cramps question

in 3rd Trimester

I'm having what feel like dull AF cramps. Same area too. Could this be because my intestinal blockage is low? Or could it be something else?

    I, too, have been experiencing AF like cramps since yesterday.  I am going to the doctor at 3 today, so I am planning on addressing it then.

    I would call your doctor. It could be that you have the blockage, but it also could be a sign of preterm labor. You would have to be checked to know for sure whats going on.

    I know you have been through some extreme measures, but have you tried increasing your intake of whole grain, fruits, water, and even drinking prune juice?...Has he suggested an enema?....Did you try drinking warm water, around the clock...?... I am just wondering what natural methods you have tried first?.. Or is it something else blocking you internal besides stool?

    Just an update... i have tried water, powerade, fruit, whole grains, apple juice, milk, magnesium citrate/saline laxative 10oz orally, 2 dulcolax suppositories and a fleet enema. i still can not go :(. Pretty sure it is just stool blockage, dont see what else it could be.

    ETA : I'm so blocked that (TMI!) the enema would barely even go in. i had to shove and it still would barely squeeze out any of the saline.

    I got blocked like this after last baby (not to where they threatened surgery though) and I had to do a mineral oil enema (to soften stool) before I did a saline enema before it would come out because it had gotten so hard and big it couldn't come out. I kept trying though because my mom is an E.R. nurse and told m if it gets bad they put on gloves and try to get it out manually. UGG!

    call your doctor. i was having this kind of cramping a week ago, my doc told me to drink 2 large glasses of water and lay on my side, if the cramping didn't go away i was to go to the hospital.

    i was extremely concerned about using one. But the doctor said as a last resort i could try JUST ONE and see if it made me go, but that had to be the last thing i tried. It did make me contract and have intense vaginal pressure but then it stopped. (TMI)! The liquid coming out around the blockage is black and tarry... i know this is dangerous... but i will be leaving for the doctors in less than 2 hours. I've tried hot beverages too. I've tried everything, and the pain is becomming unbearable, and im STARVING. I haven't had a meal since last tuesday night!
