Period-style cramps, boobs hurting and backaches

What is going on with my body today? I’m trying not to get my hopes up but is this early-ish labor? I woke up with period-like cramps and my boobs are killing me. The contractions I’ve had before this definitely didn’t feel like this. I’m assuming the backache is from the cramps and it feels like I have to poop but I haven’t. Due in just 11 days. I’m wondering if any of this is a sign labor could kick in soon? Any thoughts?

If it hasn't gone away after resting, just go in. Better to be safe than sorry

It sounds like your body might be gearing up for labor! The period-like cramps, sore boobs, backache, and feeling like you need to poop could be early signs that things are progressing. Since you're due in just 11 days, it's definitely possible that labor could kick in soon. Keep an eye on those signs and maybe start preparing for the big day! Exciting times ahead! 🤰🎉

@Shannon thanks! I took a nap and it seemed like everything went away so now I’m really sad and think my body was just tricking me. I got my hopes up, which I do a lot and wish I hadn’t because now I just feel down. I just want to meet her and be done with this ☹️

@Shawna I totally get where you're coming from. It can be so tough when you feel like things are progressing, only to have it settle down again. Pregnancy can be full of surprises and false alarms, which can be emotionally draining. It's okay to feel disappointed and eager to meet your little one. Hang in there, mama! Your baby will arrive when the time is right, and the wait will be worth it. Sending you positive vibes and virtual hugs! 💕🤗
