Help, period cramps at 37 weeks!

cc8
Ladies should I head to the hospital to see if these are contractions? I've had mild to moderate cramps mainly on my lower right for about 30 minutes straight. They haven't come and gone, they have been constant...has anyone felt this and know what it could be? Thanks in advance.

Very possible its just braxton hicks
(Peekaboo contractions) which is just your cervix getting ready for the actual contractions and delivery they are very very common your third trimester..labor contractions usually arent constant they will be a come and go thing and each can last a certain amount of time go away and come back but may get closer and also the labor contractions wont just be on one side..at least they were for me youd feel it in your whole lower region. . but if this your first pregnancy and it scares you a bit..nothing wrong with getting into the er just to make sure :) hope all goes well
