The day of my c section, I stopped my anti contraction meds.  I got to the hospital and told the nurse that I was having bad menstrual cramps.  She said "Those are contractions, honey!"

I'm getting the same thing.  Menstrual like cramps very low in my abdomen.  I'm hoping that means baby is almost ready!

I keep having sharp pains on either my right or left side and I guess if I stop and think about it, it's probably like bad menstrual cramps.  It goes away but sometimes takes quite awhile and I have to lay down nor get on all 4's.  It happened while I was driving the other day and I thought I was going to have to pull over. This is my third baby and I did NOT have this with the other two.  I go to the doc. on Thursday so I'll definately be asking about it too.  I'm sure it's normal but super uncomfortable. I think little man is really big too which is part of the problem!!  Good luck.
