Cramps days before birth?

Question

Hi all, I am due tomorrow and I had menstrual-like cramps for a couple of hours Sunday night. Went to bed and they just went away. Same thing happened again last night, went to bed and this morning nothing at all.
Anyone else experienced the same? Wonder if it's my body getting ready?! I'm getting so impatient!!!

Answer

I’m 39 weeks and I get cramps every single night

Answer

I had that Monday night woke up with them gone. 3 days to go for me

Answer

I have them, too, dear. I'm 39 weeks. I believe they are Braxton-Hicks. They hurt but are useful in helping push baby down further toward the pelvis, getting baby ready for delivery.

Answer

I had them last week for hours and hours a day, for 3 days. I'm not in labor, but I am 2 cm. Maybe it's progression?

Answer

Yup same gig formme since a week ago Thursday off and on!  Keep thinking it’s the begging of labor and then NOTHIGN!!  So ready! Apparently baby girl not so much!

Answer

If they hurt then they’re contractions. If they’re regular and get closer and more intense (and don’t stop) then go to the hospital. Braxton hicks are just tight and uncomfortable- not painful cramps

Answer

I heard donuts help starting labour?! 😂😂😂😝😝😝
