    Does the cramping come and go? Try having something to drink and resting for awhile. It is common to feel some contractions towards the end. Most often they are Braxton Hicks contractions, or warm up contractions. If they continue and get closer together, give your midwife or doctor a call.

    If they only come now and then, do your best to relax through them. Be sure that you are having enough to drink as being a bit dehydrate can cause more contractions. Elevate your feet as often as possible to help with the swelling.
