    Default On and Off Menstrual Cramps for days now.

    9 days to go til due date although I am measuring a week ahead apparantly
    Im confused. For 3 days now I have had awful on and off cramps, like menstrual period pains or those pains you get when first pregnant, they come and go and are quite strong, then they go ahead for hours and come back later
    Sometimes I have them for like 14 hours on and off. Very annoying and uncomfy - midwives said to call back if they get unbearable and I know what full blown labour feels like and it isnt this. This is more the early stage but it isnt following a pattern
    Any ideas?? Du think its a sign of the start of things?

    Well it is a change, so I would bet it is the beginning stages of labor. Hope she comes soon for you! Did you get all if your nesting done already?

    I would bet it is early gearing up labour.With BradleyI had something similar,not dead painful but like aching cramps,woke one morning to a big snotty show,went for a consultants apt and sweep and I was 2cm I think it was went into full blown labour that night.It may have been the sweep that helped it progress?! I would say definately your body gearing up for the real deal hun. Got out for a walk or have some saucy business with DH lol!!! Keith was away with the Navy so I walked lmao.

    Yes! It is your body preparing and getting ready, your cervix will be starting to thin out and dilate. I walked around dilated to 2-3cm for a couple of weeks with Finley. Every one of those cramps is doing something!

    Well keep being very active.The first things the Ob told me after my sweep was right go walk walk walk and a bit of sex for good measure and we will see you back soon lol!!

    As for the measuring big I did with all of mine.George I was always 2-3wks but I carried alot of water and he was always laid awkwardly
