Ouch ouch ouch ouch! I feel like my period is about to arrive any minute. I don't miss those cramps.

Ugh, I know that feeling for sure.
The other day I was convinced it was gonna arrive any minute.
You know, at this stage they are probably contractions that just feel like period cramps.

"Many mothers describe contractions that occur in early labor as similar to menstrual cramps, or as severe gas pains, which may be confused with flu symptoms or intestinal disorders."

Hmm.. very interesting. If that's the case then I really don't mind them. Hah!
That is pretty much how they feel exactly.

Thanks!

I've been having period like cramps on and off and people keep telling me they're braxton hicks (cause I'm only 32 weeks).

Did they feel like that for you too?

my braxton hicks contractions dont hurt my tummy just goes really tight and hard, i have been getting some period pains in the past few days but not really painful ones so i dont think they are anything yet

My contractions feel like I'm gonna have a severe case of the runs mixed with period cramps and some tightening. Nothing like the BH!

hum dnt think i have even had 1 contraction of any sort yet, just regular braxton hicks. im hoping all of a sudden i may just go into labour and suprise myself as ive had no signs yet!! frustrating

I never have any pain associated with BH. Belly just tightens and that is about it.

Hope this is the start for you gold!!!

I've been having menstrual cramps on and off, also. I agree, that I really don't miss those cramps at all!
