On and Off Cramping on my Left Side

I know it' really early in the morning, but I've been up all night with this.  I'm having some pretty intense cramping on my left side.  It comes and goes and gets agitated when I move around.  I'm not sure if it's gas, although it doesn't feel like it at all, but has anyone experienced this?

  • It could possibly be round ligament pain?   However, if you truly are having it almost constant it could be something else.  I think if it continues, you should be seen.  Sorry, I'm not much help.

    Ditto the p.p. about drinking a lot of water. Dehydration can cause cramping. I haven't heard of that "butt in the air trick" but that sounds good to try. I had continuous cramping and ended up going to L&D. I also have an irritable uterus and am on watch for PTL. They were glad I came in, so if your cramps don't stop then call your doctor at the very least.
  • I called my doctor Friday night because of this same thing and she told me to drink ALOT ALOT ALOT of water!!!
  • Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.  It seems as though sitting up helps to relieve it for a while, but not completely.  I will most definitely try these techniques and drink some water to see if it helps.  Hopefully it'll be gone by this evening, or else a phone call will be made.
