How do you know if it’s the laboring process starting?
I’m only 30 weeks but these past few weeks I’ve been more and more anxious about giving birth prematurely and now I have like period cramps but that are stronger and longer than what they were used to be
Does labor pain and contractions feel like period cramps and they intensify or is it a different kind of pain? I just don’t know what to expect or what to worry about, what should I be monitoring or what is normal just because of baby growth and everything else with it

For me at least contractions were so painful I couldn’t talk or walk there was a big difference but around 30 weeks I started to feel pains and I wasn’t even close to giving birth

My labour felt like diarrhoea cramps and gradually increased in intensity with most of the pain focused in my back. I had a few period like cramps throughout pregnancy, although always super mild. The day before I gave birth I also got horrible sciatic pain in my bum and back that made it hard to sit still.

I laughed way to hard on the first part 😂😂😂😂 thank you for the following explanations 🤍🤍
