Yes!! I get period cramps and I get Braxton Hicks. But they are not the same at all. BH are definitely a tightening sensation that takes my breath away and makes it hard to walk. The cramping feels exactly like period cramps. I have been getting them both for over a month. I’m 35 1/2 weeks.
Cramps sound like pelvic girdle pain, I’ve had it since 12 weeks!!
