I am 33 weeks and 4 days..and for the last 3 days i have been in bed cramping and having back pain..i have tried tyenol even tyenol with codiene because they where severe.i feel the baby move alot and when im not tightenig up in my back and lower abdomen i am constantly cramping ..anyone else feeling this..is this braxton hicks or real ones.this is my first pregancny..
Real or fake contractions?
Sounds like back labor. Have you called the dr? Please do so right away. If the pain is coming in waves anything less than 15 min apart I would go to L&D.
yes i have always had pains in my back like severely..and i called the doctor they said go to hospital if i have more then 5 contractions within 1 hour, besides the tighting inbetween those times,i have menstrual like cramps..i will go to L&D if they dont improve.
Everyone tells me that if they get worse over time, go to L and D because it could be labor. If they stay the same (or become less strong) then probably not, could just be bad gas pains. But if the pain is severe I'd go in cause it could be something else that needs to be treated.
YEA I BEEN REALLY CONSTIPATED LATELY TO BUT THESE DONT SEEM LIKE GAS PAIN THEY ARE REAL CRAMPS AND TIGHTNING PAINS
only the doctor can tell if its real or fake. I would personally go in. I was contracting every 3-5 minutes (which felt like period cramps with severe back back) and went to L&D. the monitors were picking it up but i wasnt dilating so it was considered "preterm contractions" or false labor. Ive been contracting the same way on and off for a week and still nothing. everytime it happens i have to go in because who knows if it will turn into real labor.
better to be safe then sorry, right?
