Really bad period pains 39+6 weeks pregnant

[MommaVixen]

Hi Everyone

Been having light period like pains for the passed 2 weeks.
Yesterday about 1pm i got up with seriously bad cramp like pain in the left side of my back which also came round to the stomach.
Then just had really bad uncomfortable period like pains all day.
The woke up again this mornimg at 9am with the exact same thing. Went for a bath but didnt relax anything.
Dont know what to make of it as im a first time Mum.
I called the MW but she said wait until theyre more regular.
They havent been much help through all the pregnancy so would like a bit of advice from anyone.
Along with all this nausea and sorry TMI but very loose poos?

Im a first time mum, should I call the community midwives and alert them? I haven’t had regular pains but they are prolonged pains throughout the day

Yes, let them know, better to be safe. Good luck

This is good advice

IME labour felt just like period pain (back and belly) and period symptoms (hot and cold, sicky, crabby temper, achy thighs)

The OP's 'baby' will be about 4 1/2 now

This has tickled me, I followed this thread when I was due around the same time and my little one has now started school 😂
