32 weeks and menstrual/ovulation type pain?

[Bella1002]

I don't know how else to describe what I'm feeling except to say that it reminds me of how I feel around my ovulation time AND my period time. Whenever I ovulate I get a dull pain on one side by my ovaries. I've been told that happens when the egg is released. AND whenever I get my period I go to the bathroom a lot (number two). Both of these things started today...

I'm sure it's normal and all that. Just wondering if anyone else is getting either of these symptoms in the third trimester?

Might be Braxton Hicks.

A warm bath might help.

I have actually had this since around 24 weeks. It did really scare me. It felt just like my period was about to start at any time. I've been assured it's just hormonal, since I don't show any signs of early labor, and well, here I still am!

I started getting those feelings right around 30 32 weeks also

i went in to OB ward at exactly 32 weeks with the same complaint. Basically, got told that as the weight increases in your uterus it starts spasming, like.... ur leg might if u do to much with it. And it causes that kind of pain.

If it's worrying you, go in check though.

Had braxton hicks on and off since about 24 weeks. But the period type pains have started in last 2-3. I honestly forgot at one point I was pregnant and honestly thought my period was going to come!

It's all stretching down there and babies are getting less and less space to move with every week that goes by, so it's bound to be uncomfortable!

It actually woke me up last night out of dead sleep because it was so bad. It woke me up at 12:30, 4:30, 6:30. Each time the intense pain lasted about 15 minutes, and then went back to a dull ache. During one of the intense pain periods I thought I was going to be sick it hurt so bad. Then, I almost threw up in the car this morning and I haven't thrown up in a long time.

It just scares me that it can hurt THIS much just to have ligaments stretching and growing.... If small things like this hurt this much, I really am scared for how bad labor is going to feel. Omgosh !
