Period like cramping (not the tightening feeling of Braxton Hicks) at 36 weeks. Is that a sign labor is approaching?

Question

Answer

No, not necessarily. I had cramping for weeks before giving birth to all my babies. It helps to stay hydrated. I was hospitalized for dehydration and severe and consistent cramping with one of my babies. She still came on time.

Answer

I went into preterm labor 33 and 34 weeks for both my pregnancies and they always felt like period cramps. Time them and if there is a pattern call your doctor or l&d
