Can cramps in your groin be contractions?
Cramps in the groin can sometimes be mistaken for contractions, especially if they are occurring in a rhythmic pattern and increasing in intensity. However, contractions in labor typically start in the lower back and radiate to the front of the abdomen, whereas groin cramps may be more localized. It's important to monitor the frequency and intensity of the cramps and consult a healthcare provider if you suspect they may be contractions.

How can you tell the difference between menstrual cramps and pregnancy cramps?
Just speaking from experience. You shouldn't have pregnanacy cramps?? When I was miscarring I had severe cramping but that was later on the preganancy. Do you have spotting or bleeding? If so, contact your doctor right away! Have you miised you scheduled period? Menstrual cramps feel similar to inital labor pains, but of course the labor pains become much more intense. Good luck to you. THE REAL ANSWER RIGHT HERE!!!!!! yes...you should have cramping during pregnancy because your uterus is making way for the baby. yeah you can have misscarrage cramps but c'mon, everyone knows about implantation cramps.....

The baby probably isn't ready yet. Where I went to the hospital if you were 5cm dialated they would keep you and induce labor. you can be zero dilated and be in labor. As soon as your muscles start contracting you are in labor and have pains.

Labor pains are exactly the same as menstrual cramps, so you may be going into labor.Unfortunately they may die away and come back later, it is very frustrating. If they are getting frequent and regular see your labor provider.You have probaly had your babe by now, good luck.
Are stomach pains while pregnant the same as period pains?
Contractions feel like menstrual cramps. If you're pregnant and feel like you have menstrual cramps, call your doctor or go to the hospital. I have 4 children myself. There is no better way to describe the onset of labor than it feels like you are getting ready to start your period.

It depends on the woman, and the stage of labor. In my case they felt similar to that aching feeling you get when you smash a finger or toe, but in my abdomen and very extreme. Others say it feels like bad menstrual cramps.
Should you go to the hospital if you are 38 weeks pregnant and feel menstrual cramps?
Call your obstetrician's office first, unless they provided other parameters in advance. They will likely want to know what the timing is between cramps and they will advise you about when to head to the hospital. Labor doesn't always start with the water breaking. For me, labor lasted only 6 hours and the doctor had to break the water both times.
Do worse cramps cause worse labor pains?
It is hard to measure the relationship of cramps to labor pains since both can be very intense and vary from woman to woman.
