The painful cramping started early this morning, and off and on since. It isn't timeable though.

My stomach is rock hard, and I'm feeling a lot pressure on my pelvic floor, lower abdomen and back. There isn't bleeding,or full blown labor contractions, but there is discomfort....like I need to poop. I feel the baby, but drinking water and lying down isn't aleviating the problem.

Do I call the doc? I'm going to go for a walk for a bit and see if there is a change. If it gets worse or stays the same I am planning on calling the doc.

Yes, call the doctor...no harm in being cautious and asking questions, that's what they are there for! Good luck, I hope everything is alright.

I certainly wouldn't go for a walk. Sounds like you should call your doc.

Call your OB. And since it's been happening for several hours and already hasn't lessened with water and laying down, I wouldn't wait any longer.

Call your dr. I would prolly walk if I were in your shoes too but it's not a good idea! Feet up and phone call!!!

I agree with the others, probably best to touch base with your doc.

i would call but not get too concerned. i had major cramps, pain and pressure all day yesterday. i called the OB's office just to find that he's on vacation this week. opted against going into the emergency room so i just left work and laid on my left side for a few hours, and drank lots of juice and water. still felt a little uncomfortable by the time i went to sleep but was much better this morning. i hardly feel anything now. for me, i think my bump & the baby just majorly grew. my belly looked way larger yesterday when i woke up and i think the pain yesterday was just everything growing and expanding.

a friend of mine who is a doctor (and recently had a baby) said that this is a very uncomfortable stage of pregnancy and that if you're in preterm labour it will feel like severe menstrual cramps.

that being said definitely call if you are worried! just sharing my own experience.

Called OB and they want me to go to LD, on my way now. OB office was open, but sent me there anyway.

I had this with DSs pregnancy, and they sent me as well to be checked. The pressure is still very much present.

Wow, sorry for those pointless quotes, not sure what happened there. Just wanted to send my thoughts and prayers. Hoping everything is ok and waiting for an update!

If you are only around 20 weeks do NOT go for a walk. If you feel like you are in labor at least call the ob, or just go to the ER. My hospital automatically sends pg women to labor and delivery if over 20 weeks. I was just in last week with bleeding, nothing to play with and way too early to have a baby.
