Contractions? 🧐

Question

35weeks 4 days 
So I’ve up since 3AM cramping lol just feels like I’m on my period, lower back aches and everything. But definitely not “the worst period cramps ever.” I guess it’s normal unless it becomes unbearable or my water breaks or something? Lol first time mom 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

With my first pregnancy my labor started with period cramps but they didn't get bad or unbearable until I was dialated to 7-10cm. You could be in the start of labor, or it could be Braxton Hicks. I was in labor for 2 days and 13 hours. It was the early morning of the third day before the period cramp feeling with contractions got significantly difficult to deal with.

Answer

I've had cramping everyday since Saturday. Midwife says it's just my body preparing for labor. I'm 40w1d.
