Pain and pressure :(

[smiley_one]

I am 23 weeks pregnant and I have been getting stomach cramps, I assumed they was just my bowels because I have been a little irregular. This morning I woke up with this god awful pain that I could barely withstand and I went to the bathroom and was in there for over an hour trying to have a bowel movement, I eventually did, but threw up a lot. I didn't have much on my stomach it was painful too. Then about an hour later I had to go to the bathroom and went with little pain. I have had an achy cramping pain in my lower abdomine all day and it goes away for a little bit then comes back. Now I am getting a pressure. not in my vagina, but more around the Clitoral area, but it feels like something is pushing down on it, and I mean full force pushing down. I also have been having a yellowish discharge. I did a little research on that and it said it could be a UTI so I called the doctor and I can't go in until Friday. Does anyone have idea about the pressure?

When in doubt you can always go to hospital and they will ship you right up to L&D to get checked. I would be worried about preterm labor, especially with pain and pressure. Could be contractions. They can check all this out and would prob do an exam to make sure you're not dilated.... Better to be safe, even if it is just a uti :)

Same here. This is my first so I have no idea what is normal or what's not. I just know it doesn't hurt when I sit completely still in a certain way. If I stand it hurts and feels like everything is going to fall out of me :( or if I sit wrong it hurts :( I can't get enough to drink either. I'm always thirsty.

I am 20 weeks and have had some bad stomach pains and have a funky discharge with a little odor but wasnt sure. I know it may be bacterial infection. I question whether to go to the er from time to time. This is my first pregnancy. I would say go to the er... Sometimes even when I have cotton panties on ive had a weird feeling so I tried to shower, chug water(i know you will pee more) it might help and put on something loose and comfy maybe that will help. If nothing helps and it feels worse you should go to the er. Im new to some of these crazy pregnancy symptoms but it might work. I hope im not a moron for saying any of that.

That's what my friend said. She said I could be having false labor, but it seems way too early for that, but then she said it could also be something more serious. The pressure was moved from the clitoral area to, what felt like, the inside of the birth canal.
