The past couple of days i've had terrible cramps, like the ones you have during your period but I also feel them in my lower back too!! I'm due tomorrow (Sept. 15th) and hope this may mean something is starting! I don't think i've had braxton hicks or contractions, but I also have no idea what they feel like.. Any ideas??
readytobaby-I been getting the menstrual cramps in the front and the back too. No matter how strong they are they need to be regular in order to make the cervix get bigger. (That's what my doc told me--) if you're really worried, why don't you check in with doc? (;
All those cramps and pains are helping your body be ready. It could mean the start of something more substantial, but that could mean tomorrow or a week from now. But I know you hear this all the time, but YOU WILL KNOW the real thing. They hurt like nothing else. And it's hard to really understand I think until it actually happens to you. That's how I was with my first. I'm now 38 wks with my 2nd waiting for that serious pain to happen...
Thanks for the advice... Nothing seemed to come of those cramps anyways, I guess just wishful thinking. At my appt wednesday I was 2cm dialated and the doc said I had thinned out. Today is the due date, hopefully something will happen soon!
