HELP!
I am 20 weeks now and this morning I have been having lower abdominal and lower back cramping. It's not severe, but started this morning in my tummy and for the past hour has been almost constant. I was at my OB appt. yesterday and all is fine with baby, her heart rate was 150 which the doctor said was fine, and she is moving. What are the signs of pre-term labor? Should I be worried?
nurse called back and is gonna talk with the doctor and call me back...also the cramping part seems to be better, the pressure is still there
I agree w/ Anita. That sounds like contractions to me. I'd go to L&D right now. Please keep us posted.
I had lost a baby at 19 weeks an 5 days. Time the cramps. See if they get any closer. Mine did. I was in labor an didn't know until it was to late. I'll be praying for you. I would just go to the ER to be safe. The nurse could take hours to call back. Call back an tell them that you think that you may be having labor pains an you need to speak with the nurse NOW not later. She would get back to you faster.
still waiting on them to call back...at first it was just tiny cramping which i wasn't too worried about, then the dull back cramps which worried me a little, but now my stomach keeps feeling tight, kinda like when a bigger baby curls up inside.
I've had cramping and lower back pain often throughout my pregnancy, but it is always best to discuss it w/your doctor or a nurse on call. I hope that nurse calls you back asap!! I don't want to be too personal but have you tried using the bathroom?? Sometimes I swear I'm having labor pains or something, then I go to the restroom and feel better afterwards. Best wishes to you!
Keep us posted. I get cramping all the time, but I just thought it was normal. I am curious to see if it IS a sign.. Please update ASAP! Good luck!
call the doctor asap...thats what i was feeling and it turned out i was going into early labour....So call!!! and good luck
