I'm almost 34 weeks. Starting the night before last while I was sleeping I have been having what feels just like mild period cramps. I'm still able to function fine and go about my day, it's like those nagging menstrual cramps that start right before your period before the bad ones kick in.
I don't believe I've ever had any contractions, Braxton Hicks or otherwise as there is not a distinguishable beginning and end to these cramps over the past 30 hours or so that I've been feeling them. They don't end when I rest. I am plenty hydrated as well.
From what I've read on Dr. Google it could be a sign or early labor or it could be uterine stretching or something fairly normal like that. I'm hesitant to call my ob office because my Dr. is on vacation and the only Dr. in the practice, I have an appointment Monday and don't want the office to tell me to go get checked at the hospital unless I really need to so I was kind of just planning to take it easy and keep hydrating and just call if I feel any different or if they intensify.
Have you ever experienced this?

Dr. Isn't concerned, I'm 35 weeks tomorrow. just making sure to keep staying hydrated of course. He said to call the office if I have any other signs of labor
