Pregnancy question? need advice!

20 weeks 4 days pregnant. I've had lower back right pain all day....when I up walking or standing I am also having cramp like pains in my lower abdomen/pelvic area. The abdomen cramping isn't present as long as I am sitting but the back pain is still there just less painful. I don't believe my stomach is tightening. Its not unbearable pain, Just annoying and makes me worry. Any ideas? I took a hot bath and it still hurt minor in the bath, went away before I got out but when I got out it was back. Thanks ladies.
I called the Dr office and it has changed since I had my son 4 years ago. Since they are closed a recording just says if over 20 weeks and need medical attention then to go to labor and delivery.

    It could be stretching pains, but I am not sure if they are as bad with the second as they are with the first. I wouldn't worry too much so long as they are minor, and if it were me I wouldn't be spending the night in an ER or L&D, but I'm the kind of person that generally won't be in a hospital unless it's for someone else or someone else brings me in unconscious, so take it from where it comes. I'm also picking up cues from your message that you're not thinking it's too serious. If I'm wrong and your gut is telling you something bad is happening, it may be worth the trip. My biggest issue is that you can't get up with your OB. You're at the halfway mark, so you've got a ways to go and probably a lot of questions that will come outside of office hours. You might take this as a sign that you may want to check out some other OBs in your area, hopefully some that are at least willing to take a phone call from a worried patient, Sunday night or not.
