Question!!

[Trisha_Z]

So I'm 37 weeks and I'm getting sharp pains like cramps. They come and go within 3-6 minutes sometimes for 30 seconds or less. Could I be going into labor?!

It could indeed be labor.  If they feel like menstrual cramps then chances are it's the beginning stages of labor.  With my first I began laboring at approximately 1am with slight menstrual like cramps, that came and went I was able to go to sleep thinking maybe it was early labor, then I woke up at 5:30am with the pains only much stronger and closer together lasting about a minute each coming every 2-3mins.  I called my friend to ask her if it was labor and she told me it was.  So I went to the hospital after first eating breakfast and when they checked my cervix I was 5cms dilated.. Needless to say, it was labor and my son was born at 1:45pm.
