Muscles stretching?

Hello ladies,

So I just turned 30 weeks today, and I've had menstrual like cramps for a couple of hours now. They are constant and not accompanied by BH's. If I wasn't pregnant, I would literally feel like I'm on my period right now bc it's a dull, constant ache in my lower back/abdomen, plus I just feel smurffy all around. Is this just my muscles stretching out down there? Just curious cause I didn't have this with my first pregnancy until I was in labor but this doesn't feel like contractions of course. I'm drinking a bunch of water to make sure it's not due to dehydration or anything.

Oh, and my ankles are already swollen as FACK!!! Ahhhh and so the miserableness begins haha!!

TIA!

I would call your OB just to be sure! Better to be safe than sorry  

I wouldn't bother OB . If all you have are cramps and no other symptoms I would jut assume its normal pregnancy aches and stuff... It's pretty normal towards the end

I have a constant ache started when I was about 28 weeks its normal.

Yea I wasn't worried about calling my OB because I know it's not contractions! Thanks girls
