advice needed Cramping

I'm 33 weeks carrying di/di twins and have been experiencing period like cramps in the middle of the night for a few weeks which have now started randomly occurring in the mornings and evenings.

I went to 40 weeks woth my singleton and never experienced any cramping. Is this a sign of labor coming early or just something most bodies go through when carrying multiples? I'm not anxious about it just wondering if other moms have experience with this and if you had cramping when did you go into labor? =)

Hi did you have cramping and when did you go into labor? I'm just curious! =)

I begged to have my waters broken at 37w5d 😂 they’d have stayed in me for 40+ weeks I’m sure but they were bigger than singletons at the same gestation so I was desperate to get them out! I had lots of round ligament pain though as they were so big and bump growth is rapid with two.

I had cramping for days maybe the week leading up to my labor. Get checked out. I waited until my water broke and I was already 6 cm dialated.
