Period-like cramps at 34 weeks - normal?

Nicole • Momma 🐻

The past couple nights I’ve woken up to cramps similar to what I’d experience in my first trimester or period cramps. It is only happening at nighttime and is definitely not Braxton-Hicks contractions (they’re lower and are not accompanied by abdominal tightening). Is this normal/okay? They’re not really that painful but uncomfortable enough to wake me out of my sleep.
