Going mad with what I think are pre-labour symptoms - please help?

It started about 1 and half weeks ago when I had a nesting period. About a day after that I started not to feel well, and started getting a constant pressure as if I need to go number two. Since then I have had on and off menstrual cramps, but the last few days every evening I have what feel like beginning contractions but they always stop after a couple of hours.
I have had softer stools for the last 1 and half weeks, but yesterday I did have diarrhea once.
Once again last night I felt that I was having contractions and they seemed to be coming every 9 minutes, but once again they stopped. My whole body was aching last night and I went to bed at 8pm cause I was sooooooo tired, but then I was up at 11pm again cause I was feeling so uncomfortable.
Last night my baby felt like he was doing full turns in my tummy, I was actually worried that he may be distressed in there? My tummy feels very sore today.

The thing is, I am only 30 weeks. This is my 2nd pregnancy, first pregnancy I gave birth at 37 weeks, but did not experience any of the above, my waters broke before anything else.

Does it sound like something to worry about? I really don't believe these are 'normal late pregnancy symptoms' as I am sure some people will say.

Thanks and sorry it's long.
I agree that they are braxton hicks, but they are painful all the time.
