40 weeks feeling menstrual like cramps

I've been feeling menstrual back cramps off and on all day long. Should I be worried? I'm scheduled to be induced in 2 days, I feel if im not in too much pain to just wait it out. Anyone felt this before? Never felt these cramps with my 1st!

    I'm 39+2 and just started feeling menstrual like cramps for the last 3 hours. Comes about every 5 minutes. Not sure if this is the real thing or what! :-S

    I just had my first baby on the 10th. For about a week leading up to it, I had menstrual-like cramps that came and went. From what I've read, they're pretty normal!

    I have had that menstrual crampy feeling on and off for the last two weeks. I keep thinking it must be me effacing because I am almost totally effaced but only 1cm dilated.

    I am 38 weeks 5 days and I have had this on and off for a couple of weeks. My midwife said that these are likely real contractions as opposed to Braxton Hicks but it is still sort of just warm up contractions. If they move higher or start to feel like they are coming and going regularly then that might be the real thing.

    If it is coming every 5 minutes I would be calling your provider

    I've had them since week 36. I'm 39 weeks tomorrow. Sooooo over false labour/practice contractions. I'll admit to getting my hopes up on more than one occasion because they were particularly more painful one day or consistent the next. So far though...no baby ;)

    Haven't slept a wink as I've been having "menstrual-like" cramping for the past 3 hours. No real pattern yet. Not crazy in intensity but I definitely feel them. Putting counter pressure on my lower back and breathing with a loose jaw helps with the pain/discomfort. Wondering if this is going anywhere today??? And ironically, today is my last day at work, lol

    I had the same type of cramps for about 24-36 hours before dd was born. They started out about one an hour and very mild and slowly became closer together but still mild. That was all I felt until I was in transition and my water had broke. After that she was here within an hour and a half. I'd call your provider and let them know. Mine told me to call them back when they were five minutes apart for an hour.
