Sounds like it.
I am 35 weeks tomorrow with baby #1. Been having menstrual like cramps in my lower back and lower belly/pelvic area. It started not last night, but the night before. Occasionally it gets painful and sharp pains spread up towards my belly button. When they aren't the sharp pains that go up higher, it's just a dull ache like the period cramps. But the cramps have been pretty constant for the past hour or so. I know I'm not in labor yet, but could this the beginning signs?
You may be in early labor. If they are just cramps but not strong then it's not time to go to the hospital. When the cramps are painful then you time them. When they are every 5 minutes for at least and hour and don't slow down with changing positions it's time to go in to be checked. Coming from a labor nurse of more than 5 years, this is what I'd tell a patient on the phone.
It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Contractions feel like really intense menstrual cramps. I'd rather give birth then have a tooth ache! It's worth every moment!
