taking EPO = cramping

Roland
Hi girls! I'm 37w1d today, so I started taking primrose orally last night as recommended by my midwife. She said to take it orally up until 38 weeks and then insert it vaginally until my due date(nov 15th). I don't know if it's a coincidence, but last night at around 11 pm, I had constant cramps( similar to menstrual cramps) for an hr straight or so, it was so uncomfortable, I couldn't go back to sleep. Has this ever happen to any of you? I have been having lots of lower back pain for some time now, so I'm thinking it might just be a coincidence. I'll take the primrose orally tonight, and hopefully those horrible cramps don't come back
