Hi Sue,

I've had on/off AF type cramping up until week 20 or so, then at almost 32 weeks (now) it is starting to come back. I normally get it if I move too fast or roll over in the bed funny, and the pain lasts for a few minutes, then goes away. Mostly I put it down to ligament stretching pains. I have heard that cramping in the 3rd trimester is common (even through the whole pg), but seek medical advice if you have any spotting/strong back pain that comes with it and if the pain gets worse.

Hope this helps, but don't worry too much hun. Try avoiding lifting anything too heavy, or move furniture etc. When I lift something too heavy I get the crampy feeling and my back is beyond sore!
