  • does it feel like period cramps? are you getting any pains in your lower back?

    Could search for early labour, or false labour or could be wind?
  • it feels like period cramps sometimes, but worse.
    and yeah i get the back pains, but they aren't as bad as the stomach ache.
    it just feels like i have built up gas, or something.. but thats not it at all! it's not very pleasant.
  • Time them and see if they are coming regularly, sounds like it could be contractions! Let us know how you get on!

  • labour pains feel like period pains at first then get much worse , closer together and longer each time. sometimes you can feel sick, have diaahorea as well (body clearing out before labour) so watchout for these things, if it continues i would phone labour ward just to be sure.
  • does it feel like alot of pressure pulling on your belly?
    cuz thats what it feels like to me, bad cramps and pressure.
    haha i feel like a dork because i don't know what the pains are, but i guess i gotta learn some how!
    thx!
