cramps

Ok so I am 35 weeks 3 days and for the last 2 weeks I have been getting horrible cramps on and off nothing consistent and always in the same spot right under my belly like when you get a cramp from running type felling.. Just pass it off as Braxton hicks.
Well for the past hour I keep getting this very painful cramp but its on the opposite side of the normal cramps ive been getting and its more on the side and further up ( kind of where his feet normally are).
Are these Braxton hicks too or something else?? I have been drinking water all day so I don't think that's it.

Re: cramps

im not sure what you are feeling, but my doctor said that if i get more then 4 braxton hicks in an hour (despite rest and hydration) to call them up

cant hurt to call your OB

Re: cramps

def call your dr... this happened to me when I was 34 weeks and after my dr visit they sent me to the hospital due to pre-term contractions. after 2 hours on the IV the contractions stopped and everything was fine but I was glad I got checked out. better to be safe! good luck

Can you time them? Or is a consistent cramping? If they are time-able and painful enough that they stop you in your tracks then I would call your doctor. Never hurts to call.

Re: cramps

I had them when i was pregnant with #2 for a few weeks. They would wake me up at night. Once or twice i got up wondering if i should wake my husband. For me, they were just BH's.

It wasn't until i got the period cramping along with it that it was real.

Better safe than sorry. Call your OB and ask just in case.

Thanks ladies. They seem to have gone away now so hopefully it stays like that.. Maybe it was just the way he was laying...
