period crampy in lower uterus with pressure

edited April 2011 in Third Trimester
I'm 33 weeks and 2 days with my 4th baby. The last week I have been having lots of period cramps in my lower uterus, with some mild pressure. Some times the pressure is bad. My Dr said everything is fine, but wanted to know if anyone else is or has experienced this. Thanks

  • I'm 37 weeks and have been experiencing the same thing for the past week. I was hoping it was the start of labour but it doesn't seem to be. I don't see my midwife for another week so maybe she'll give me some info then.

  • im 39 weeks 2 days. ive been havin the same thing. hopefully it means that ill show progress tomorrow at my dr appt and our little girl will be here this weekend.
  • Im 34w & 4days ive been experiencing the same kind of pains. My doc said its normal its just prepating me for labor contractions :/
  • Whenever I have had that discomfort, I wind up contracting and at the hospital cuz they come 3 to 5 minutes apart, are very strong, and labor/deliver end up stopping my labor. Each time I have went, my cervix has dialated 1 cm, meaning I am now at a 3+. This has happened 3 times since the 10th and now that I am 37 weeks, if it happens again, they won't stop her from coming hallelujea lol.
  • I'm 26 weeks and I just came back from the hospital because the same thing..it hurt so bad I had diarrhea...apparently I need more water. The pressure thing for me is because hes so breeched..
  • i have been experiencing this quite a bit lately I'm 33 weeks. it feels like I'm about to start my period, and the cramps attention in my lower abdomen and pelvis. another new sensation is I've been feeling this bad burning allll over my stomach, in my muscles. its like i just did a bunch of sit ups. its my abs (like i have any anymore lol)
