Why am I getting period pain?

[joey123]

I am 36 weeks pregnant and I am getting very slight period pain. I haven't had any Braxton Hicks contractions, that I know of, and this doesn't feel like contractions, as I had them with my miscarriage. Instead this is a very dull period pain. Any ideas? Thanks
