Not Contractions but Cramps?

Hi ladies, just trying to understand if this is normal... So I seem to have cramps similar to what we had when our bellies were growing - round ligament pains, mixed with period pain & lightening crotch whenever I'm up and moving but once I'm sat or back to bed lying down, they die down pretty quickly...It almost feels like if I'm not up and about I'd never have contractions? 😅 Also lil man doesn't move much or at all until I'm fully awake (which I'm guessing that I'm potentially not feeling as they are not like big "kicks" anymore)....but what I find strange is that I often feel, which I assume is his foot, pushing outwards and super solid around my belly button if I sleep well in one position too long 😅 when I turn from left to right that also moves to the opposite side... it's been about a week or two like this and all normal other than that during the day, so wondering if all sounds normal from your experience so far or from before 🤔 Thank you!

Yeh I've been the same I think, lots of period like cramps but more constant, not surges like a contraction would be. It's really annoying as every time I feel them I'm like oooh could this be it, but it never is. Been going on for weeks too!

@Louise this morning they were there even when I was lying down, just don't know which ones to take seriously anymore or what is healthy or what should be of concern 😅 I'm feeling okay personally but the unknown is stressful

To me, the contractions were like period pain. For me, mine were more intense when I lay down. I had to sleep sitting up for 3 nights 🤣.

@Loren oh wow 😲 I can only imagine how challenging that must've been - I'm definitely not complaining as I manage to sleep okay other than waking up for bathroom visits or typical cockroach turns from side to side haha but it feels strange for a baby that never kicked hard I'm finding his feet or butt pushing out like that haha
