39 weeks pregnant period like cramps

[Leannecog89]

Hi im new to this and just looking for some advise on what others may have been experiencing. Im 39 5 pregnant and ive had the occasional period like cramps for about 2 weeks then last night i was woken up with them as they hurt that much.. ive had nothing since i had a dull ache earlier and now its gone... could i be close to having baby?? or could it just be growing pains?

Hi, I had them with first dd at 37 weeks and they turned out to be small contractions! Good luck!
