Cramping before my period

[miss-gracie.livejournal.com]

For the last few months I've been experiencing 'phantom' period pains - ie. I've been having cramps 3 or 4 days before my period begins. They last for a few minutes and occur a few times a day. They aren't as painful as my regular cramps, but they are uncomfortable.

I'm not really concerned about these, just wondering if other people experience something similar. :)

I got that for a while the day before my period, and the first day of. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

yep i get 'em, i mean got 'em, nope i mean get 'em.
(i'm pregnant & still having a bit of cramps. i'm told it's normal)
anyway: exercising the day before i thought the cramps would start helped them almost totally go away:)

exercise and drinking bucketloads of water seemed to help for me. sometimes I'll get the phantoms one or two days before, but usually no earlier.

I've been getting them for as long as I've had my period, up to a week beforehand. Exercise does help, but yeah - totally normal.
