menstrual-like cramps

[m_mari]

I'm 35 weeks n these past few days I've had on and off menstrual like cramps. My tummy doesn't get super hard and they're not unbearable but they're getting very uncomfortable. So far today they haven't gone away. Anyone going through the same thing or have any suggestions??

I kinda figured I needed to go in... they have already stopped labor once this pregnancy. I guess I just wanted to avoid getting poked :/ thanks ladies

I had that too at 33 weeks. Hurts lower belly, back and legs so they told me to come in and I was in preterm labor. When I told my dr that I had menstrual like cramping he immediately said 'those are contractions'. Then he checked my cervix and it was short, i got a non stress test and sure enough i was having contractions every 2 or 3 minutes. I'd go in if I were you. They are stopping my labor until 36 weeks.

I had that problem Dr kept telling me it was nothing so I learned to ignore it
