FTM menstrual type pains, also in my back.

I'm a FTM and I'm going to try to explain this best I can . BTW my name is Amber, I'm 36 and 27W 1D.. last week I was relic hunting and i had a little bit of annoyong pain, like menstrual and it got worse in my right side and in my back. I just thought I pulled something,  went home and put feet up.  We'll last night I was having the same annoying pains and it got real bad, almost made me double over for about 5-7 mins.also baby didn't move much yesterday. He's kickboxing today though

Like pp said it could be Braxton hicks contractions, dehydration and it could also be a uti. Did you get checked out?

Usually menstrual like pains could be contractions. They could also be braxton-hicks. Those feel different for everyone and for some they're painful. It could just be that you were a bit too physically active and possibly a bit dehydrated. If you ever have cramping that lasts longer than 20 minutes or if you get 4 or more episodes of cramping in an hour definitely contact your doctor. Be sure to stay well hydrated and do exactly what you did, putting your feet up and resting, if it happens again.
