Time contractions: and Call your Ob to discuss this symptom. this can most certainly be a sign of labor because contraction won’t always start out super painful at first and could feel like a cramp or menstrual cramp…so keep track of them.We have our fingers, toes, legs and eyes crossed so keep us posted! Congrats in advance !!!
