no bh or anything just this constant mild cramping in my lower abdomen it just doesn't go away it has been almost 2 hours... I am at work and just sitting here.. the advice nurse doesn't open up for another 10 minutes...

maybe something's going on with your cervix...

in my birthing classes they said menstral cramps can be labor and you not have the BH like contractions

girl! that's what i felt a week ago!... no tightening, nothing... just the horrible menstrual cramps... and by the end of the day i could barely walk!... turned out my colitis was acting up... also i was dehydrated and just 'irritated' like they called it... when you over do yourself... but not having contractions... Maddie was active and playing and kicking, and they hooked me for an hour to those monitors... took a pee test and sent me right back home! lol

But! you don't wanna ignore any pain girlie, why don't you try again in a little bit to talk to your doc, or just plain and simple drive yourself to the hospital (L&D)...?? you're never too safe and you shouldn't ignore it...

Let me know how it goes!!!! =)

mel, i was feeling that for about 30 minutes this morning, along with some BH. after i ate breakfast and drank a ton of water, it's all gone... for now. kind of intense for a few minutes.

okay so don't laugh with this...are you wearing the low-waist-band maternity pants that hit right across the pelvis area? Those seem to bring on the cramps for me right away and they're not even tight. If I stand up, walk around a bit then it goes away. I also get those if I'm feeling especially "tooty". But if that doesn't clear it for you, this could be "the start" for you. Let us know!!!

well I went poo this morning haha... and I have drank 30oz of water so far... I called and she was like hmmm not constipated.. nope, not UTI nope... hmmm doesn't sound like labor.. because that comes in waves

she is going to send a note to my dr and they will call back.. I am at work.. it is not like pain pain just a constant pressure.. could it be baby dropping???  ahhh I don't know

[vsentz]

that could be too!!! i know Maddie drops or moves 'down there' and it feels just like that...

[melimeli]

ok crampy feeling kinda went away... wonder what it was.. I hope after lunch Parissa gets active so I can relax!

I've been having these same cramps lately..I'd really like to know what's causing it.  When I went to the OB Tuesday, she told me that I was already 1.5 cm dilated..maybe the cervix changing is causing these menstrual type cramps..?
