    That sounds like a good thing to call your doctor about. None of us can diagnose anything for you over the Internet. I'm not experiencing that and have not experienced that at all.

    I'd call your Dr. In the meantime you should try to drink 20-40 oz water, lay down and see if you can get them to go away! I get Braxton Hicks contractions a lot especially if I haven't drank enough water. Good luck.

    I definitely agree of calling your dr, better safe than sorry. I had a crampy episode yesterday, period-like with tightening and nausea.. until I realized I haven't been drinking enough water that day. I chugged a few glasses, laid on my left side for about a half hour and it faded away.

    My doctor told me to drink lots of water and try a warm bath. She said if it still persists after a couple hours to call.

    I had something very similar yesterday. I had cramping in my lower abdomen as well as persistent lower back pain that lasted for several hours. I took a bath and drank about 25 oz of water and it didn't go away, so I called. The OB on call told me that unless they are rhythmic and timeable, no need to worry. She said you will feel your uterus tighten, stay that way for about 45 seconds, then release when you're contracting. Sure enough, I went to bed and woke up this morning and it was gone. Sometimes its hard to tell what is just a weird pregnancy thing and what is something to be really worried about. Hope you feel better!

    I had this too this weekend. I'm 27 weeks with terrible back pain and cramps. Plus my boy was moving like crazy. I felt like he was swimming and doing back flips. I called the doctor she said it was fine. Good luck.

    You should call your doctor.
