I can't really help you, because I don't know... but I had menstrual like cramps too last night, but they subsided. I get cramps every once in a while and more often than not, I think it's just gas... Yep. Embarrassing. If it lasts for a long time though, I'd call your ob just to be sure.
I have them - they're contractions (to me, they are not BH, they feel differently). My MW says not to worry unless there are more than 5-6 in an hour or you have blood/fluid.
Yes. I've been feeling them, too, especially in the mornings. My OB says they're normal and are a part of the uterus growing and growing. But she said that if they last too long, I should call her.
Re: cramps.
Exactly! No matter what I do I can't get comfortable.
