Pre Labor Signs?
Posted: 02-21-07 13:13pm

Over the past 4-5 days ive been having period like cramps and they seem to be increasing every day...

The first time, it was early in the morning and I was cramping for like an hour, and then it happened again for about an hour later that night. And every day the time increases... like ill be having tummy cramps for hour+ before they go away

Is this a sign i'll go into labor soon??

could be! we're both getting pretty close, eh? i get lots of random cramps, too. they start in my lower back & come around. they feel like really bad gas pains. & .it's hard to tell if it's gas or if i have to poo because i pretty much *constantly* have gas & constantly have to poo! but i have no trouble doing either, so .i'm guessing it's probably braxton hicks.

are you having any other signs or symptoms?

how many weeks are you again? i forget!

I am now 40+2 so I am over due!
Im just increasingly uncomfortable with these cramps, they are very noticeable and sometimes radiate towards my back, and sometimes to my legs-and when it goes to my legs its sooooooo uncomfortable. But they dont feel like any thing Ive felt before. They feel very much like a period cramp. My mom told me thats what she felt before her water broke with me. I hope I go into labor TODAY!

It sounds close to me. I had period cramping around my due date, but i went a week over and never fell into labor. It's probably close! How long will the dr. let you go before doing something?
