Sounds very uncomfortable I cramped a lot with my first as well if you haven't lost your mucus plug try a warm bath if the cramping gets worse when you stand up and walk around or (if your up when they happen) and you sit down call your doc... my friend had what she called cramps went in to the doc and was fully effaced and dilated to a 5 labor is different for everyone so if they don't get better call your doc.

They can be normal. Can you tell where they are? Are they like menstrual cramps or more like abdominal muscle cramps? Are they regular or are they kind of all over? Do they happen when you get up or move?

They are quite likely normal, but you should call and ask your doctor. I was going to say you could wait for your next appointment, but I really think you should at least get a call in to your doctor's office. It's definitely better to play it safe here.

Here's hoping it's nothing.
