I have had belly pain/cramping/bh for about two hours now. I have tried taking a bath and now I am laying down drinking water. Its starting to hurt. I do have some gas too. I am not sure what I should do at this point. I don't wantto go to l & d unless its nessecary. Any ideas or similar pains?

    sounds like BH.

    Is the cramping timeable? if not BH. If you continue to have them for long periods of time even if they are not truly timeable I would call L&D and they will go over a list with you and if you answer so many with YES then they will have you come in. lay down on your left side and drink super cold water.

    I feel the same tonight. I've had tons of water and lying down helped a little. Still having several BH an hour but they've slowed down and are less painful. Just waiting it out since I have an appointment in the morning anyway.

    I had some yesterday.  Drinking water helped....I'm talking 2 huge glasses (we use the 32. oz subway cups).

    I didn't have cramps, just tightening of my belly and discomfort.

    I called my friend who's had 3 kids and she ssaid she knew it was real contractions when it felt like her period and like she had to poop.

    If the BH are time-able and do not go away or reduce with changing of position(shower, laying down, pacing) and drinking water over an hour I would call the OB.  Chances are they will want to have you checked.  As for the gas, it could be what is causing the BH or your body preparing for labor (evacuation)...so I would tell your doctor that, too!  Good luck!

    Thanks ladies. I am thinking bh but they are really hurting. They are timeable but not consistant. They are anywhere from 7 to 4 mins apart and lasting from 45 secs to a minute 45. A few of them have spread to my back. I am going to try and finish my water and see how they do. I also feel the need to poop but nothing but gas. Sorry tmi :(

    keep us updated! I just woke up with a wicked BH that felt REALLY period-y and strong. Let us know!
