Very early labour?

[ralv]

Hi Ladies...
I'm only 33+2 so really hope DS isn't making an early appearance as I have nothing ready yet!!
Yesterday and this morning I have been having some crampy, period type pains, lower back ache and sore hips. There doesn't seem to be a pattern though and they are lasting for about 20 minutes... so doesn't seem like contractions to me (although this is my first so I really have no idea!).
I'm having a few tightenings as well but they don't seem to be connected to the other symptoms.

Is this just a common part of later pregnancy?

Thanks for your advice, in advance

If the cramps become more regular and rather painful I'd definitely call the Maternity Unit. Hopefully it's just normal aches n pains. Fingers crossed X

my seconds was born at 28 weeks and shes fine now, you might just be getting cramps due to ur baby grown and ur body streching or braxton hicks
