Cramping and pressure

Ok more questions.. my daughter is 21 weeks today and for about the last 3 days she has cramping and pressure when she stands.. it does seem to go away if she rest but upon standing it comes back.. any recommendations?  She was very little when became pregnant and is now 21 weeks and has only gained 13 pounds... thinking a lot of it has to do with two babies and a lot of growing going on inthere?  Did  anyone else have this?? I seem to constantly worry about her and these babies...Think we are going to call dr in am and see what he thinks.. just feel bad for her that she is so uncomfortable and having all these pains..

    I just wrote a post about this, but I do remember having the pressure start a long while back.  It got worse for me this last week.  I would definitely call the doctor about the cramping if it gets worse tonight.  I did have a few contractions in the middle of the night around 20 weeks, for which I went to L&D and they monitored me for a few hours. Everything turned out okay for me. 

    My doctor always told me to drink water and lay on my left side. This should help ease the cramping (or so I was told).  The pressure I had to get a maternity belt for, but it doesn't make the pressure part go away completely.  It just helps a bit. 

    I hope she feels better soon!

    She needs to call her OB right away. Mild cramping & pressure were the only 2 signs I could feel that ended up being PTL/irritable uterus. Hopefully nothing is happening to her cervix. The OB should check that out.
