Hi mamas,
I'm 37w3d and this week have had regular periods where I just feel like crap for a few hours :(. It's that same feeling I used to get right before I'd get my period... I'm having menstrual-like cramps, my body is achy, I get a headache, I'm really moody, I feel like I'm going to have diarrhea, etc. Without the cramps, I'd think I was just coming down with an illness but it never develops into anything. It seems to happen around lunchtime, lasts a few hours, gets a little better in the evening (evening is fun BH ctx time, yay :irked:). Eating seems to help a little bit, as does resting, but really time seems to be the factor.

Anyway, could this be some weird sign for labor gearing up? Anyone else experience this?

sounds like it to me!

Mmmm, very encouraging to me! I, too, had menstrual like cramps for several days before ds was born. It's weird to like cramps, huh? Good luck and hope your little one is on the way!
