Cramps 25 weeks

[firstfreakout]

I'm 25+5 today and been having period like cramps that come and go for the last 15 minutes.


Last time this happened a few weeks ago it went on all night and felt like tight on and off cramping (similar to food poisoning cramps?) but I slept through it and woke up and the cramps were gone.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Is this worth going in to get checked for or just ride it out and see?

Baby has been super active for about 2 hours beforehand, moving a lot and kicking enough to see my stomach move - could this be the cause?

Sounds like it could be braxton hicks. But sounds pretty normal I had period like pains every morning

Just seen this, it sounds like Braxton Hicks chick. Totally normal and very uncomfortable!

It's been happening a little, but nothing too major. I'll mention it to the MW at my next appointment on 7th.
Glad to know it's not raising any red flags with anybody!

I thought BH was painless? I've been getting on and off period cramps for a few weeks thought was just the baby or growing pain lol. X

Nope, definitely not painless. The doctor that coined it was a man, 'nuff said

They can be uncomfortable, sore, take your breath away, make you warm, make you lightheaded, stop you in your tracks. They are not nice

You can also get period like pains and cramping where everything is stretching too. I've had bouts of period like cramps throughout my pregnancy. ."
