Over the past 3 days I have been having light period type pains, I haven't though anything of it as they have had no real consistency to them and I assumed it would just be stretching like the rest of my stomach has been! BUT last night I was getting the period type pains again but it was happening approx every 5 mins and was quite painful.. even when I got up and walked around it didn't seem to make it go away. Each time it happened it only lasted for approx 10 secs. This went on for an hour...
Not sure if this could just be stretching still or if it could have been a bit a pre labour or something of the sort?!?! I hope it's just stretching! I didn't call the hospital as it went away... I have had a bit more pain this morning but only mild with no consistency to the pains.
What do you all think?? Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated
Hi Danielle,
I would definately keep an eye on it. I had similiar type pain, with lower back ache on and off for a couple of days prior to going into early labour at 32 weeks. Luckily, we managed to stop labour with some meds and bed rest.
So I'm definately not saying that you will go into early labour (hope not), but I'd just keep and eye on it, if the pain doesn't go away (like it had yesterday), get worse and speed up I'd definately call the hospital, just incase, it's better to have a false alarm than an early labour
Oh and another thing, alot of women get this sort of pain when their bodies start to prepare themselves for labour, so as long as it doesn't progress into anything further, it's a good sign that your body is doing what it is surpose too.
Period like pains....???
