Never had menses cramps before

Just curious…. My period has been very irregular. Could come 1 month after the last one or 2-4 months after. The longest was 4 months. I have never experienced menses cramps before so I’m not sure how it feels like. Are there anyone that is like me or am I just weird? Hahaha 😅 Am 38 weeks preggy now. I’ve read a lot of mummies saying that labour contractions could start out like menses cramps. But I’ve never experienced it before so I’m just clueless & waiting for any signs of labour to come. So far not yet……….

I wouldn't wanna lie abt contractions as I rather prepare u as a fellow mummy. It is rather very painful that's why alot of mummies will opt for epidural. If u have high threshold of pain, likely u would be able to handle it. Breathing techniques helps too. For me, I got menses cramps and it's quite painful but my first labour contractions got me at a surprise as the pain was indescribable. My second I was on gas but still almost black out, and now my 3rd, I hope to brace thru it again well. Oh and yes it starts of mild but do time ur contractions. U may wanna download the app and then if it gets rather close less ard 10mins apart u should be on ur way to the hospital. All the best momma.
