period-type cramps at 27wks

[gigglysheep]

Hi guys,

I'm having period type cramps for most of the day and have been for the last 2 days. Anyone else had similar?

I had something similar and was told it's round ligament pain. Is it worse when you move (eg when you stand up?). Definitely think it's worth getting checked out.

its like a constant pressure and then cramps. Like it would be the day before and the first day of your period. I think I'll be phoning midwife

I'm getting the same right now at 29weeks :/ a bit uncomfortable, but I'm taking it easy today xx

yeah, its very uncomfortable. Its reassuring to know that I'm not on my own on this but I am sorry u are having it rough as well. I'll be having bathtime later me thinks xx

Same here actually, lucky for me I work from home so can take a bit of time out to relax. I think perhaps I've been doing a little too much lately, forgetting my new limits. Hope you feel better soon xx

Mine just started a couple of hours ago. In my case I reckon it's Braxton Hicks (35 weeks pregnant) but I did have a series of low muscular pain earlier in my pregnancy. My midwife checked me over and told me it was just the way he was lying (breech) which was causing more muscle stretch but I would definitely have a chat to your midwife about it

I started having this and still getting now and 2day have had several times throughout the day. When I asked my midwife she said probably Braxton hicks. I've spoken to many people about it and they have all said the same. My baby is still moving around etc but if still worried maybe speak to midwife or ring. X

These seem different to the Braxton I had which was more like a tightening rather than the cramps. Maybe it is a progression? I'll ring tomorrow and see if it continues tonight

Thanks everyone x
