Hi I am new to this. I am currently 36 +5 days and experiencing stretching/ period pains today. Baby is fine and wriggling around.

Has any body else experienced this. I spoke to my midwife about the stretching last week and she wasnt worried but didnt give any more information.

Thanks

Hiya. Yh I had period pains.....been having them for a few weeks now. At first midwife said it was practice contractions and I had the tightenings at the same time. They became more consistent and now I'm in early labour stages 38weeks today. However, I had them sorts of pains and things on and off from 25 weeksish and that is due to your uterus stretching and growing with the baby. All normal stuff

Hey, I was 36+ weeks with my first and I started getting tightening pains in my tummy like period type pains on the Tues and I didn't feel very well so stayed off work, had a midwife appointment on the Thurs and she examined my tummy and I was still getting the pains & tightenings and she told me they were actually contractions, I couldn't beleive it. I had him on the Friday morning. I did have a show the Saturday before but with it eing my first baby I didn't know what the hell it was so just asumed it was discharge.

Probably round ligament pain. Have a look at

I am 35 weeks and have had period pains for the last week or so. Midwife said it is because the baby is moving down in my pelvis, all normal x
