I have had to wear breast pads since about 26 wks pregnant, but it was only a little bit of colostrum now and again, but for the past two days a lot more is being produced and I also have felt painful braxton hicks, period like pains and backache. Is this anything for me to be concerned about? I am 36 wks Fri

Nothing to be concerned about as far as the colostrum goes. Milk comes in after the baby is born, a couple of days later.
Since you are so far along into the pregnancy, you will feel more braxton hicks contractions and the aches and pains. Give your ob/gyn a call about the period like pains, you may want to be checked out, make sure that you aren't going into labor just yet.
I wish you all the best!

This is normal. Don't worry. When your baby is born, put it to the breast asap, this is the best way to stimulate a good and enduring milk supply. After that, feed your baby as often as it wants to, for as long as it wants to. Seek support from a professional organisation such as the Breastfeeding Network if you have any problems: http://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk

Braxton hicks is not unusual at this time , but it is always best to check in with your OBGYN.
Better safe than sorry !
