Cramping 36 weeks 5 days
FTM here. I started feeling some pretty bad cramping (like beyond period pain but not bad enough that I couldn't talk) about 45 minutes ago. They felt like they would come and go, so I started timing them. They're not regular and got further apart as time went on, and this is TMI but I also became pretty gassy around the same time. Now my lower abdomen/lower back just feels sore and I get that same cramping pain every time baby moves. Does this sound like my body just getting ready? My dr said not to get checked unless I have 6 contractions in an hour, but to be honest, I don't even know what a contraction feels like! I only had 4 cramping episodes before I just felt sore with back pain. I've had a lot of fluids today so I don't think I'm dehydrated. Baby has been extra active.
