these are contractions. don't worry about them unless you have six or more in an hour or if you are having some bleeding. if so then you need to call your OB.

Probably tendons, probably braxon hicks, probably the stress of a growing uterus.
Pinched nerves, pulling muscles and ligaments, false labor.. pregnancy, especially at this point, it really unpleasant.
If theyre contractions they should go away when you lay down and drink a glass of water for a while. And you shouldnt have more than 6 in an hour. Those are signs or preterm labor.
However, since theyre low and feel like period pains, iam shooting more towards braxon hicks.

Possibly labor. If its cramps that make you catch your breathe and breathe through them - thats a contraction. Just keep track of them. If they are 5-7 mins apart for an hour and last for 30-60 seconds - I would be calling yuor OB or headed to the hospital as it's probably labor.
Try changing positions, lay on your left, drink some juice or walk around. If they stop, it was possibly just dehydration or braxton hicks. If they keep coming and are strong - sounds like labor.
Good luck :)

Could be you're dropping (the baby is engaging into the lower part of the pelvis). This can happen anytime now and labor could be soon or it could be weeks away still. The OB will know if baby has dropped at your next check. It can make the muscles feel crampy. Good luck!

Could be Braxton Hicks or could be ligaments stretching, most moms to be start getting all kinds of weird aches and pains around this time. It's probably something perfectly normal, but you should check with your doctor!

It could be labor pains or Braxton Hicks. Braxton hicks contractions will go away when you move around. They also will not increase in strength. If they get worse or don't go away when you move around, you could be going into labor. Good luck!

Could be Braxton Hicks contractions - but I wouldn't take any chances if I were you! Call your OB doc and ask him/her....maybe even the nurse could answer your question. Dont take a chance with your baby or yourself...that's why you have a doctor.

Sounds like it could be contractions. Start timing them. Try a warm bath if you're sure your water hasn't broken and you haven't lost your plug.
If they don't go away in an hour, call your doctor.

Braxton hicks contrations or REAL contrations..go see your doc asap, lay down and drink some water. If they DONT go away, or seem to have a pattern, like it hurts, then stops a little but comes back, then you really need to 911 your doc!!!
oh, AND DON'T drink tea. Tea has caffine in it!! caffine is bad for baby, and gets him excited! so please, no tea or anything like that. JUST DRINK WATER.
