AW: 35/35!

35 weeks today! This is insane to me, he's really going to be here soon!!

Question thoough, has anyone been experiencing period like cramps for any amount of time? I know they are normal and they're considered contractions but I'm wondering how long I may have them before baby decides to come. I've had light ones off and on for a month-ish and the last few days I've had more throughut the day and more intense cramping. I would say I have anywhere from 2-6 a day and at least 1-4 of those are pretty intense, but not stop me in my tracks intense.

DH and I are debating if I'll end up delivering early or possibly go late.

    Yes, their Braxton hicks. Last a few seconds. Drinking water n relaxing either sitting or laying makes them go away. I don't think they determine if your going before your due date or not. Some days I get 23 a day.

    That's what I thought too. Can BH last for a minute or longer? I timed one yesterday and it was nearly a minute and a half before the cramp went away.

    YEY! Congrats on this milestone! This will be me on Sunday :)

    As for the cramps, YES this just started for me and kept me up for a while last night. I talked to the OB and they said it is considered contractions and that it was a good sign things were starting to move along. Of course if they get in a pattern or consistent or worse to call. Hoping things are moving along for you! I am thinking things are going to happen sooner rather then later for us as well so we are prepping and getting stuff ready this weekend! GL hun!

    No way to predict when you'll go into labour. I have had BH in retrospect since 18 weeks but they are definitely longer, more frequent, and more intense these days. Where I live you just need to go in if you are having more than 6 in an hour or if they are becoming regular. I get lots mid day and in the evenings. It certainly sounds like that's what you're experiencing. Might as well bring it up at your next appointment though!

    It's so hard to really predict when a baby is going arrive, but we cannot help keep wondering, right?! 

    I have been having BH here and there but it's not painful at all.  My friend told me a couple of days before she delivered, she felt really miserable with all kinds of discomfort.  

    Congrats on 35/35!!!
