34 weeks and strong period-like cramps?
Anyone in the 3rd tri getting this? Just this morning I started getting cramps that feel just like period cramps...It's not sharp, and it's constant (they don't come and go)...Normal, or something to call doctor about? 
Ugh, I just found this online...Does this mean I could be going into labor soon!? I wanted to go early, but all of a sudden I am thinking we don't have the carseat installed, we don't have the crib set up...Ahh!
"Mild menstrual like cramping with no other symptoms around week 34 or week 35 may indicate your body is getting ready for birth."

I had those at around 36 weeks, I wasnt sure either if I should call the doctor,I didn't and they went away--If you are worried, just call-it can't hurt to ask!!!

Call your ob... I just started feeling something like this over the weekend and I'm going for the ffn test b/c my dr. said it sounds like pre-term or false labor. I'm only 28 weeks so I'll be taking it easy for a few more weeks. I want to mention I didn't feel this steadily but on and off all weekend. Keep track and call the dr.

This started for me last week - my OB said they were braxton hicks and to keep watch over them. I would call to let them know

I've had these for the past 2 weeks and they seem to be getting stronger lately but no real timing to them so I figure its just strong bh. I have a dr. appt today so I'll let you know!

I'd call the doctor. I ended up being induced, but the contractions felt like strong period-like cramps. Hope everything is ok.
