Cramps

[Cutiecat]

This is DC3 and I am having really strong crampy pain now at 37+3 weeks. The baby is also moving quite a lot. It is really achy in my pants, it feels like dialation. Do I take a couple of paracetamols and go to bed or try to walk about and see if they go.

Hmmmm Was on time with both previous babies.

Any thoughts?

I would say try & sleep. If it's going to get stronger you will soon wake up

Let us know how you get on & good luck!

Thanks thorny. I thought the same. Apparently you have lots of false starts with number 3. Just got to try and stay rational. Having been through it before i know there is no way you could miss it when the contractions kick in.

Shuddering at the memory.

Loads of us on the June antenatal thread were like this with our 3rd & 4th DCs, in my case I think it shortened the process when the time came for the real deal!
