I’m 37+4 and at my appt yesterday I was 1cm and 60% effaced. My dr said cervical checks help stretch the cervix a little but to start natural home remedies to get my body going. Last night we had sex and now (2:30am) I woke up having horrible back cramps!

My belly isn’t getting tight however these cramps come in waves. It woke me up due to the pain.

Is this just me dilating more or possibly labor? What was your experience?
