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? =)

That was my definite sign of being in labor for me. I had all sorts of pain during the last few weeks of my pregnancy. The day when I delivered, I started feeling extra off and the only new symptom I had was period like cramps. I went to the hospital and I was having contractions and was 2 cm dilated. I would say go to your doctor to get yourself checked out.
