Im experiencing menstrual cramps like today every 5 to 10 mnts.and the urge to bowel but nothing comes out.am i laboring already?39 weeks today
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Term pregnancy: Menstrual like cramps every 5 to 10 minutes may be early labor. Time the "cramps" if they get more painful and last longer, call your doctor. You are at term and that's the most common time for labor to occur!
