I have been having cramping on and off every 5 to ten minutes for the last two hours...I am not sure if this is the early signs of labour or just pains. It seems to last about 30 seconds each time, anyone know what this could be?? PLEASE someone must have an answer for me!!

it could def be the very begining of labor. but thats not saying to go run to the hospital now. i would wait and see if it turns into more painful consistant contractions. with my last pregnancy my doc swept membranes and i also started having cramps a couple hours later. i cant say whether i was going into labor or not because she had me come in 3 hours after the apt to get induced, she just did the sweep to possibly help get things started. sometimes it puts women into labor and sometimes does nothing for them.

Walking is helping to kick begin your muscular tissues inflicting contractions. The major matters is to preserve cozy. You cannot loosen if you're annoying on clenching all of the muscle to your frame. Do your respiring plenty. Mind over topic, you'll do it! You too can check out a sizzling bathe it will aid to transport matters alongside and aid calm down you. I discovered it to be instead bloodless despite the fact that, i would now not get the water sizzling sufficient within the medical institution, lol. Like i mentioned earlier than keep cozy and do your respiring. Your frame will realize whilst the time is proper. it's going to be over earlier than you comprehend it. Congrats! Good good fortune and Good wellbeing to you and yours!

In true labor the pain tends to begin high in your abdomen, radiating throughout your entire abdomen and lower back, or visa versa, and literally will take your breath away, you wont be able to walk, talk, or sit comfortably through true labor.
Once you determine your in true labor, start timing your contractions, once they hit 4-5 mins apart consistently for an hour and are growing in intensity, and lasting 60-90 secs in length its time to head for L&D

yes i think it sounds like the beginning of labour. they will get stronger and last longer and will become more regular and then you will be in labour. congrats bubby isn't far away.
