It could Braxton hicks contractions but you should talk to your Dr. I started having contractions really bad if I am active at about 22weeks with this pregnancy and went to the hospital and found out I have a irritable uterus and have to be very careful with what I am doing.

When I went into early labor with my second pregnancy, it was around 32-33 weeks. I was about to eat a bowl of lucky charms. I took two bites and couldn't eat it. I noticed then my bowels wanted to run away! I was going #2 a lot even though there was barely any coming out by the time I finished going all those times. I never throw up, so once I started doing that, I knew something was up. I was getting light contractions. Went to l&d and turned out I was in early labor.

Hey ladies, for those of you who have given birth before, I'm wondering what early contractions can feel like. I'm currently 36+2 and for the past few days I've been getting this cramping feeling kind of like a menstrual cramp or gas pains. The cramps come and go but they aren't very close together. At first it would be like once or twice a day, but the past two days it seems they are gradually happening more often, like maybe once every hour or two.

t overly painful, i have a high tolerence to pain since ive been having gallbladder attacks throughout pregnancy which are VERY painful. The contractions are about 3-7 minutes apart and about 42-55 seconds each. I went to the DR monday night and they checked my cervix which was still intact and long. They said it could be the start of early labour and it could take hours/days/or even weeks.

I went to the hospital last night but I have t dilated any yet. The contractions were pretty frequent but they come in go as they please. Could this be signs of early labor?

) at least till 37 weeks.
