When is cramping not normal

Question

So Friday in the night I got up to pee and could barely walk the pressure was so bad the pressure eased the next day but I had period like cramps ,I’ve had them everyday now and each day they get worse along with the pressure on and off I’m thinking maybe baby grew a bit and my body’s expanding but when is cramping something to worry about ? I’ve been reading it’s normal and can be down too dehydration or could be preterm labour this is my second baby and I’m 30 weeks 3 days

Answer

Hi! I’m having this problem and have had this problem since 26 weeks. 
I had an ultrasound done that showed baby was VERY low and head down already causing the pressure and cramps.
I was told to drink lots of water and get into a pool or tub to help relieve some of the pressure. Also to sleep/relax on left side with a pillow between your legs to open your pelvis and ease the cramps. No lifting or excersize. 
I hope that helps .

Answer

I’ve only had round ligaments pains a few times in the first trimester, where it was just sharp stabbing pains on my right side, and once in my second trimester and they lasted 3 days and it felt like a pulled muscle with some stabby pains here n there. I also have days where i feel A LOT of pressure towards my vagina, because my boy likes to sit really low sometimes and likes to be head down & it’s super uncomfy. But if you’re having really painful cramping for multiple days, no matter what it’s important to go get checked out xo

Answer

Call your doctor and ask. Only they can accurately and safely tell you what’s normal or not. Especially if it could be preterm labor I’d call your doctor ASAP and if you don’t get a response right away call labor and delivery and ask.

Answer

It could be round ligament pain, which can feel like cramping. But if it's constant and/or getting worse each day I would definitely call, that's not normal at 30 weeks

Answer

You need to call your doctor ASAP and see what they want you to do to. If you are in labor they can try to stop it before it’s past the point of no return. Cramping and it getting worse or basically being constant isn’t really that normal at 30 weeks cuz your still pretty early.
