3rd Trimester

Cramping anyone else had this?

Im 36w1d & a first time mom Since 11:30 lastnight Ive had cramping going on, the pain even went to my butt, I also have a inner leg pain. Its constant not like a BH at all. On a scale from 1-10(10 being really bad) I would say its a 2. I called the nurse line she said not to worry, but if it gets worse come in.

Anyone else had this?

  • Are they timeable?  If they are timeable it could be early labor. 

     I've had cramping but never timeable.  My Dr. said not to really worry as long as there is no bleeding or discharge with it. 

    My Dr. told me to watch for cramping that is timeable and that you stomach tightness with it.  She said these are labor signs.

  • I have period like cramps almost all the time now... have for about a week or so... however there are times that they are timeable those are real contractions... The other is good... body is prepping but nothing to be concerned about.

  • I've had very similar pains and still haven't gone into full labor and am only 2 centimeters dilated - so I'm not sure if those were actual contractions, but they were super uncomfortable. So I guess I have no insight to offer except that I have had similar pains.

  • I would say it is probably the baby pressing on some nerves. If you have tightening and cramping over your whole stomach, then I'd be more concerned.

  • I had some cramping last week, still a bit this week. I assumed it was normal but it just felt like something wasn't right. I called the nurse line and told her about the cramping and she said its normal and I said, I have heard that but something just doesn't feel right. So she had me come into the office that day-Turns out it was a bladder infection! I have had bladder infections before  but usually it's not just cramping. Its usually the classic UTI signs which I had none of, just bad cramps!

    I was told by my dr that a lot of pregnant women will get bladder infections and it's not like a normal UTI and usually just causes abdominal cramping and discomfort. Since taking the antibiotics for a few days I have felt better and have more energy!

    I would recommend at least bringing it up to your OB. Better safe then sorry!

    Happy mommy to a sweet baby boy! CafeMom Tickers
