Light contraction?

Question

Okay so I’m 38 Weeks and I had this sudden crampy feeling in my lower belly. Close to my groin. It didn’t go away when I got up to go to the bathroom and it lasted about 1-3 minutes. It’s gone now. 
I looked up videos on youtube that talked about them and the L&D; nurse in the video said it could be a contraction. 
Is that what it was?? I’ve had consistent back pain since Friday and that won’t go away and I was 2cm on Friday. And was having contractions at the hospital but didn’t feel them. 
Did I just have a contraction?

Answer

Could be practice contractions preparing for the real thing. I waited until my contractions were five minutes apart before going in. Time them even if they don’t feel strong. My labor contractions I was certain was not. It was like bad menstrual cramps. But when I realized they were consistent timed apart I went in anyways. I was in labor.

Answer

if they are 1 to 3 mins apart u in labor best option is to go to the hospital

Answer

Contractions in labour actually start at the top of the uterus and contract down so if it started so low in your groin it may not be a true contraction. In saying that if in doubt always call or get checked :)
