I’m 37+1 and have also been having this for about a week, usually in the evenings. Quite mild period like cramps and regular tightenings x
35+4 and the same here, usually evenings and mild period like cramps with some lower back aches

Hey 👋🏼 I'm 36 weeks + 2 days, I've been having the exact same cramps and lower back pain just like this, had my 36 weeks appointment with my midwife today and she said it's to be expected at this stage due to your body is pushing through that last month left and it'll be your hormones building up to prepare your body for labour seeing as from 37 weeks you'll be 'full term' and able to basically go into labour from any given point then; not to worry. Baby is probably just pushing down and emgaging more into labour position ready for their arrival x Have you still been able to feel baby move okay? If you're worried or concerned I'd call the PAC / antenatal ward and just raise any concern to them and see what they say. You know your body best & I'm sure like the rest of us, even if everything's fine then you've been given extra reassurance! 🫶🏼
