Just curious...

I'm just curious if any other 3rd tri ladies are having cramping. Just feeling a bit achy in the low pelvis and hips, kinda like I'm getting ready to start my period. This is baby #2 and I'm 34 weeks. I don't recall feeling like this with baby #1. I've been stuck on bed rest since week 32, so I'm probably just hypersensitive to things at this point. Not much else to occupy my mind

I have some pretty bad pelvic pain sometimes...like I've been hit in the vag with a baseball bat. But not like period cramps.

Must be the norm. I'm having mad back pains today and cramping. Feels like he just dug in a little lower in my pelvis. Can't wait to get home from work and put sweats on. I was on bedrest for 5 weeks till birth last time so I think I missed all the uncomfortable feelings. Ready for the end

I've been having mild period like pains the past week or so also. They come and go. I've also had sore inner thighs and hips. I didn't ask about the cramps, but she said everything else is basically par for the course, especially with subsequent pregnancies. I do remember lots of period like cramping in first tri, so I've also been assuming it's more growing/stretching.

I just wanted to say that I'm glad I'm not the only one who momentarily forgets they are pregnant and think it's their period starting. :P

Yep, I keep having moment of "ah crap, I'm getting my period" before remembering that I'm hugely pregnant. And back pain too. As long as the cramps are regular and timeable, I'm not worried about it. For me it's more like general achiness. The third trimester sucks.

I have had that moment too! I feel a little silly saying this, but one morning when I was still half asleep baby flipped in my belly and I had a moment omg what was that?! Then I was awake and remembered that I am pregnant

As far as the cramps, I have been having contractions and at first I just hought they were cramps but they had a rise and fall to them. My OB said contractions can feel a bit different for each person but I described them as pain building in intensity, peaking and then descending which he said is a classic description of a contraction. I expected the contraction to affect my whole belly (uterine area) but it didn't start out that way. Mine was only down low. They put the contraction monitor up high and didn't pick anything up. When told them I felt it down low, a contraction was picked up as soon as they placed the monitor. I think cramps are common, but if you have any doubt I would contact my doc. I almost didn't call mine. When he had me come in, they found I was having contractions and they found the reason was placenta previa. I am now on bed rest. If you don't mind me asking, why are you on bed rest?

I get it a lot and I think it's because she moves so often. I didn't get cramps or have BH's with my first two, but I think maybe because this is my third my uterus is "grumpy" and everything seems to aggravate it. I have full on contractions for about an hour if I have sex. You're probably getting cramps for the same reasons, this is your second pregnancy and your body is just warming up earlier for the real deal.

Thanks ladies! Glad to know I'm not alone in this

I am currently on bed rest due to starting to dilate early at 32 weeks. I was only 1 cm, but with all the contractions I had been having since week 18 the OB wanted to be cautious.
