3rd Trimester
Anyone else? Dull constant PMS-like cramps..
For the last week I've had the feeling like my period was going to start.. that PMS-like cramp really low. It doesnt get any better or worse, stays pretty constant. I feel like I just need a heating pad or something! At night, its always more noticible and is accompanied by some back ache. I experience BH throughout the day (have since 25wks with PTL) but no particular pattern. I had my peri appt last week and mentioned it to her, they didnt seem too concerned since my cervix, although "short", hasn't changed in the last few weeks and is still closed. Just wondering if anyone else is having the constant dull pain..

Re: Anyone else? Dull constant PMS-like cramps..
These have become the norm for me the past 2 weeks. Doc told me that they are commonly caused by your cervix thinning out in preperation for labor. She said it wasn't really an indication of labor, but at least a sign that my body is doing the right thing!
I told her I was glad to hear that it was for something and not just another one of those sucky parts about being pregnant. Every time I feel the cramps now I just tell myself "This is good. My body knows what it's doing!"
