period like cramps

[aliya92]

Hey guys I am 26+5 weeks and this morning around 5 I woke up with what felt like period like cramps. Anybody experience this so late in pregnancy. Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening? Apart from that I bfr been having a lot of pressure in my pelvic region mostly towards my back but really low for the last week. It seems to get increasingly worse each day but I dont feel the pressure all the time its on again off again. Can anyone help?

Oh wow so I just realized I wrote that I am 26 + 5 days. I didn't realize I'm actually 27 +5 days. Smh time is def going quickly

Ive had cramping throughout my whole pregnancy. My doc called it a cranky uterus.. Next time you get it time them cuz it can b signs of premature labour. Ive also had the pressure since about 25 weeks and somedays i cant stand for more then 10 mins. My doc said its from all the pressure on my pelvus but your doc can check to make sure its not from baby dropping. Bh contractions are different from period cramping they tighten ur tummy which i also get but can tell the difference between the two. I would mention all this to your doc so u can be aware of all the sigbs of premature labour. I was told by my doc that the period cramping are contractions but only have to worry if they become consistent.

Thanks ladies. I didn't know braxton hicks hurt. But it is a possibility that's what it may be. The cramps don't last long probably couple of mins n then will stop. Then come back again. It'l shouldn't be anything majorily serious because baby grl is moving quite fine. But the cramps and pressure do make me feel uncomfortable. But I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this so I don't have to freak out about. Thanks ladies for replying

I'm not sure but sometimes I get pains from the ligaments that are lower on my belly so maybe that could be it? or maybe the pressure could be how your baby is positioned? try not to stress because pregnancy can make you feel all kinds of weird things but just bring it up at your next doctors visit and see what they say

Braxton Hicks contractions? I dunno about the pressure tho. . .maybe some of the other ladies can help.

You can start feeling braxton hicks as early as the second trimester
