What kind of cramping is normal for 2nd tri?

its kinda of dull cramp my %#%#@ OB is booked til Feb so im lucky to have a appt with him next thurs, she told me i can see my regular GP-but what the heck can they do for cramping? im drinking my water; taking my last few pills of macrobid for this stupid UTI no bleeding just a dull continuous cramping and some lovely pain in my thighs like i did the splits! :lol: L&D wont even see u til like 27 wks so they only send u to the ER for a u/s and blood work-i just had an u/s last week and the girls look great! --I dont want to run off to the hospital if this is a normal thing for 22 wks along?

 

I sorry… I just wanted to tell you that :hug99: …
Did you get to “talk to your OB” or was it a nurse?
I have had cramping... but it doesnt last long... and usually after a few BIG glasses of water, it goes away...

 

it was just the scertary-sp-im drinking my 2nd big glass of water now-i still have to pick up my son from school in 30 mins walking
How u feeling? i think i should just keep drinking!

 

With the mention of pain int he thighs, it sounds like round ligament pains to me.

I didn't have the cramping with my twin pregnancy, however, this time around (singleton), I had the cramping that started around 26 weeks. I did ask my OB about it, she said as long as it wasn't associated with consistent contractions (I do get BH with it sometimes) and there is no bleeding, then it's probably just the uterus stretching, but told me to keep my eye out of anything out of the ordinary and call if I needed to.

I hope it's nothing, but you should call your OB back or see your GP if you are at all concerned. A twin pregnancy is a whole different ball game when it comes to symptoms and stuff like that.

Maybe ask if you can “speak “ to the OB… maybe if he talks to you… who knows… I ALWAYS feel better talking to my Dr then his nurses… though they are nice… he’s the one with the MD after his name…
I’m doing good, thank you
Just be careful with all that water and a walk… I would pee my pants… or in someone’s bushes… and what a lovely sight THAT would be :shok: …

 

:lol: omg i can imagine! the urgency to pee is bad thou isnt it- i was able to get an appt with my GP at least tommorow maybe he can check the cervix i guess?

 

I've had cramping. Around 20 weeks I asked and my OB said it was normal - uterus growing. Last week I had more cramping and went to L&D - I was fine. They said it was constipation, even though I know it was NOT constipation. I'm still going to ask my doctor, but I haven't had any cramping since then. I'm thinking it isprobably just normal growing pains!

 

im hoping that's what it is! i have grown alot in the last week and im up a whooping 24 lbs now! my sweet friend said its all in my boobs and belly :lol:
