I don't know lol

I'm asking this because I really don't have a clue what's supposed to be normal and what isn't...For a while now, I've been feeling what everyone calls BH... they don't last long and aren't frequent. Well day before yesterday, I woke up hurting so bad. Down around where I would if I was on my period. I was cramping and had to walk and breathe through it to get some sort of relief. It lasted about maybe 1 minute. It woke me up, which stinks.... Anyway this morning I got up and only felt a little pressure, nothing major. Well I'm lying in bed on my side doing nothing and out of no where I get a bad cramping feeling again like I'm on my period. It hurts and makes you wonder if your still breathing sometimes cause you can't focus lol... I tried to see how long this one lasted and it was 2 minutes. Now that it's over, I'm just a little achy..... I have another doctors appointment on Monday. I don't want to make a big deal out of it if I can make it till then lol so, what am I feeling? And should I call my doctor anyway or just try to hold out? Did you get this while you were pregnant?

I went to my doctor and asked about the pains I was having as well, they then went and checked the babies heart rate and sent me immediately to the ultrasound room to check on the baby.  She's perfectly fine but has an abnormally low heart rate like I do, but is still just as active so they were fine with that part.  I was told that my big pains were contractions and that I shouldn't be having them yet and should only be having the BH kind, which I also get.  I was asked about my water intake and my activity level.  Turns out, i'm doing TOO much and not drinking enough water.  I guess being dehydrated (go figure with all this heat) can cause you to have some contractions.  Don't know if that helps you but I figured I'd let you know what my doctor had said about it.

I had a doctors appointment yesterday. He sent me over to L&D to be monitored and everything came back fine. He said it sounds like BH's and the position of the baby. But to come back if I have bleeding, leaking, or bad back pain that lasts more than 2 hours.

im also getting these feelings im 31+2 weeks i dont no what they are either. i dont remember them in my last pregnancy

I have gotten similar cramping pains lately too.  It's usually really low and off to the side.  It lasts a minute or so and reminds me of the stretching pains I would get in my first trimester except they last longer.  Not sure what it is and I can't remember if I had these pains with my other pregnancies.  I am thinking it's stretching or the baby just laying in a weird position?  Most of the time if I get up and move around a bit (a really slow walk) it eases up then goes away.

I am one of those people that believe "better safe then sorry". Call your doctor just to make sure and get there opinion.

I just experienced it again. This time I'm in the car and it hurt the same way but also through my back. Hurt a LOT. I suppose I need to call my doctor

Honestly, I can't really answer your question because I haven't experienced that, but I would say call your dr and let them know how your are feeling. Good luck!!

I was just reading today about false labor that was described by pretty much just what you had described above.  This is my first baby so I'm not sure if that is exactly what it is but it sounds like it.  I would maybe just call your clinic and tell them about it and ask if it's something that they would want to see you for sooner than your Monday appointment.  Let me know what you find out. I've had some wierd cramps today too and i just hit 31 weeks yesterday.  Maybe it's just stretching?

And if it helps, I will be 31 weeks tomorrow.
