When to go to Labor and Delivery

Question

So since this morning I have been having lower back pain and cramps. I work and have been on my feet from 7 this morning til 3:30. I didn’t get to finally sit down and rest til about 1:30. I drink 1 and a half 16.9 oz bottles of water. Felt a little fine when I had to go back to work a half hour later. I then got home around 4, showered, sat down and drank a whole bottle of water. I then took an hour nap and I’m still feeling a little crampy. Should I call my the on call nurse and talk to the on call doctor or should I just go straight to the hospital?? I’m 32 weeks and 5 days

Answer

That's not nearly enough water for one day either so first thing they're gonna say is to drink some water and lay down. 8-10 bottles is always what my doctor says, more if you're not feeling well. You should always go if you think something is wrong, but you should also try to make sure you're not going to get sent home over something simple and waste a bunch of time

Answer

I'd call and ask to see what they think. They usually ask for you to time the cramps. If its consistent and doesnt come and go they are unlikely contractions but always better to be safe so I'd call

Answer

Call the doctor. It’s likely you just over did it and need to slow down.
