Period cramps

Hi ladies, I’m 35+4 (due 18th December, apparently she’s engaged and head very low down.. I’ve started with what I can only describe as period cramps, nothing intense just a constant dull ache down below and in my lower back. It’s exactly how I would feel when on my period . First time mum.. anyone else experiencing this? When I google things alls that comes up is ‘early labour’ 😳🙈 xx

This is how I started with my first. You can call. I held out to see if they got stronger throughout the day, which they did. Good luck x

I had that at 35/36 weeks and then they would stop for after 20 minutes. Currently 37 weeks. If they were gonna continue I was gonna ring midwife x

I had my last baby at 38w, a week or so before I went into labour I had terrible lower back pain and my labour started with period like pains which eventually formed a pattern and increased in intensity! This time around I'm 36w and getting a LOT of braxton hicks and lower back pain so wondering if Labour could be close?? Who knows feel like it's all a guessing game haha

It might be Braxton Hicks. If they're not getting stronger or more frequent then you should be fine xx

That’s what happened to Me Thursday then it intensified very quickly (second time mum) she arrived a few hours later!!!! X
