I am same way i am hospital now and i am 3cm and i feel cramps. So hurt!
I would think it would be contractions your feeling. Stripping your membranes shouldn't make you cramp. I keep being told beggining labor feels like major menstrual cramps
I'm home. The contractions seem to be getting stronger but not very close together. The dr said to call if they're 5 minutes apart for an hour so I'm waiting it out.
I hope it's contractions! I'm only 39+2 but because of baby's size they aren't letting me go much longer so I hope thus works. The dr said from the looks of everything I've been in early labor for around 24 hours now. I just thought it was cramps.
