Menstrual Cramping sensation?

I started feeling period cramp pains and I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this or not. My due date is the 22nd of this month and I wanted to know from mom's who already have their babies or have kids how soon after the period cramping started did they go into labor? I've had them on and off for almost a week.

I'm due on the 24rd and having the same thing for the last week, doctor said they are contractions. Nothing to worry about, body is getting ready for the big day!

I had the same thing and didn't know I was in prelabor. I had period like cramps all day and towards the end of the day they became more painful so I started timing them. I took a shower and tried going to bed. Woke up at five in the morning in so much pain so I showered, woke up my fiance, and we headed to the hospital. I was in labor!! And got admitted to the hospital. Five hours later I met my sweet little man. Could be labor hun.. I'd start timing them

Contractions feel like severe menstrual cramps. Just time them, if you don't feel comfortable then just go get checked

No definitely not contractions. They feel like period cramps but they are not continuous day & night just for like half a day then they stop and will start up v again.
