31 weeks and cramps?

I know it's normal to cramp so I am not really complaining, except to say it does hurt some. I have had contractions and bh for a while and nothing has changed. This isn't at all like them just cramping in my lower cervix is all. I am just wondering what it is? Like is it the baby pushing down, or what else could it be? I am not worried because I know it's normal just curious  

Is it like 'lightening' ? I had that and it's like cramping with a flash of pain that runs through your cervix?

If not it's probably just the pressure from baby like you said
Congrats on your pregnancy btw

I mean it's getting worse then what it has been. It goes from my lowest part of my lower back around to my cervix and it's like cramps that last a little while and then they stop, and it's like bad bad bad period cramps but nothing I can't handle. I know it's not bh because my belly hasn't tightened all over just down in the lower part of my belly. And thank you   I just can't wait! Oh and sometimes when one of the cramps start it does feel like a shot of lightening and then the pain begins.

It's probably just the baby putting pressure on your pelvis and cervix... i'm no expert though just going on experience ha ha! I bet you are excited, you haven't got long to go now

I imagine that must be what it has to be. I would ask my doctor but he will just tell me it's normal instead of explaining it. So I may just wait it out. And I can't wait at all, I wish time would go a little faster buttttt I know that these last few weeks are going to be nice to have since I still have a few major things to buy  . Only 8 and 1/2 weeks!!! Oh it feels like a lifetime but then it feels like no time at all lol!

Ahh you have one of *those* doctors   I had one of them,,, totally not helpful !!!
Yeah I know what you mean, DD is 3 weeks and 4 days so I remember vividly what it was like to wait!
It does feel like ages but honestly once you start going into labour (or whichever way you are having your little one) you will just think for a second "holy cow, where did that go!?" haha

Aww well congrats   what's her name? And yesss I do I mean if I pester him he explains it in all medical terms and what not and I am just like uhhh okay I think I understand lmao. But I do also agree I know I will be like nooo not time already most likely lol. I just am ready to meet the little angel God let me and his daddy create   but at the same time he can bake as long as he'd like unless it's a day over 40 weeks jkjk  .

Thanks   She is called Lilly   Yeah I swear they do it on purpose, then say it all confusingly just to shut us up haha! What are you going to be calling your little one?
Yeah I was 41 + 1 when DD was born... it was soooo annoying being like "yes! the wait is over!" then having to wait over a week to have her

I mean I have told my doctor specifically if he isn't here by 40 weeks I want to be induced. I know sounds lame but I am just so afraid of how big he is going to be since his daddy was 12 pounds and I was 7, and I can already tell he is super duper tall! Yes I know how that would feel to being like yayyyy I don't have to wait no more   and then bam well smurf what in the world come on little baby come already lol. And aww that is a pretty name! Do you think you will ever want anymore kids?
