Should I Go To The Hospital?

Question

I’m 28 weeks and 2 days. I’ve been having period like cramps constantly with back pain and (TMI) having diarrhea. After I poo it hurts worse. No matter if I lay down stand up sit or ANYTHING it still hurts. It’s not super bad but still hurts. I don’t want to go to the hospital and them send me home if nothing is wrong. I just can’t tell if this is real contractions and if it will get worse or not? My mom said it’s normal to feel all this UNLESS I have the most excruciating pain to where I can’t walk and have hard time breathing than that’s something to worry about. Idk, I need opinions. Anybody been having this problem early?

Answer

Call l&d; and describe the symptoms you are having to them. They'll tell you if you should come in or not

Answer

Update: Everything is alright it was Braxton Hicks they said it can be painful but I wasn’t dilated. They said I’d know if it was real contractions but said it’s better to come when you think something is wrong just to be checked.

Answer

Just FYI, I get pregnancy induced IBS (I don’t normally have it).  It involves intense painful stomach/lower back cramps, cold sweats, slightly raised temp (99.5-100.2), nausea, gas, and spending a lot of time on the toilet.  It lasts several hours and the dehydration can cause braxton hicks on top of all that.  The first time it happened was in my second pregnancy, and I thought I was in labor.

Answer

It’s always worth a phone call. Better to be on the safe side.

Answer

I would at least call. If you go in and all is ok then at least you have peace of mind. What's the harm? I think waiting until the pain becomes excruciating could be leaving it a little too late, right?

Answer

I would call them
