I will be 40 weeks on 11/16. I have been experiencing period like cramps for for the past week. Tonight my cramps are pretty bad but they come and go. I also had a bout of diarrhea tonight. I have no bleeding and the baby has been pretty active. Also my last appoint I measured 37 weeks, but my appointment before that I was measuring right on dot. My midwife said this could be because I am dropping. Anyways, any suggestion as to what's going on? Is this labor or preparing my body for labor?
