what should i do?

Hello everyone i am going to be 29 weeks on tuesday and i do have a ob appt on monday but since last night i have been havin cramping it doesnt last long but its off and on all day sorry tmi but it makes me feel like i have to poop and the pain under my ribcage is unbearable its a constant pain ..no matter how i stretch lay or sit it wont go away it hurts to breat sneeze, cough i got no sleep last night because of the two pains put together ,,my hubby wants me to call my ob but like i said i have that appt in the morning and everytime i do call its always nothing and i feel stupid like im a pain in the butt..but i cant go through another night like last night..and tylenol heating pad nothing works..anyadvice?

 

My advice is call you OB right now. You shouldn't be in "unbearable" pain. Please call. You can never be too safe.

 

THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE THERE FOR. CALL YOUR OB.

 

DEF call.....I had that same pain and it was severe pre-e....CALL!! (not wanting to imply thats def what you have but I wouldn't risk it!)

 

Please call - if it's nothing then that's great but if it is you will be so pleased you did.

good luck

 

Definitely CALL them!!!!! They would want to see you if you had pain around your ribcage as that can be a sign of preeclampsia!!! That is one of the things they told me to watch for. It could be just gas too or it could be something else but you definitely need to talk to a doctor today. Don't feel dumb. That is what they are there for and it's SO much better to be safe than sorry. Again, it's probably nothing but when it's in that area, they are going to want to check you out!!!!!
Take care and let us know how it goes.

 

Call! If it's nothing then it's nothing but if it's something then they can see you right away.

 

Definitely call or go in.

 

Call!!!!! It does sound like it could be gallbladder to me.

 

I hope everything is going okay... Let us know how you are, Lisa

That is great that everything is ok with the babies. It is a good thing you went in and got treatment for the other stuff. Good luck with your bed rest.

Bedrest is hard, at least your kids are older and can fend for themselves somewhat...
there also is a bedrest subforum too you might like to visit

Good thing you went in. Really you can never be too careful with twins. OBs are actually expecting you to call them fairly often.

I hope you manage to get some help out of the kids.

 

I know that I feel like I am always calling them too. They told me that you can not be too careful especially when you are pg with twins. That is great that you went in for treatments. I know bedrest will be hard, but at least they did not say you had to stay at the hospital. That would probably be pretty tortuous. Hopefully your kids will realize you need help and pitch in!

Good luck!

 

I am so glad everything is okay! Hang in there, your teens will come through. Maybe they'll surprise you! Lisa

 

glad your ok! thats what worries me the most too the cramping

 

Glad you're okay. Remember......when in doubt call the OB. It's best to be safe.
