Please help my anxiety...

So last week (Monday) I went to my doc because i wasn't sure if my sense of frequency/urgency (no burning or anything) with urination was normal with the twins, or a UTI. they did a urine test and put me on macrobid as a precaution. i contacted them thurs morning after 3 days of meds, and they told me that my urine didn't grow any bacteria (they said a little, but within "normal" amounts) and i could stop taking the macrobid.

fast forward to the weekend (by the way, i requested my records on friday and changed OB's to a better practice) and I did some light cleaning/mopping on saturday. i had some mild lower back pain, didn't think anything of it since i probably just overworked and also am carrying two babies! i've just been having a lot of cramps and random pains...especially at night, while in bed and in morning laying in bed. i had to prop my pillows up in twos the past couple nights and it was much more comfortable. but is this something i should be contacting my doc about? i feel like such a dork...i don't know what is normal or not. the pains were kind of on the sides, now they are more concentrated around the ovary/belly, lower pelvic area. slight cramping, little zings now and then, and on/off lower back pain. nothing i can't handle, but i am so scared something is happening to these babies right now. can someone talk me off the ledge? sorry this is so long....(ps. no fever, chills, faintness, etc). TIA.

    My rule of thumb is that if you're worried enough to ask here then you're worried enough to call and be seen.  For what it's worth I had tons of random cramps at 16-20w.  But if you feel like something is wrong then don't ignore your intuition. I ignored mine until it was almost too late because I was worried the doctors would think I was annoying and silly.

    I've just had to learn that every ache, pain, discomfort, etc comes with the territory. This is my first pregnancy, and with twins so I am going into this blindly too. I have zapping pains, aching pains, back pains, hip pains, trouble sleeping, lots of those things but I know at this point in pregnancy they're from the babies growing, my body stretching. They too are nothing that are too bothersome and sometimes I only get them when I've been doing too much.

    I've had to learn that "worrying doesn't make anything better" and as much as I HATED hearing from Dr's "what will be will be and you can't change the outcome" it's realistic. Try to stay calm, don't agonize over every feeling your having. If the only thing that's going to make you feel better is a Dr telling you you're fine, then do it, just for your own peace of mind. :)

    Call your doc. You're paying a lot of their services and the signs of PTL are much, much different than the signs of term labor. Better to be safe than sorry!

    This is my philosophy! While I had tons of weird cramps and pain during second tri and it was okay, it isn't always and it is important to call your OB when you are worried. I called nearly every week during that time frame and they always told me I was doing the right thing by calling. As my OB always says, " You are having twins! Please call!"

    If you are worried or scared at all you should call your doctor immediately.  Do not pass go.  Do not ask Dr. Google. Do not ask random internet strangers.  CALL.  Answering your questions is part of what you pay them to do.
