Pre term labor?

kylaelizabeth92 · June 2017

Hi ladies! I am a STM and I am trying not to be paranoid but I have just felt "off" the last couple of days. Yesterday I had super achy hips/pelvis, BH contractions when I would walk, pain when I walked, etc.. today I have been pooping (sorry tmi) a lot and I keep getting diarrhea cramps. My lower back has also been hurting and feeling crampy. Am I just being paranoid?! What gives?!

I advise you to ask your OB for concerns like these

Thanks for the help ladies

These last few weeks are always the hardest, because all of what you mentioned are symptoms of PTL, but also totally normal 3rd trimester symptoms. I would totally call your OB and ask to get checked out. Better safe than sorry, and that's why they get paid the big bucks.

I agree! And that's why I hate calling because I don't want to sound dumb or worry about nothing!

Your doctor shouldn't make you feel dumb for calling with your concerns. If they make you feel that way you need a new doctor.

You're right! She is an amazing midwife, I just hate calling lol. But I did call, just to be on the safe side!

If you are having more than 6 contractions in an hour that don't stop when you empty your bladder, drink water, and lay down on your left side, then you need to call L&D. Period like cramping and diarrhea are possible signs of PTL. But for real, no one on this board can tell you if you are experiencing PTL.
