32 weeks waves of period like cramps

[jadesh101]

I have had this a few times, but not thought nothing of it.

Last night baby moved none stop for like 3 hours and caused a lot of hip, down top of right leg, back and bump period like cramp pains.

And again this morning, she has moved but not alot but still keep getting waves of like period pains over bump hips top of right leg and back.

What do you suppose this might be

I had this on Thursday and I went to the doc and got checked. He said it was just BH. He said to move around as much as possible, meaning don't sit for too long of a period of time, nor stand too long. Also to increase my water intake. He also said that sometimes if baby moves to certain positions, it can irritate the uterus.

Hope this helps.

I've had these a few times as well... not recently, but there was a day or so I would have a few a day... period like cramping, but pretty light. Then I had a couple days where I had Braxton Hicks (where my tummy felt super tight and hard)... but those went away as well... from what my OB has told me, it's your body "practicing" for labor... it can start pretty early on in the 3rd tri. Just varies per woman.

If, however, it's constant or really strong or painful, you might want to call your doctor for reassurance. Sounds similar to what I've experienced though hun
