37+1 day - painful cramping

Monique

So this is a bit of a weird one, i’m currently getting painful cramping in my lower abdomen, like a sharp pain. Feels like when you’ve eaten a dodgy curry or something and you need to release your bowels.

Tried sitting on the toilet for a good 45mins and i’ve managed to pass some loose stools but very small 🙈 and i’m still cramping.

I doubt this is labour as I heard labour starts of as gradual pains not so intense.

Any similar experiences? I’m tired of sitting on the toilet 😩
