Preterm labor???

Question

I’m 23 weeks and I’m having some weird symptoms. 
•Tons of pressure (feels like a bowling ball trying to come out) 
•Diarrhea 
•Feeling like I’m going to gush water 
•Feeling like someone is squeezing my ovaries off and on
Baby girl is kicking like crazy so I know she’s okay. Are these normal symptoms for 23 weeks or should I talk to my OB?

Answer

UPDATE: Potassium was very low which started causing the contractions. I’m okay now

Answer

Call anyway, especially if you’re contracting and or any major changes in discharge. You can never be too sure. Also make sure you’re hydrated and empty your bladder. These are all tips my doc gave me today. Also lay down and get off your feet too. Hope that helps!! Xx

Answer

I would call the doctor. Right now I’m fighting to keep my baby boy in as my cervix is shortening and having contractions constantly. So now I’m on more shots, and daily meds every 6 hours and moderated bed rest. So please please please call your doctor
