Could I go into labor soon?

I'm 38 weeks 3 days pregnant with my second child.

At my last doctor's visit on Thursday I was 1 1/2 centimeters dilated and the baby had dropped.

Last night I started getting intense pains in my back and lower abdomen area (I've never gotten these before) but they went away.

Today I'm starting to get them again.

Does it mean labor could be near?

I'm also having very loose bowel movements.

    It's hard to say. You could be experiencing contractions but they can just go away. Or come and go and nothing happens.
