Period cramps 37 weeks

Amy

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and the last few days I’ve been getting period pains on and off, also tightenings I’m not sure how to describe it. Yesterday I thought it could be labour and started to time the cramps even though I didn’t think they were contractions, and I had a couple in an hour then they went. Today I feel a bit crampy but it obviously isn’t labour. Just wondered if anyone out there is experiencing the same?! I’m a FTM so if anyone can tell me if they had this and if it led to labour / is a sign of anything please let me know! So excited and on edge
