37 wks and crampy

HI :)

Visited doc yesterday who didn't check me for dilation yet. He said he will start that next week. Has anyone else felt crampy??? I have had a relatively low symptom pregnancy. No real big cramps or noticeable Braxton hicks. When I touch my stomach I will notice sometimes it is harder than others, usually after lifting or exercise.  In the beginning I did feel the occasional ligament stretch. That feeling is totally different than what I've been feeling in about the last week. It usually happens about 1-2 times in the evening. I'll get crampy, kind of feels like gas/period cramps. It usually goes away if I start moving around... or pass gas lol. So I'm wondering if this is truly just gas or if I'm having some baby (meaning small) contractions. Anyone else get crampy in their last few days/weeks? Not knowing exactly when she's coming is so hard!!! Tom Petty said Waiting is the Hardest Part. (that was Tom Petty right?)

    I'm 37 weeks and I'm feeling the same thing! It's my first real sign of labor or anything so I was a bit worried until I read this!

    I've been having them for almost 5 weeks now. If they feel like period cramps, they're more than likely contractions.

    I have been having them for a couple weeks too. I usually get them when I'm up doing stuff. Dr said they are contractions!

    Same here. 36 weeks and I feel like I'm having period cramps, especially after being particularly active or on my feet for awhile. I didn't think much of it but I'm guessing those are contractions?

    Yay! Maybe that means dilation and maybe that means baby soon!!!!
