Normal or should I contact my OB now?

Hey guys, just wanted your opinion before  decide to call the emergency OB line if I need to..for the past 30 min to an hour I've been having discomfort on my left side of the belly and back (left side only) I feel the babies move fine. Now the discomfort on the lower left of belly has subsided but the feeling on the back is still there. Today I was on my feet all afternoon cause I took my daughter to a fall festival and was walking around for 2 and a half hours the most, with a bottle of water in my hand and I made an effort to eat something there as well even if i wasnt hungry. Anyhow, when I got home I took a 2 hr nap and these discomforts did not come until after an hour after I woke up, which was at around 8pm. Im not having contractions but just an colicky feeling on my lower back only. Have this happen to you guys or should I call doctor?

  • I would say call.  Better to be safe then sorry.  After 20 weeks you can go to labor and delivery for any concerns too.

  • Thanks ladies, they just called me back. Pretty much they said bc it's twins the extra weight is taking a toll on my belly back especially since i'm only 20 weeks but measuring 31 weeks! They did give me a heads up if pain gets bad and unberable and/or I start spotting/bleeding or notice any fluids to go to hospital. How far along are you guys and what are you measuring out of curiosity?

  • Call the doctor. 

    Keep us posted.

     

    edit:  I see you already called. Take it easy and drink lots of water. 

  • To me it sounded like you were having growing pains.  Take it easy and stay off of your feet as much as possible.

     Also I'm not measuring anything since my babies are outside babies.  I always measured 8 to 10 weeks ahead when I was pregnant. 

  • At my 21 week appt. I was measuring 24 weeks, but I feel like I am unusually small for twins.  Not sure what I was measuring at my 25 week appt. as she actually did not measure my uterus for some reason.  I can see why you would be feeling very uncomfortable being that you are measuring 31 weeks. Take it easy and relax some.

  • I saw that you already called the Dr. -- but I also had similar pains and it ended up being round ligament pain / growing pains.  It got pretty intense, and I got to the point where I felt like I was going to vomit and faint.  Like you, I had been up on my feet all day.  After laying down and taking it easy, I felt much better.  Hope you are doing better.
