First time feeling a period type of pain or feeling of a contraction of some sort last night and today. The pain is irregular happens every so often. Does anyone know if this indeed called Braxton hicks? I’m 37 weeks right now and does it mean the baby is getting prepared for delivery? I give birth in 3 weeks

Braxton hicks should be a tight uncomfortable feeling, not like a period cramp feeling. I’d say you’re probably experiencing small contractions. I had the same thing and that’s what my OB said. It was confirmed when we did an NST test and everytime I got little period cramps, a contraction showed on the monitor. Baby could be getting prepared! But you could also still go over your due date too. It really depends :)

I've been having the same pain but was told it's Braxton Hicks contractions and due to my son irritating my scar tissue from my C-section I had 10yrs ago

Sore breast and pelvic cramping. I found out at 3 weeks so I was one week post ovulation when I noticed the symptoms could either be the onset of a period or I was pregnant. That’s when I got my first faint line

I went for my first ob appointment today after weeks of looking for a ob who takes my type of medical, so at my appointment I find out I'm not 14 weeks and 2 days like I thought I'm 19 weeks and 2 days apparently I got pregnant in early Feb and I had my period but I missed my period March 13th so I took a pregnancy test.

Okay, thank you because I was confused because I've never had a period while pregnant, I had a normal period on Feb 13th.

What type of excerises are good for early pregnancy. This my first pregnancy. I am constantly worried that my baby is growing ok whenever I feel a little bit of cramping pains but I think it's just my body moving around for the baby to grow

I’ve experienced this too! When I do heavier exercise I notice I cramp/have light spotting so I’ve backed off a bit. If you search on YouTube first trimester yoga or Pilates they have good, light impact pregnancy workouts!

Anyone lose their mucus plug around 36 weeks and have constant pain? I have period type cramps all day long but not labour contractions. Does this mean he’ll come soon

It’ll normally regenerate i wouldn’t be too worried until you start having strong constant contractions. Sounds like braxton hicks!

Unfortunately no. Your mucus plug can come out and regenerate. But usually if it’s the bloody show it might be near.

Does it feel tight? It could be Braxton hicks. I didn’t know they were that high up but they can be.

That’s pretty normal especially at full term. Baby is huge and our organs are all squished. The last month of my pregnancy I couldn’t eat much and everything always hurt😂 it’s just one of the many perks, but you’re at the homestretch. You won’t have to deal with it much longer:)

Took a pregnancy and it was negative. I’m assuming it’s because it’s too early my period is in 3 or 4 days.
