almost there!! you could be experiencing a variety of things. your body is preparing for an amazing adventure. it can feel pinchy and crampy in many areas. also you could be having braxton hicks contractions. drink lots of fluid, try laying down. often times braxton hicks will subside when laying down or taking a shower. real contractions will intensify and become closer together.

I had bad period cramps when I first went I to labor. it's one of the many signs.
