Hello ladies! I need your help! I am 37 weeks pregnant and this afternoon I had really painful stomach cramps, almost as painful as leg cramp. They were from my belly button upwards. It happened twice in 15 minutes but didn't come again. Only now the top I my stomach feels achy, what could this be?
Thanks ladies xxxx

Sounds like a couple of big Braxton Hicks, practice contractions, most women do get them and they can range from the completely un-noticeable to the quite uncomfortable. It's your body's way of having a bit of a warm up and a practice for the big event.
If you are concerned about how much they hurt have a word with your MW. Usually a couple of paracetamol and a warm bath will ease them.
