I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow and I have been having period like cramps for the past 4 days. They get really strong at points and sometimes I can't even move. At my appointment Friday I was only 1cm dilated and baby was still high. I don't know what this is but I have to take a bath to soothe them... and I can barely sleep cause of them
I have the same exact problem, I'm 38 weeks, I've asked doc said its just my body preparing myself, but it's so uncomfortable!
my midwife says its probably helping make some progress but not enough for labor.
