37 weeks, very mild cramping & nausea

Last night, I woke up to go to the bathroom, and I noticed that I had very, very mild cramping for an hour or so. it didn't come and go, and my belly didn't get hard or feels tense. It was just a very dull consistent cramping, like period cramps. It went away after a bit and I felt fine and baby was moving throughout. Then this morning when was eating breakfast, I had some nausea. It passed within 10 minutes. Is this the start of my body prepping for labor...something else?

37 weeks, very mild cramping & nausea

everyone is different...but for me that was the start of early labor.
i woke up at 3am with mild cramps; they came and went all day (sometimes they would last for about 20 minutes but stop for 2+ hours). at 9pm that night i was in labor, timing my contractions and at 5:20am the next day (24 hours after the cramping started) dd was born

good luck
stay hydrated

I had some cramping and my dr told me it was mild contractions. Stay hydrated and put your feet up as much as possible.

Re: 37 weeks, very mild cramping & nausea

For me it usually meant my body was getting ready but for both I didn't go into labor till around 40 weeks. I was having mild contractions around 37-38 seen on monitor at doctors. I had a ton of Braxton hicks that where painful and pressure. Could mean baby is coming soon or you may still have some time left.
