36 weeks with period type cramps??

[soootired]

Hi i am 36 weeks and the last two days i have period type cramps, worse when i move about and when i walk around i am feeling lots of pressure down there. feels a bit like shes gona fall out lol and is stopping me from doing anything.
Is this just normal for 36 weeks or does it mean things are getting going . 37 weeks on thursday?

Sorry cant really help. Im 37 weeks on wed and im getting the same. Will keep an eye on your replies.

I remember reading that menstrual type cramps can be a sign of early labour. Being that you're feeling pressure as well, it's possible that your body may be gearing up towards labour and delivery. it might be difficult to tell how soon, though. Maybe you should check with your doc?

I seem to get them combined with BH now. I'm sure it's just everything having a workout

I've been getting them for around a week/just over now- they seem to come more first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I'd read about it being a prelabour sign too and freaked myself out!

Time them for an hour and see if there's any pattern to them, if not, try not to worry. Am now sure that it's just the body gearing up and testing itself
