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.
