3rd Trimester

Help. Important question

Asking as your in 3rd trimester. I'm in the 2nd trimester (16weeks). Does anyone remember experiencing consistent abdominal pain, resting or moving lasting a few days and everything turning out fine?
Can't get hold of my midwife to ask if I should be worried or not. I will still go hospital tomorrow but need to kind of put my mind at ease just for the night.

    I'm very wary of talking about what is "normal" or not because I may say something is normal for me and then another mom will say how it absolutely is not always normal. And they'd be right. And to top it off, you haven't really described your pain much so I REALLY can't say anything about it at all. For me, some pain has been normal. For me. things like pulling ligaments, braxton hicks (mostly don't hurt but every once in awhile i get one that does) and lightening crotch (Pretty much exactly what it sounds like) are all considered "normal" for me. Some discomfort when i've been too physical throughout the day. That's normal for me too. And a weird stinging on my upper abdomen that, when i press on the spot, hurts under the skin, is apparently normal for me (I'm feeling where my stomach muscles are moving apart)
  • It could be something as normal as round ligament pain, or it could be something more. Definitely speak to the doctor.
  • And if it's bad enough that you need to get advice or peace of mind it may be best that you call L&D or ER. Much better to be safe than sorry.
  • You can't get a hold of your midwife? How would you get in touch if you were in labor? Do they not have a way to page them?
