Does anyone else feel like evenings are always worse??

Question

I’m 38+5 I’m usually good until about 4PM and then I swear I start getting all kinds of pains like cramping, pressure, shooting pain in my vagina and contractions. Every night I tell my husband “this is the night!” I think he thinks I’m officially nuts🤷🏼‍♀️ 
Anyone else??!

Answer

You’re not crazy lol cramping causing hormones peak at night. 
Per google: At night, the hormones that increase the contracting nature of your uterine muscle – estrogens and prostandins – predominate. And oxytocin and melatonin hit their peak at night too. ... Towards the end of your pregnancy, your body starts to produce more melatonin and more melatonin receptors in the uterine muscle.

Answer

THIS. Nights have always been worst for me this pregnancy, but at 38+2, they’re crazy bad. Then I wake up in the morning, and everything’s fine! 🤷🏻‍♀️
