Labor starting soon??

Question

Period like cramps yesterday afternoon into this morning. Nothing is helping or making them go away but they’re not intensifying by much either. They’re getting a little worse this morning and I’m getting restless and nauseous. I feel like the worst day of my period, very strong period cramps and I constantly feel like I have to poop. Could it be that labor is near? Or just regular third trimester symptoms?

Answer

Answer

I'm having the same thing this morning....kind of feels like my period is starting. Hoping that it's not real labor yet! This is my first so I'm not really sure how to tell the difference between Braxton Hicks and true contractions. I'm just trying to take it easy and let my body rest today.

Answer

Definitely could be either one! I had the same exact symptoms but then they died down later that night.
