Should I call the doc?

Mrs.Froggianna

Today I worked out for an hour (weights) and then went to the grocery store (pushed a heavy cart w/Luke in it for ~45mins).  While I was standing in line to pay I started getting serious, semi sharp pains that went from under my belly (on the left side) down along my bikini line.  Before I could get our stuff into the car my back started hurting a tiny bit.  On the drive home I felt better but the belly/bikini pain was still there.

We gpt home and I scrambled to get the cold stuff put away and lunch for Luke.  I was still hurting (not so much the back anymore), but not anything I couldn't walk through.  Oh and I had BH off and on (not regularly) this whole time.  Maybe 3-4 in an hour.  After lunch I laid down on the couch while Luke played and felt better.  I had to get up to change his diaper and immediately had a BH.  Once he was down for his nap I took a shower (ew, I know) and had two BH within 10 minutes.  They didn't last long but they came closer together than I would've liked.

So do I call my doc?  Just rest on the couch this afternoon?  Normally I wouldn't sweat it too much but DH is (of course) OOT tonight.  I rarely felt BH with Luke, so this is a whole new ballgame for me.

I don't think I ever had BH that went down to my bikini line.  I never think it's a bad idea to call the doc and just chill on the couch if you're not feeling 100%.

Call the doc just to be on the safe side. Can't have too much of safe side, right?

Towards the end of my preg w/ DD I'd get pains similar to that and the  nurse would tell me to drink lots of water and stay off my feet (rest). Being that you had workedout and done a lot of walking at the store, could you be dehydrated? If you need ANYTHING I'm down the street. If need be I can leave DD in daycare until 5:30 and she goes to bed at 6:30. Call anytime! and good luck!

i got pretty bad cramps during my pg if i overdid it, but never had a single contraction so i'm not sure.... i guess i would call just to be sure. hope you're feeling better soon.

Sounds like you overdid it, momma. Wasn't this about the point last time your doc told you to CTFO and quit working out?

When I had what you're describing, I would just make sure to take it suuuper easy the rest of the evening, lay on the couch, and drink water. If you need help with L tonight, lemme know.

Thanks for the input y'all.  I decided to call, just to be safe, and the nurse said that I over did it.  She said to rest as much as I can and call if it doesn't get better.  Thankfully Luke should be down for a little while longer and he's a BIG fan of the Christmas shows that have been airing lately.  Looks like it's a night of pizza and lots of TV.  

Rssn & Aggie--thanks for the offers!  I'll give ya a buzz if it gets to be too much tonight.   DH is only in San Antonio, so if I really need him he can hit 35 and be here pretty quickly.

I was going to say to call to make sure.  I hope you feel better soon and I'm also available if you need help tonight.
