contractions or gas?

[beautifulbritty712]

Hi I am only 31 weeks tomorrow and i have been having like cramping and i do not know if i am having contractions or gas pain? i feel like i need to go to the bathroom but i can't when i had my last nonstress test there were small bumps on the contraction line but i didnt feel most of them and the dr would not see me after the test. i feel like i get crampy for a few minutes then it goes away but i dont think my stomach is getting harder it always feels hard. i would really appreciate any advice my next test is tomorrow at 10am so should i just wait until then?

Yeah if they came.back.when you went to the park you're.probably dehydrated for.sure and your body's just stressing out.

thank you i have been trying to take it easy they went away for a while but came back when i took my neice to play at the park i will see what the dr says tomorrow im just so scared of having her too early!

Yes this is all normal. The small cramps are small Braxton Hicks. Also could be dehydrated a little. Try drinking a couple glasses of water and just lay down, try to nap.maybe. See if it helps.

I have also been feeling some pressure down there today not constant but sometimes when i stand up is that normal?
