So I'm 35 weeks ... Four days ago I started getting period like cramps. Nothing painful just that feeling you get and my mind was like hmm haven't felt this feeling in 9 months! Last night my back was really sore and at about 2:30am I woke up to go pee (obviously! That's what we do haha) and when I got back in bed I had really bad period like cramps , tightening (I've had Braxton hicks since week 26) and really bad back pain. It lasted all together for about two mins before it all subsided. Does that sound like a contraction? Obviously not active labor but meaning it could be on the way? Also for the moms who gave birth early, did you have a feeling you would go early?
