BH vs. Period-Like Cramping

yvonka.row

I am not even sure if I could tell if I have had a BH.  I definitely am having period-like cramping, and for at least a week.  It's starting to come more often as opposed to just in the morning or at night but still nothing.  I am 41+1 and anxious for this to pick up.  I lost my mucus plug last Thursday and so I thought that might lead into more but nope.  Are any other women experiencing the cramping and not the BH?  Or from what they can tell?  I just wish for this baby to come before my induction day next week!

contractions for me feel like period cramps at first.  As they progress the period like cramps wrap around to the back.  Hopefully it means something and they lead to labor.  GL

Mine were period cramps that started in my back and wrapped around to the front. At no time, even now, have my BH felt like period cramps. I've had some painful ones, but it was a super mild pain, more like a muscle or ligament stretching.

Contractions for me felt like a wave of pain low under my bump. They were unmistakable as contractions....they would come on and then be strongest at the halfway peak mark and then release/subside.
