What the heck?! :)

I get period like cramps almost every night for the past 3 nights. Its not like braxton hicks, totally different. Feels just like I'm on my period. They wake me up though. I lay on my side they come, I lay on my back and they come. I feel them in my back as well as my stomach. Is this some sort of labor pain? I'm almost 38 weeks. They're not really painful, just uncomfy and they come at random times anywhere from 5 to 10 mins apart but then when I get up they go away. I'm so confused! I go to my doctor tomorrow for a regular appt so I guess I'll mention it to him.

yeah mention it to him..it could be early signs of labour, as you are quite close to your due date
