Okay for some reason my posts are posting right and just that one got through...as for my original question:
I am 36 wks and 3 days, i'm feeling shooting kind of uterin or crotch like pains (not sure how to describe it) they feel like they move downward, Not really accompanied by muscle contractions as far i can tell, but i have a couple of those in the last few days. It is not unbearable but certainly growing uncomfortable. Did anybody who has already delivered experience this same thing, and is it definatly a complication or a sign of early labor? I've heard you should stay at home as long as u can if u think ur going into labor due to false labor and stuff like that. Am i going early or do i just need to grin and bare it??

From your description of the pain it sounds like the baby's head is pressing down on nerves in your pelvis. This can happen in late pregnancy, especially when the head is engaging. I experienced shooting pains that felt like someone was poking me with a knitting needle or something or like the babies foot was going to come out! I would speak to the midwife or doctor to check though as I'm not a medical expert. I have had 5 kids though! Hopefully it just means your baby is getting ready to be born. Good luck and hope everything go's well!

I don't think that's the real thing yet. 30 minutes apart? That's too far. Besides the real labor feels like a very big urge to defecate and the pain is located in the lower back.
But to be sure, go to the hospital. They will strap you up to one of those machines that monitor your uterine contractions. If it's too powerful, they'l give you Duvadilan or any of those drugs to tone it down.

Get yourself to hospital they are the only ones that can tell whether you are in labour or not. What have you got to loose?
