menstrual-like cramps = BH?

jensahokie · April 2009

I have been having cramping for about the last 7 hours. It doesn't change if I move or drink water or lay down. It is lower cramping like I am having my period. I called L&D and they told me to time them. Except it is pretty continuous. So these are probably little BHs, right? I also feel nauseated, but it is hot here and our AC is broken until tomorrow.

I had my 24 week appt yesterday and they said my cervix was nice and closed - when they had the speculum in looking at my 7th yeast infection.

So should I just try to sleep and see how I am doing tomorrow?

Do you have to poo?

Have you chugged an obsene amount of water? More than you'd normally do, especially since it's hot.

Try a hot shower or bath, and some more water if you can.

Your uterus may be irritated from your infection, causing some cramping. Or it could be unrelated. There's really no way to tell for sure if they're BH or not unless we know if your cervix is changing. I'd just do exactly what the L&D folks tell you to do... they handle a ton of these phone calls a night.

I don't believe I need to go to the bathroom... hmm. I have had a 32 oz bottle of water, a 16.9 oz bottle of propel, and THREE 16.9 oz bottles of water today along with a fountain diet dr. pepper with lunch and about 12 oz of milk early this am.

I am not sure how to time this because it is pretty continuous. If my cervix was "nice and closed" yesterday, it's probably fine today, right? It could be the yeast infection.
