Period pains

I don’t mean to scare you but thats exactly what it felt like when I was in labour with my first! Started very occasionally at 32+6 and then got stronger and more common…the midwifes kept telling me it’s just Braxton hicks so I thought my pain threshold must be super low…well when he started crowning that’s when they took me seriously and told me hey so actually you’re in labour 😅 boy was born 33+1 So yeah not to scare you or anything but it felt like weak period cramps for first 47 hours and then strong period like cramps for about 5 hours and then it felt like I had the worst food poisoning of my life or something whilst on period 🙈😂😂

Thanks for letting me know 🙈 I’ve also got a stitch in my right side but not sure if that’s related or not 🤦🏻‍♀️

Following this post because I’ve been feeling the same things. Any info would be great! I had them bad in the night I had a bad dream about it all. Hope you’re okay and the midwife can help! Mine don’t feel like Brixton hicks but as you say, period pains as such.

Following as Iv also been experiencing this at 30 weeks 😅

I've also been feeling light period-like cramps, also at 30 weeks. But it's strange that the pain is limited to the area where my uterus used to be when it was smaller. It's not spread across my entire bump. What about you?

I was woken up in the night by the pain on Thursday night and it was radiating down my leg, but otherwise they’ve been mainly concentrated around my uterus area. I’ve felt what I thought was Braxton hicks for a few weeks which is more of a tightening feeling right? This is definitely more like period pains

I’ve been getting the same, especially this evening I’m 31 weeks pregnant with my second and i don’t remember braxton hicks being like this last time

Iv being having this for last few nights, it's being waking me up

I’m experiencing the same thing I’m 30weeks pregnant

Came on here to see if anyone else has this! I’m 30+2 and started having very mild light cramps (since yesterday) basically where I used to get period pains. So it looks like, from reading these comments, it might be a common thing at 30 weeks - perhaps a growth spurt or baby starting to turn head-down?! At least we’re all in the same boat!
