Cramps/Pain whilst walking!!

[kyles84]

Hey
I am 31 weeks pregnant with second child and lately i have been going for some walks with pram just around neighbourhood for about 20 to 30 mins. Everytime i have, my stomach has tightened or cramped and i have got like a period like pain whilst walking and then a little after i get back. It eases once i sit down.
Is this normal?
Has/does this happen to anyone else?
What can i do to avoid it?
Thanks

sounds like braxton hicks. If the pain doesn't go away after you have rested from your walk then I would call the dr or caregiver. But you say it goes away after resting so I would not worry too much. not sure if there is much you can do to avoid besides not exercising. I had this from about 26weeks with Ds2 and thought I was in premature labour (we had gone on a really long walk). But after resting everything was fine. I would take it easy.
