Cramps

[Firsttimemummy2017]

Hi, just looking for advice, I am 38+3 weeks I have been getting period like cramps for a few days now, does this mean labour is likely soon or is it just my bodies way of messing with me 🙈

Sounds like things could be happening soon! I woke up during the night with mild period like cramps but things progressed quickly and they got stronger over the course of a few hours and dd arrived that afternoon!

Hello, when I was pregnant with my son I was 36 weeks and had very bad cramps/abdo pain. Didn't have a clue I was having contractions called the hospital who said likely a UTI and to come in. Two hours later I delivered him!

Could be a number of things, one of them early labour, take some paracetamol and have a warm bath, should hopefully make u feel bit better. Early night, plenty rest, u may not get any for a while so enjoy while u can.

All the best xx

Thanks ladies, hopefully it's not today my husband is at conference with work, back tomorrow night so hopefully she holds off until then. Will run my bath just now x
