Should I be concerned??

Question

I'm wondering if I should be concerned about having cramping going on. I woke up in a lot of pain, but it has calmed down a bit. But it's still a pretty mild cramping more than I'm used too when I had periods. I'm only 24 weeks and 1 day.

Any advice would help.

Answer

It could be something mild like your uterus is stretching to make room for the baby or muscles are cramping due to growth of the baby, I'm not sure Braxton contractions show up at 24w but maybe it's possible. But as always, if it becomes a concern always call your doctor just to be on the safer side(:

Answer

Call your doc just in case, you don't want to be in preterm labor!! But drink lots of water and by a lot a mean 100+ oz of water. I went in at week 29 because of this and it was dehydration... I never thought this could happen. I got an IV was observed and then sent home, I was dehydrated and that was causing my contractions.

Answer

I had Braxton Hicks at 20 weeks that I thought was cramping, I went in and they eased my mind a lot. ❤

Answer

That far along with that bad of cramping could be bad,  not saying it is.  It could he braxton Hicks or something else.  I'd call your doctor just to ask what they think :)
