Menstrual cramping again!? Normal?

Question

26w. Second baby. I’ve started having menstrual like cramps the last day or two. More today that yesterday. I did sit in a classroom for 6 hours in a hard metal chair that killed my lower back and butt. Then drove an hour away to look at baby furniture and did a lot of walking. I knew I’d be sore but these menstrual like cramps (especially in my lower back) are really hurting tonight. Is this normal to still be experiencing these type cramping?

Answer

I was told by my doctor that cramps like these can happen and are normal, as long as they “come and go” and are not consistent. It’s just your uterus practising contractions apparently. You should call your doctor though if they become persistent and don’t go away.

Answer

I think some cramping is normal because of everything stretching and such. Sometimes my round ligament pain feels like I’m cramping but I’m pretty sure my OB told me to call the nurse line if I experienced period like cramping. It could also be that you’re dehydrated so I would increase your fluid intake as well.
