Experiencing period like cramps. The doctor thought braxton hicks but I don't feel tightening and they feel low.

Currently 37+3. Did anyone else experience this? How soon after dod you go into labour?

Anxious mama!

I had braxton hicks for weeks before going into labour. When you have one of the cramps. Feel your belly, if it’s gone smooth and very hard/firm, then it’s braxton hicks. If the belly is usual soft and round, then the cramps your feeling could be the relaxin hormone which loosens your hip ligaments gradually in preparation for and during last few weeks before birth.
