Hello,
Above clinical features are quite common near term or prior to delivery of the baby. True labor pain will be constant, regular, rhythmic uterine contraction and located around lower abdomen.
Paracetamol is not useful at this stage. Kindly, consult with healthcare provider or your obstetrician for proper assessment. Good luck.
