im 40w2d and i have been feeling sore cramping in my tummy
If it comes and goes they can definitely be contractions...monitor them and see how far apart they are...you are so close... Good luck mama
I went to hospital the day before having my love and was hooked up to a machine to monitor heartbeat during contractions and there were a few when the nurse asked if i even was feeling the contractions. I did, but one felt like gas and another i thought was baby kicks, so it depends on your body to know. They were early labor and i had to have a c section in the end,so i'm sure the later stage labor pains are much worse, but i did have some sneaky ones like i said and some that i figured were( nurse confirmed)
Im same 40 weeks + 6 days and my back and been having cramp like contractions but im not going to hospital till I need pain meds when I need pain meds they keeping me 4 sure dont want to go to hospital and be locked down to that bed :-)
Good luck if it is hun, let us know. :)
Sounds like it may be time :) if the sharp pains turn into cramps that come close together you will know it's contractions
