I feel kind of period-y

jenny1980 · December 2009

I have low cramping that feels a lot like PMS/the start of my period. Baby is still super high and these aren't "contractions" exactly (not timeable, just kind of come and go). My thought is that it's probably just more uterus stretching, but wasn't sure if this is something I should be concerned about.

My OB told me (scolded me, really) that I should always call her about period-like cramps.

I had those yesterday and the day before... Thinking/hoping it's just growing pains.

I've had them since last night, but they're pretty constant for me. Not contractions, though. I go back to my midwife tomorrow. She'd told me to only call if I had cramping plus bleeding. I just have the cramping.

I'll drink some water and give it a bit. If they don't go away, I'll call. I see my OB Thursday so I'll mention it then.

This.

I had exactly that feeling around 35w. It was on and off for a few days, but it felt just like I was getting my period. I called my MW and she really pressed me to say if it was cramping or aching and I honestly couldn't tell. I said to me, it is cramps, but she said cramps would have a distinct beginning and end and be timeable. Aching would be constant, mine was constant so who knows! Worth a call if it keeps up, but I am thinking it is totally normal for this stage of the game.

How long have you been crampy? Cramps should come and go and be timeable.

I feel like this on and off...I tell my OB at every appt, and she just notes it, and moves on. She said it's nothing to be concerned about unless you can time them.
