How is this normal?

Question

Went in to my doctors today because I am having bad period like cramps along with bad back pain. It's to the point I feel nauseas. They checked me and said im still 1.5 centimeters dilated and still thick so there was not much to do about it. I can't get comfortable and can't sleep cause I feel like I'm having a really bad period. Is this really just a normal pregnancy thing?   I'm 36 weeks and 3 days.

Answer

Yes, unfortunately it's extremely normal this late in pregnancy. I have period like cramps along with Braxton Hicks every day.

Answer

Dilating can cause the crampyness also. Try taking tylenol and get rest. Also make sure you are staying hydrated. I can't stress this enough. I hadn't had cramps at all until one day I didn't drink enough water. Took a nap drank 2 glasses of water and felt better. I now make sure to drink at least 6-8 bottles of water a day!

So don't know what to do with this but hang in there feeling miserable in bed not being able to sleep...😓
