Hello moms, I work 9-10 hours a day on my feet (which hasnt been a problem at all because i can sit if i needed to) and the past couple of days (i am just 35 weeks pregnant today) i have been getting these cramps when i stand...as if i am going to get my period cramps- are those a form of braxtons..cause i dont feel my stomach "tightening"... I usually only get these "cramps" when i walk around and they go from my stomach down to my thighs area...what is that?

I am almost 35 weeks and have been having them also, but since they go away, I keep assuming they are Braxton Hicks. But since you're on your feet so much, it could be the real thing. Good for you to have so much enengy to work that much!! Better get checked just to be sure, I bet you are staring to dialate!! Good Luck.

If they come and go every few minutes, then it may be early labor. If they come and go every ten to fifteen minutes, then you don't have them for a while (thirty minutes to an hour or more), they are called "Braxton Hicks contractions." These are the "false labor" contractions. Your body can start experiencing these contraction pains s early as 32 weeks in your pregnancy.
If it's consistently painful, I'd talk to your doctor about it.

sounds like it may be contractions. when this happens, i would definetely sit down and rest. i would also time them, even though they may be irregular. it is possible for you to go into labor already even though you are only 35 weeks. you need to start taking it easy, very easy. make sure you get lots of rest. also, let your boss know what is going on just in case. this sounds normal though. the baby is starting to move down and get into position. good luck!

It could be the baby turning to get ready to be born. Or contractions. 35 weeks is almost full term. Good luck!

If I were you, I would call my dr. I am also 35 weeks today and having braxton hicks.
