Is this normal?

Question

I’m 32weeks and 3days I’ve been having really bad cramps/ tightening in my stomach and having dull cramps in lower back. They started last night around 10 pm. They come and go but I have not timed them. I also I have diarrhea. Is this something I should be considered about? Should I contact my doctor?

Answer

I'm in the same boat I'm currently 32 weeks 4 days and feel the same as you.

Answer

Could be Braxton Hicks contractions! I’ve heard they can start pretty earlier. Could also just be cramping because of the diarrhea but it NEVER hurts to call your doctor. That’s what they’re paid the big bucks for.

Answer

This happened to me the other day. I drank a BUNCH of water and relaxed with my feet up and it seemed to help. If you have diarrhea that could be causing your discomfort though too.

Answer

Sounds normal and like Braxton Hicks

Answer

Start timing them, it sounds like it could be preterm labor. Braxton Hicks don’t often come with the back pain and diarrhea. Always worth it to call your OB and get checked out!

Answer

If it’s accompanied with pain then you should call the doctor to make sure your not in preterm labor
