Ftm here. I've been cramping on an off for 6 days but today the cramping has been pretty intense and non stop. I timed them and they were 4 mins apart but then just quit. Now I get about 1-2 an hour. I'm 38 weeks 3 days. 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Baby's head is engaged and I've been having diarrhea all day today. Just wondering how long this can last?!
After talking with my OB, it can last days to weeks, and there isn't an easy way to predict. I mentally plan on it lasting weeks until the pain is unbearable or my water breaks. Good luck mama!
