period-like cramps

[AriannasMama]

So I am due in 5 days and have been getting period like cramping for over 2 weeks now, all it did was get me dilated to a 1, but I am fully effaced(& I have read effacement is a better indication of labor than dilation, which makes me feel better).

For anyone who has already given birth, how long did you have cramps for before they turned into real contractions?

37-41+2

Good luck Girly!

Aw, lol. I hope she comes soon. I don't have another appointment until I am 40+2 so hopefully she comes before then, doctors seem too quick to jump to an induction.

I had cramps from 40+2 at 3.5cm till I got my morphine.

^^ haha, they are never-ending cramps, they last pretty much all day long.
