Period pain?

Hi ladies,

Im 32 weeks and keep getting period like pains every so often, really low down and sometimes into my thighs..only lasts about a minute and my tummy doesn't go hard or anything but i do feel a bit of pressure while its happening. Any ideas? Could it be practise contactions?

I remember having one huge contraction at 30 weeks last time but that really took my breath away, so much pressure and tummy rock hard.

Anyone else get this? I had a section last time so didn't get to experience contractions or early labour. This plays on my mind a lot as im not sure i would realise if really early labour started!

Thanks for reading.

It's probably worth just giving your midwife a quick ring to chat it over. I had period-like pains at 38 weeks and a day later they turned into labour
