Period type cramps?
I’m 99% sure I know the answer to this already, seems to be happening/has happened to everyone else but for my own piece of mind😂
For the past 3 days around the same time/evening I’ve been getting what I can only describe as period type pains, as if I’m gunna come on in the next few days. They aren’t painful, they don’t get worse and there’s no pattern to them or anything. Assuming this is normal? Is this Brixton hicks?
I’ll be 36 weeks tomorrow if that’s of any help☺️

I’ve also had low level cramps quite low between hipbones, once on Sunday and once today. Both times I also got a single cramps twinge in my back as well. Both times relatively short lived but Sunday was longer than today. Really hoping it is nothing. Have 36 week midwife appointment this week so will ask then. Really not ready yet, no bag packed, so it better be nothing!
Sounds like it’s just body getting ready, can have this on and off for weeks before labour!

It's pretty normal this late in pregnancy. If there's no pattern or they are just happening in the front.. it's more likely braxton hicks. It could also be baby moving downwards and getting ready for labour as well. If you find discharge or if the pain increases, or if you get more of it, especially in the back.. it's best to time them and ring triage. I had to do this last week whilst teaching my Year 11s 🤦🏻♀️
