Cramping

Constant cramping at 28 weeks for the past 3-4 days. Happening during some points during the day, then stopping, then starting back up for a couple of hours, then stopping again. I don't remember having these cramps at 28 weeks with my first though I've had many family and friends tell me they are Braxton hicks. Is thanks what they feel like? Like period cramps? No bleeding or anything crazy like that.

I have my doctors apt tomorrow and was going to ask then. And I still feel baby kicking around inside all the time!

Thanks!

    Could possibly be a uti? Or maybe you're just not getting enough water? Either way good luck. Hope it's nothing serious.

    Sounds like BH to me. I'm 38 weeks with my fourth, and have been having same cramps since about 25 weeks. Some stronger than others. Some days I don't have any, some days I have them all day. Usually you can feel braxton hicks more if its not your first pregnancy. But yes, check with your doc, as we are just strangers on a website.  ;;)

    I have the same, daily. They feel like period cramps but on steroids. And only last less than 30 seconds.

    I called my labor & delivery and they told me as long as the cramps aren't coming at a set time variable and don't last very long to not worry about it and to drink lots of water. I asked my doctor at my last visit what BH felt like and he said "like menstrual cramps on steroids". Which was my definition exactly haha. He said they're normal.
