I was told by my midwife if you have any kind of cramping that lasts more than an hour and doesn't go away if you've out you're feet up and drinking water, to go in to L&D to be safe. Wound up having to do that last night and turns out I was having contractions but I'm not dilated so they sent me home with a muscle relaxer. But I would go if I were you. Especially after 5 hours. Better to be safe than sorry....
As a serious question, why haven't you called your doctor about this? I can maybe understand not running to L&D if you've only been cramping off and on for an hour or two, but calling your doctor takes so little energy and costs you nothing. I am curious about the mentality behind not calling.
If there's something strange underneath the hood. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. If there's something weird and it don't look good. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. Immediately. If it's new, painful, and possibly pregnancy related get your ass off the internet and call your doctor. It's for your health and your child's.
Except that given the fact you're asking a bunch of random internet strangers whether you should be concerned, you obviously didn't know if it was critical or an emergency.
We're not bitches, we're a bunch of women who have had enough of posters like you who are seemingly incapable of looking after themselves and abdicate all personal responsibility. We're actually genuinely concerned for the well-being of moms and babies we've never met, which is pretty much the opposite of being a bitch.
Also the word you struggled to spell is critical. Not cridical. That makes you sound like an idiot.
Honestly, I'd rather be a bitch who gives enough of a damn about a woman who appears to be in danger of harming herself and her child than an idiot who puts her child's life in danger for 5hrs because she's too stupid and/or lazy to call her doctor.
Also, you calling me and the other women telling you the common sense advice to call your doctor during a possible medical emergency a bitch both offends me due to your language and inhibits my enjoyment of this website. To be frank, your spelling and grammar also offend me and greatly impede my enjoyment of this website.

@BumpTara It's been stated multiple times on this board that QFP means "Quoted for Posterity" or "Quote for Proof" which is in no way against the TOU or Guidelines and has proven useful in proving violations of said forum rules. The fact that you choose to attribute a rude or vulgar meaning to it such as "Quit Fucking Posting" is not the problem of community members. If you are going to moderate these boards, please pay attention to the meaning we attribute to acronyms or add your version of QFP into the community glossary so that we will all know that The Bump assumes it to be vulgar.
ETA: It impedes the enjoyment of this community and these discussions when women who are trying to be helpful are warned and banned for arbitrary reasons. It honestly feels as though members of certain private groups are being harassed by you specifically based on your banning without warning of multiple members and warnings being given for contextually appropriate behavior.

Hey @bumptara, TOU violation right here, so can we please get a warning or a ban for this user considering you LOVE handing those out to regs for next to nothing.
Just an old 'bad apple' with no home to call her own,lurking in the shadows :-)
I called but the reason why I had not, was because I don't feel they are labor pains, and was asking for general public opinions on what they have experienced with cramping. If I felt it was cridical or an emergency then yes I would have called my doctor sooner, thank you for the people who weren't bitches. I'll never use this app again. Thank you
Edited because I don't need to get banned over this one. Today isn't the day.
I just got warned for grabbing OP's quote before she tried to delete it since she clearly violated TOU!?!?
Wow! I just ignore my inbox now since this LOVELY app doesn't tell me when I have a new message anyway. Another reported problem yet to be fixed. I assume I'll know when I push it too far since I've already got two warnings. Bleh!
Woah, @BumpTara@bumpadmin - quoting for proof is now against the TOU and warning-worthy? So a drive by poster can now bait regulars by breaking the TOU and then dirty delete before you see it to avoid getting a warning or banned themselves? ETA - this definitely inhibits my enjoyment of the site.
