Cramping During Pregnancy

if you are worried, always call the doctor- never can be too cautious, but i think your fine :)

Hey Keller! I have been having the same thing since just about the same time. I think that my cramping started around 26 wks and has never really let up. If you are worried, I agree with Caryn, give the doc a call but I think that it is very normal. Good luck to you!

Thanks so much girls! I think I am gonna give my doctor a call. Just because I am a worry wart and want to let her know about it just in case! I'll keep you posted! Thanks!

Keller my maternity book says try drinking some water..the cramping could be a sign that you are not getting enough fluids..and that may help..but i would call the doc and see what they say..but try drinking a glass of water and wait an hour and see what happens..i am sure it is nothing sweetie..take care

Thanks Summer! I didnt even know you changed your name! I'm like who is Famera Twins?! Thanks so much for your help! I calledmy doctor and I'm going in at 9:35 this morning. The nurse said it may be a bladder infection. I swear I have had more damn infections during this pregnany than I have the past 5 years! I'm just hoping I'm not going into labor or anything! I'll keep you posted with what they say. Thanks!

Yeah Keller i changed it..LOL..I just thought that it was cute...I hope that everythingis ok..When i was first preggo i had some bad cramping and I had a UTI also so that could be it..and when i finished the medication it went away..can't really tell if it was just early pregnancy cramping or form the UTI..because the cramping stopped and i finished the meds around week 7 so i am not sure..but anyways..keep us posted and i am sure that it will turn out great..Good luck..

Yes drinking water can help. Maybe it's jsut braxton hicks. If it doesn't let up call the doc. You never can be too careful and we don't want anything doign wrong. Please take care and keep us posted.

Thanks girls! I went to the doctor this morning. She did an internal and tested me for a few different things. My cervix is very high, thick and closed, yay! And they hooked me up to a monitor for about a half hour to see if I was having contractions and I wasnt and the baby was moving around like crazy. She said it could be a UTI, bladder infection, yeast infection and she also did some test where they check to see if you will go into labor soon? I forgot what it's called. She told me to rest today and to drink at least a gallon of fluids because I could also be dehydrated. Which I know I am not drinking enough water at all! She said I can drink juice, milk or water but pop doesnt count! So I think I will just lay low today!

Also, I'm 27w1d today but I am measuring 28 weeks. Is it a big deal if I am measuring a little bigger? Does that mean anything?

Keller I am glad to hear that..It sounds very good and promising..it does not matter if you are measuring a little bigger than what you are in weeks..I think tha tis just an estimatin anyways..saying that what you are measuring should equal your gestational age..i think it is just a tool that they use to make sure that you are growing right..Take care and drink lits of water..

That's great Keller! Make sure you drink that water too! I let myself go a little bit and didn't drink water as much.....cramps and overall felt sick. So be careful. About measuring bigger. Not a problem. It's very common to measure bigger for a little bit and then level out. Your little one just may be in a growth spurt. This happened to me for a little while. Take care!
