can you have cramping in between contractions? I am 2 cm. d. and 50% effaced, 2nd baby, 35.5 wks. along. I have been getting cramps that start up high and in my back then radiate through my entire abdomen area. Is this normal?? Is this the beginning of labor?? And when should i go to the hospital?? Please answer ASAP thank you
