I've been having these same cramps lately..I'd really like to know what's causing it.  When I went to the OB Tuesday, she told me that I was already 1.5 cm dilated..maybe the cervix changing is causing these menstrual type cramps..?

okay so don't laugh with this...are you wearing the low-waist-band maternity pants that hit right across the pelvis area? Those seem to bring on the cramps for me right away and they're not even tight. If I stand up, walk around a bit then it goes away. I also get those if I'm feeling especially "tooty". But if that doesn't clear it for you, this could be "the start" for you. Let us know!!!

mel, i was feeling that for about 30 minutes this morning, along with some BH. after i ate breakfast and drank a ton of water, it's all gone... for now. kind of intense for a few minutes.

girl! that's what i felt a week ago!... no tightening, nothing... just the horrible menstrual cramps... and by the end of the day i could barely walk!... turned out my colitis was acting up... also i was dehydrated and just 'irritated' like they called it... when you over do yourself... but not having contractions... Maddie was active and playing and kicking, and they hooked me for an hour to those monitors... took a pee test and sent me right back home! lol

But! you don't wanna ignore any pain girlie, why don't you try again in a little bit to talk to your doc, or just plain and simple drive yourself to the hospital (L&D)...?? you're never too safe and you shouldn't ignore it...

Let me know how it goes!!!! =)
