Oh and yeah ^^ if your dog is following you that's a very informative clue! I had a German Sheppard who loved to jump all over us every time she saw us and one day she came running up to me like she was gonna jump and she just stopped two weeks later i found out i was exactly 2 weeks pregnant (i have an abnormally high amount of hormones while pregnant so i always find out way way way before most woman do this pregnancy i took a test 10 days after conception and it came out positive!)

I'm only 22+3 weeks and I've been getting those period like cramps really low and they have been HORRIBLY  painful for me! I've also been having them with a mix of what i think are contractions but not too sure this is my third baby but my youngest is almost 5 and i never went through this before with my son or daughter :/ maybe your having Braxton Hicks?? I've been feeling a lot of tightening sometimes when i have the cramps that's why i think contractions are mixed in there :/

Well, if your dog is following you around that could be a sign. Dogs are very keen on this sort of thing.

From what I have heard, labor is like really intense period pains so maybe your body is getting ready to contract.
