36 weeks pregnant with constant period like cramping is labor coming soon?

edited July 2011 in Labor
This is my first so I have no idea what to expect. I'm 36 weeks 3 days...since yesterday morning I have been having almost constant cramps like I'm on my period. They're mostly just dull but every once in a while I get a shooting pain that lasts just a few seconds then its dull again. I've had plenty of water, changed positions and walked around but theyre no better and no worse. I've also been having stress headaches. What does this mean? I have gestational diabetes, and I smoke so I'm already at risk of having her preterm, though I'll be 37 weeks on Wednesday.
