Crampy feeling--normal?

greenrunner4

I have been feeling crampy on and off for a few days, and have been having lots of (irregular) contractions over the last weeks...ALso have had chills and not feeling great in general. Also more discharge than normal. Is this anything to do with labor or I am getting sick??? I don't know how this goes. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been crampy feeling since 35 weeks too. When I told my MW she told me that is good, means stuff is happening. Which sounds right, at my last appt I was 70% effaced and a fingertip dialated. Which can mean nothing or something all at the same time...

When in doubt, call your doctor. ?You're not full-term yet, and if you are in early pre-term labor, your doctor will likely take steps to stop it.

I have been getting cramps since about 36 weeks. But if I were you I would call the Doc, since you're not full term yet, just in case it may be pre-term labor.

I didn't feel well last night and had the chills....hopefully that is a labor sign!

I was feeling irregular contractions, and then they became regular contractions at 35 weeks. I had to have shots and when they didn't work, I was put on procardia. I was able to stop taking the procardia when I was 36 weeks. Now I just have contractions that are not 'progressing' the labor.

Good luck. I was always second guessing myself, I'm glad I called and went into the hospital.
