Constant period cramping with waves of stronger cramps and back pain for a hour in half now! What to do?

They were pretty consistent around 5 minutes apart however I forced myself to go to sleep and they stopped but still having mild ones

Sounds like contractions and since you’re 36 weeks they won’t stop your labor, how far apart are they? If they’re pretty close together I’d go to l&d and get checked out.

I know before you’re full term, if you have 6 painful ones in an hour you should either call your OB or L&D

Time them
