I agree with Tarobinc.  Menstrual type cramps can be a sign of early labor.  Talk to your ob; better to be safe than sorry.

Best bet is to run it by your OB as soon as you can.

It might be early labor.  I have read where premature labor can feel like menstrual cramps.  It could also be Braxton hicks but Im not sure.

If you have more than 4 cramps an hour, you should call your OB ASAP.  That is what the OB nurse told me on Friday when I was having contractions showing on the monitor,  although I didn't feel them.
