Ive had real bad cramps on and off (which I know is "normal"), but today I started getting cramps in my back - which Ive never had before. I am only 5 wks 5 days, so I know there is nothing they can do, but I am starting to get a little nervous. With my first I had bad cramps on one side and they did an U/S and everything was fine. Would you bother calling?
Re: Debating on calling Dr.. advice?
I was having the exact same thing. I was thinking that it was related to me getting pregnant again so soon.
I decided not to call. I probably would've called during one of my last pregnancies, but I know that there is nothing that they can do. If it was a pain on one side I would say call and have it checked, but otherwise there isn't much that can even been seen now, let alone done. FWIW my cramps pretty much went away around 7.5 - 8 weeks (for now).
The only reason I wold call is if it feels like it could be kidney pain. During my first pregnancy I had a kidney infection. I sucked it up and didn't call for almost a week. I had to be hospitalized because it had gotten so bad.
But if it just feels like general back pain...I probably wouldn't call.
Pregnancy Week by Week stuff.
Amen! Best advice!
i would call, its only a phone call, and this is part of what they get paid for, advice, monitoring etc. If it will make you feel at ease then do it...
good luck
