Anyone else

I had period like cramps when I was around 30-32 weeks. Am now 34+3 and have been having them again but only when I lie on my right hand side. I’m putting it down to babies position as midwife didn’t seem too concerned when I mentioned it. If your unsure, contact triage or your midwife xx

It’s probably all normal. Cramps and pelvic pain and pain in general is all normal. Your body is relaxing and getting ready for when you have the baby. My pelvis started hurting at 25 weeks and the pain and cramps have just gotten worse

I went in to triage yesterday with reduced movement and cramps….the cramps were picked up on the monitor and they said at first look it’s looks like signs of early labour, but I wasn’t in enough pain for it to be so! I was told to monitor and if it got worse to go straight back, but they have stopped through the night and I’ve had nothing this morning. Best to go and get checked hun Xx

I went to triage with mild lower bump pains, a little bit of bleeding and reduced movements at 35 weeks. Some contractions on the monitor but baby absolutely fine. They said my cervix was still closed but very soft and expected that I would deliver in the next 1-2 weeks but baby would basically be term then anyway so they didn't seem too worried.
For other reasons I am being induced at 38 weeks anyway. Since then I have had the occasional crampy abdominal pain but only 2-3 times per day and waters havnt gone and baby is still moving fine. I am definitely more vigilant about pains/movements than I was before all this happened. (I'm 37 weeks now)
I would speak to your midwife or call triage if you are worried about your symptoms. Given you are early if they saw signs of early labour they would possibly give you steroid injections to help babies lungs mature and may do closer monitoring.
