in early labor?

[Nov2010Momma]

i am 36 weeks pregnant now and today i have had a headache all day.
this evening i started getting cramps that feel a lot like period cramps, they are mostly in my lower belly area and down through the tops of my thighs and they are off and on.
i am now starting to feel a little nauseous but its not too bad.
my doctor said if i go into labor now that he won't stop it because LO has been growing perfectly and there are no concerns with it.
any thoughts? are these early labor symptoms? anything to watch for?

It COULD be, but I have been having period like cramps for 3 weeks now, lol. Its different for everyone though. GL

no i haven't timed them. i guess i will start during the next time. but not noticably hard. i'm starting to get weird feelings 'down there' though

Ooh Kayla, I hope you're okay!
After 34 weeks they don't stop labor but I'm sure Lilly will be fine!
Just make sure you time them and do the "t test" on your tummy! Text me if you go into the hospital!

they seem really irregular right now. they have have 6-15 minutes apart lol. and what is the "t test" shannon?

I learned about it in my labor class.
So when you have a contraction you walk your fingers up your stomach and then you walk your fingers across your stomach making a "T". If you entire tummy is hard, then it's a real contraction.
