For the past 2 days I’ve been having cramps in my lower belly. Every 15 min roughly. Idk if it’s gas, poop cramps, or contractions. I feel like I have to go (lots of pressure) but when I do it doesn’t ease the cramping. I’m 35+4 so it’s still a little early. Nothing helps the cramping. Not heating pads, ice, walking...

Texture, colour etc has not changed but noticed tonight my discharge is very sweet smelling.. I don’t feel very wet or had any gushes.

My LO is 15 months old and he typically sleeps very good but recently on occasion has been waking up screaming and it’s not his teething pain it’s like he’s screaming like we aren’t there to get him.. of course I go in and console him but could this be nightmares?
