Having cramps once you're past 37 weeks may mean you're in the early stages of labour. At this stage your pregnancy has reached term, so the cramps are a normal part of your body gearing up to give birth.
cramps usually occur 2 to 3 days before your actual period starts. Some women don't even experience cramping at all while others have it really bad (the good thing about having bad cramps mean that you will have an easier child birth when delivering your children). It usually stops two days into your period so it should go away if you do have your period coming up.
