I'm Currently Feeling:  |  I feel like AF is about to start????
All morning I've been getting AF cramps. I've had them on several occasions over the past month or so but not as bad as today. They're really painful just like I used to get right before AF was going to start which is obviously not very likely now! It's very low down  <<I'm being a wimp! I don't think it's BH because my belly isn't very hard (well no more than usual with lumps of baby sticking out).
Does anyone else get this? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I had the exact same thing the other day.
Hot water bottle and tylenol helped me.
Horrible feeling. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Yeah Ive been getting them a few times a day for the past couple of weeks. So bad that they've made me cry. It's the same sort of cramps as AF but a LOT stronger. I mentioned it to my MW and she didn't seem too concerned.
Paracetamol takes the edge off. Doesn't really explain what it is though hun, sorry

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Could be the uterus preparing itself for when you go into labour, you don't nesacarily go hard when having a braxton hicks. If they become regular, more than four obvious cramps each hour, or if you have any bleeding, go straight to th docs  |
