I think you might be closer than you think, too!<br /> I did get pains that felt like period cramps and my doctor said those were not BH (which I also got a ton of). She was firm that BH can be uncomfortable, but not painful. If they were painful, I was supposed to call to let them know because that was more towards the “real deal”. Of course, when I called and let them know, they said not to worry and only call back when they were less than 10 minutes apart for more than 1 hour, which never happened for me. So….? :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-so-crampy#post-644891 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 13:09:22 +0000 blackbird 644891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would be awesome! I guess I have low expectations because the doctor said I'm not even dilated a little! Literally a zero </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-so-crampy#post-644798 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:41:43 +0000 tysonja 644798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my contractions felt like menstrual cramps (bad ones), too -- maybe it is the beginning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-so-crampy#post-644785 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:39:16 +0000 blackbird 644785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Empathy works haha!</p> <p>They don't come in waves like I think a contraction would, it's just kind of there...constant.

Maybe you're closer than you think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-so-crampy#post-644736 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:27:47 +0000 aprk 644736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could have written this exactly!! I have no advice other than empathy ;)</p> <p>Let's hope we both have more progress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-so-crampy#post-644714 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:21:34 +0000 blackbird 644714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 38 weeks tomorrow and for a week, on and off, i've had these menstrual cramp type feelings. It really does feel like I'm going to start my period. I just feel so YUCK. Sometimes they come and go and sometimes, like today, I'm breaking out in a mild sweat because they're uncomfortable and have been going on for awhile. So they are progressively getting more noticeable. </p> <p>My doc said they're probably braxton-hicks because those feel like menstrual cramps. </p> <p>I know they're a good sign, but can i expect to have these for 2-3 more weeks? Ha, I hope not. </p> <p>Anybody else get a bunch of this at the end? </p>
