Light lower cramping

Hey ladies, I've been experiencing some light cramps in my lower tummy for the better part of 2 days. I don't know exactly how to feel about it. It gets somewhat better when I lay back and relax but it hasn't gone completely away. I'm starting to feel nervous about it. Has anyone else been having this problem?
Please, help ease my worries.

Re: Light lower cramping

  • Could you explain your symptoms in more detail? I feel like there's not enough information to go on. If you are really concerned I would call your OB.

  • Me too!! I'm a stm and I swear I don't remember this from the first time around! Mine are very low and feels slightly like period cramps... I had them for the better portion of the day!
  • Well, they feel really close to period cramps. Very low. And somewhat in my lower back and thighs. Not extremely painful but constant I've been drinking a lot of water and resting but they aren't getting better. Baby is moving a lot too.

    Sounds like Braxton Hicks contractions, but I'm not a medical professional. That's good that baby is moving around a lot. Does your OB office have any doctors on call?

  • I would call your OB and let them know what's going on and see if they want to check you out. I've always read and been told Braxton Hicks usually lessens or goes away when you drink water or shift positions. Are you able to time them? If they're coming regularly that would be something to tell the doctor as well.
  • I had this EXACT thing/still do. I talked to my Dr. And she said it's totally normal as the baby is pressing down on everything.
  • It's kind of a constant pain, not anything I can time... I have an appointment in an few days and I'm feeling better today so I think I'll just wait until I see my dr.
    Thank you ☺
