pregnancy type cramping

[tye]

hi everyone . im 39+2 today and since waking this morning have been getting period like cramping mainly in the bottom of my back that seemed to feel worse when i was standing. they were not coming at regular times or anything and seemed to tail of around 5 0clock this afternoon. around an hour ago they seem to have come back again they feel a bit stronger but not lots and not at regular times again either.
so was just wondering if any of you have ever had this is it just another one of those pregnancy niggles we get or could this be a sign things are starting to move along?

thats how my labour started. Good luck!!! (I had back labours)

just realised the title was ment to read period type cramping not pregnancy type cramping. lol

hi stillenacht did yours start of coming at regular intervals that you could time or did you have to wait for them to build up to this?

no it was just ongoing for about 4/5 hours (was induced - woke up at about 5 am in hospital with back ache and period pains) and by about 9am they were more stronger than period pains...until 1pm they would come and go and from 1pm onwards they got stronger and continuosly there (didn't have any of the 30 seconds or whatever between contractions - just permanent period contractiony things) Had DS at 9pm.

thanks for replying i hope this is the case for me really cant wait to meet my little girl. best not get myself to excited though.

Good luck
