Feeling a little crampy

I have had no sleep. I went to bed at about 3am last night. I noticed that Lo started moving a lot when he's normally very calm at 4ish. Then 5ish came rolling around and my tummy is cramping really bad. I don't get period cramps so to me it feels like really bad upset tummy and constipation and the cramps are low and in my back. I have pooped a couple times but I still cramp!!!!!! What the heck is going on? I had an appointment yesterday and had not dilated or anything so I'm confused. I'm timing the suckers but they are irregular.

Re: Feeling a little crampy

  • I feel your pain.  I finally got out of bed at 5am because my back was hurting and it was coming in waves.  I tried a bunch of different positions to get comfortable, but the pain still kept coming.  So I got up and went downstairs to sit on the couch and watch some tv (which DH woke up shortly after realizing I wasn't in bed and came looking for me - this has happened two days in a row and I feel bad for getting him up when he normally gets up at 6 to get ready for work).

    Of course, the waves of pain stopped.  I still have a dull ache, but the waves have stopped.  I was thinking it was the start of something.

    I had an appt yesterday, too, but I was only 1 cm dilated, 80% effaced with an anterior cervix - not that any of it means anything.  I'm 39w2d...so hopefully something happens soon!

    I hope you start feeling better soon!

  • Maybe it was the full moon! haha Last night I actually got woken up by cramping/BH, enough where it made me take notice.  I was sort of expecting them to turn into actual contractions because it was definitely worse than my normal period style cramping, but I only had 2 more BH after that, spaced out a bit, and each one was less than the one before it. :/ I'm hoping it's a sign for this weekend, at least!
