Crazy Not Feeling the Greatest- Some TMI

So over the course of the last two weeks, I was diagnosed with gestational hypertension. So my doctor sees me weekly and we do weekly NSTs and she’s constantly checking for any and all signs of preterm labor and preeclampsia. For the last 2-3 days, my bowels have been super loose and I’ve been combating that with Gatorade and water due to losing so many electrolytes. The night before last, I was frustrated and I knew my BP was up so I was trying to relax but I had constant back pain that was wrapping around the front. Once I calmed down, I was okay.

Yesterday, baby was super active and everything was good with the exception of the loose bowels until about 9pm. I started to get cramping in my abdomen and my back. Not constant. So one of my biggest worries is that I’m going to push off labor as cramping until the contractions are noticeably contractions. So I said if I still felt them this morning, I would call today just as a heads up because I am supposed to call her for anything pretty much. I just struggle because I feel silly for calling her all of the time (I haven’t but at times I’m supposed to). The cramping is still kind of there (it is 4:30am) but I can’t tell if it is a gastro issue or something else.
