Worth going to LDR to check?

This is my second child and I'm 29 weeks pregnant.  About a week and a half ago I had a bladder/UTI, and had to take antibiotics for it.  My problem is the cramping that came with the infection hasn't gone away.  If anything, it's gotten worse.  I'm having a combination of round ligament pain, really bad hip pain and really bad cramping, and it's almost constant.  Should I go in to my hospital to make sure nothing's wrong or wait until Monday and call my doctor?  I didn't have anything like this with my daughter so I have nothing to go off of in terms of normal for this point.  He seems to like being really low and she preferred higher up.

    If it were me, I would go to the hospital!

    I was having severe pain today and just read up on "Round Ligament Pain". How it was described was exactly what I was feeling. I've had them previously in this pregnancy but they felt a little different. Today they felt like how it is described on the websites. However, along with that pain I was having Braxton Hicks Contractions as well. After laying on the sofa for a few hours I am feeling better. If they come back I'll be calling my Dr just to make sure everything is alright. 

     

    Hope you feel better!

    Does your DR's office have someone on call or a 24 hour number?

    I would call your doctor's office and leave a message with the answering service so a doctor will call you back and you can explain what is going on.   You can also call L&D at the hospital and speak with the nurses.

    Infections can be a catalyst for pre-term labor, so I would call.

    I've gone to L&D once to be checked on and went into my doctor's office another time unexpectedly, both times for weird pains/cramping. What they've told me is that once I have pain and get checked for it and everything is fine, that becomes my baseline - any pain that is at the same level I don't call for, anything worse, I have to call. If yours is worse th what it was when you first went in then I would call.

    Went in, and got checked.  Happy healthy baby and I'm having pain from over exerting myself.  Apparently chasing a toddler isn't the light exercise that mothers are encouraged to do during pregnancy :)
