Contractions

I know the pain of contractions feel like period pains but is it just at the bottom of your stomach like a period cramp or all over like the top as well. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and have been having weird pains all over my stomach area.

It all depends on you answer where baby is. Some people have pains lower down, others in the back and others all over the tummy. Best way to tell is they feel like period pains and each one will gradually get stronger, peak and then the pain will fade. Contractions will also get stronger and more painful as you get more of them. If your concerned call the hospital. If you wait for a bit you will soon know if your in labour or not. Good luck!
