A Pain in the Bum (literally)

So at around 34 weeks I experienced a bleed and a possible rupture of my "fore waters". And because of this there is every chance my plug already dislodged. Now at 36 +4, after having some very painful but ineffective contractions last week, I am experiencing a lot of pressure and odd shooting pains in my bottom. I know baby is fully engaged now so might that be the reason for the pains?
Perhaps a trapped nerve?
The docs and MW's have warned of early labour after my bleed, however with the last lot of contractions being nothing but a false alarm I don't really know what to expect anymore with pre labour symptoms.

Any ideas?

I don't like telling you this, but for a large part of my second labour, I felt like I was being, for wont of a more delicate term, buggered.
Get in touch with your midwifery team or call the local labour ward. I think you should be being examined sooner rather than later.

I won't lie. I am certainly hoping for that outcome.
This is one big baby so I would rather he was out sooner lol. x
