Feel like my period is coming!!! Help. FTM

[lynzgary]

Im 38 weeks today and just woke up an hour ago with a weird sensation that hasnt gone away.
I feel like im going to get my period or am on my period.
I have menstrual cramps but they arent painful and also have the "sleepy leg" feeling i get with my period.

Has this happened to anyone else? Im about to go to work and a little worried that this may be the start of labour.

Im not in pain though and havnt lost any of my mucus plug.
I live in Ireland and they dont do cervic exams to see if you are dialating at all so i dont know anything on that front.

I guess im feeling very confused

My doctor gave me a list of reasons to call and  menstrual cramps are on that list. If you can bare going to work do so, always have a spare set of clothes you never know what will happen. Hope all is ok.

If I were you, I wouldn't go to work today. I would rather stay at home and walk or do pregnancy safe yoga.

I'd go to work. Moving around will get it started or cause it to stop. then you'll know.
