presure and period pain

[liss83]

hi there i am 38 weeks pregnant and last night after walking around the shops i started getting period pain feelings and also presure pain, that night i started getting what felt like tighting across my lower belly that came every 10-15 min. it wasnt painful just uncomfortable and once they passed ( they lasted about 30 sec each) the period pain and back ache stayed. i eventullay fell asleep to wake this morning and have only period pain and presure pain- this has been going on all day. i havent noticed any leakage or "show". could this be the start on pre labour. :eek:

It could be Braxton Hicks??

Although it could be a sign that bub is on the way.

Hope all goes well, Good Luck!

I'd definately say that is prelabour!! But, remember, it can come and go... or go on for a week or more! I was getting as you described, the next day I had a show, and the next day I went into labour (then a day later but was born)...

Not long to go!
