Period-Like Cramps?

Question

I have 30 days left and for the past few days have had period like cramps. Today I've had them all day and they are starting to go into my back. I'm a FTM and this just takes me back to my MC last summer. Is this normal the last month of pregnancy? Yesterday my stomach was upset all day so I thought maybe that was the cause but today they've been sticking around.

Answer

When I had those, I was told they were BH. I drank a lot more water and felt better.

Answer

You could be in labor. I'm at 37 tomorrow and just started I feel cramping every once in a while with increased pelvic pressure. Many describe labor like painful menstrual cramps. I would start timing them and the distance between them. Your water doesn't have to break to be in labor.

Answer

Some peoples contractions just feel that way. That's mainly how mine feel. I asked my midwife about it and that's what she said. I have experienced them starting in my back and more sharp, but only about 3 or so times.

Answer

Yes it's normal. I have them all the time. It's just your body's way of getting ready for labor. No worries though, the preparation can start for up to a month in advance

Answer

Glad I found this post I'm 34+6 and for the last week I've felt cramps especially if I've been walking or been active doing things in the house. I asked the midwife she wasn't concerned just said it was normal to help the baby's head start to decend into the pelvis :)

Answer

I've been having these cramps really bad, but saw doctor and was told that it was completely normal for your last month. They assured me that walking and warm baths or Tylenol could help with this.

Answer

I am 37 weeks and have had them for 3 weeks now. I was only 1cm dilated on Friday and my dr said the cramps are normal. Mine have gone to my back as well. I hope that doesn't mean back labor for us.

Answer

Me too. I also feel a pinching in my butt (best way I can explain it)

Answer

Please share an update. :) I started having the exact same prob last night and still having it this morning. Just a crampy feeling down low. I will b 37 weeks tomorrow.

Answer

I had the same the starting around 34-35 weeks and my doctor told
Me they were false labor pains, I am now 37 weeks (continuing with the cramps) and still waiting on this little boy of mine to make his entrance into the world!
