A member asked:
Im 38 w on sat, and i've been having braxton hicks contractions but their in my back. now im cramping like im on my period. is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like it: These are normal complaints we hear as women approach their due dates. When the contractions are painful and five minutes apart for at least an hour it is time to be seen in labor and delivery.
