Landed in OB triage on my lunch break.

Im 15 weeks with di/di twins. Two nights ago on my way home from work my stomach tightened up like crazy. Felt tight for a while so I put my feet up and hydrated (some more, I swear I drink more water than I've ever drank before) anyways I went to bed and still felt weird at work the next day (tight,crampy,back ache) Anyways I called my doc and he told me to go straight to ob triage. They tested -no bladderinfection/ uti, well hydrated, Cervix was high and firm and babies looked great. They decided it was probably constipation and told me to eat some prunes or increase my daily fiber and sent me on my way. So here's my question, I'm fairly certain I was experiencing a (few) contractions, did this happen to anyone else this early? It has me a little concerned...

  • I started having BH contractions at 16 weeks. It's normal.

  • I started having similar feelings around the same time. Mine was what I/we believe to be round ligament pain. Actually happened as I was driving to work and I thought I was going to veer off the road it was so painful and uncomfortable. I was told it was normal also and it came and went for about 2 weeks and then never again. That was about the time where I really started to grow so I believe it was everything just stretching out and making room. Scary and no fun but seemingly harmless. I hope it doesn't happen anymore so you don't have to worry :)

  • That was about the time I had my only BH. I drank water like crazy but in hind sight I realized that day I had about half or less my normal intake for that time frame. Didnt happen again.

  • When I was 13 weeks I had HORRIBLE back pain, nausea, and vomiting. This was before I even knew I was having twins. I was told the baby wasn't big enough for it to be the cause. They diagnosed me with sciatica. I had to take extra strength Tylenol for about a week. I missed classes and work. It eventually went away on it's own but I felt like I was going to die.
