    peroid type sensation

    well i am probably just worrying about nothing as per usual. i have been getting these period type sensations in my lower belly more and more often of late. its not painful or crampy its just the feeling you get when your period is about a day or so away... kwim??
    i remember getting them during first pregnancy especially at the beginning but ic ant remember if i had then into the middle and towards 3rd tri which is when i am getting them now. i dont think they are BH's cause i know what they feel like and these sensations are more constant, they do tend to stop if i get up and walk around though. does anyone else experience this? i will probably mention it at next visit but just wanted to make sure it doesnt require a visit straight away.

    My obs would say to me that its just your uterus stretching and to sit and rest or have a warm bath or use a heat bag. I am getting the heavy period cramping now and have been for a few weeks now, but this is obvious and it feels like I am minutes away from AF arriving. But apparently its pre-labour which can last weeks. I really hope that you aren't feeling that this far along though!

    I have been getting the period type cramps for the last week too. They're not BH coz they feel different. Just feels like I have AF. It's a bit scary and I don't know what it is! Sorry, I'm no help!

    Yep ive been having the cramping as well...but for me in the last 2 pregnancies it signalled labour and my girls were born very soon after (with in a day or 2 max).....not the case this pregnancy yet though!

    probably just uterus stretching it feels like a dull ache. but if your really worried just ask your GP or Obs next time your see him/her.

    wierd, i got them again early this morning around the same time as yesterday morning. while lying in bed. been ok since i got up again. i dont think it is anything serious cause they have such a gap in between them but it is very wierd and i will mention it at next visit i think.
