37 weeks... feeling crampy... does this mean I may have dilated?

It could mean that your body is starting to prepare for labor but it also might not mean anything. I am 38 weeks pregnant today and have had that same menstrual like cramping for a few weeks now. I am starting to efface but last time the doctor checked me I was not dilated at all. I go back tomorrow to see if I am dilating yet. Hang in there. The last few weeks seem to drag on forever. Hopefully you will have more answers at your appointment on Friday.
