Period like pain???

[javalava]

Im 36 weeks and ive seen this written on the forum somewhere before but i dont remember where. Does anyone know what the period type pain is from? Its not cramping and i havent had any BH today but it seems to be coming on and off all day.

If anyone knows what causes it, i would be very grateful!

Have you been drinking raspberry leaf tea? Or taking the tablets? I have been taking the tablets for a couple of weeks, and have noticed every now and then I get a period-type pain. Others have said the same thing - I think maybe it's the cervix ripening and preparing itself. If you're really worried, you should give your midwife a call, there's no harm in getting it checked out and at least it will put your mind at ease. No need for extra stress right now hey!!! :thumbsup: Good luck!

Hi i agree with what was said. When i had my 2 my OB said it was the cerviw softening or ripening and your body preparing itself for labour. Best of luck the rest of your pg and your impending labour.

I've been taking raspberry leaf for a couple of weeks now (I'm 35 weeks) and I have also started to notice some dull period-type cramps. If it means things are getting ready so that the little munchkin can just slide on out of there, that's ok by me. :D
