preterm labor or normal pg pains?

cm215204 · December 2009

So I've been trying to ignore this and tell myself it's normal, but I've had a lot of lower back pains lately for longer than I normally do. I also have had a few period-like cramps each day. The back pains are dull and not overwhelming, same with the cramps, and there's no pattern to them.

But I can't find anything that says period-like cramps are normal, everything I read says they're a sign of preterm labor so I can't keep myself from worrying.

It could be BH... but I would call the Dr. if they don't seem to get better soon.

Sounds like BH, but I'd call the doctor to be sure, especially if they are happening more frequently.

I've been having those for a few weeks but if they get worse or timeable I would definitely call your doctor. Otherwise it's probably ok to just mention it at your next appt if that's relatively soon.

I'd probably mention it at your next appt.

I went in for those pains a few weeks ago. They told me that I'm probably having BH that I can't feel, and it's making those muscles sore from the work out. I'd mention it at your next appt...

Also, you are getting to the point where you're really going to start to grow... so stretching and muscle fatigue/pain is going to become more constant.

Thanks ladies! Definitely not timeable and they've lessened. I'll mention it at my appointment next week.
