Cramping and Low Back Pain?

[shauni27]

I am 13 weeks this week and since last night have had bad cramping and lower back pain.  No bleeding at all.  Just really bad cramping and back pain.  I have had consistent cramping throughout with an hour of cramps here and there, but nothing like this.

Normal?  Or should I call the Midwife?

I'd probably call, just to be safe. But, I would think the lack of bleeding is a good sign.
FX that it is just your body stretching and making room!

It sounds like round ligament pain.

How's your hydration? In addition to round ligament pain, whenever I get dehydrated (fairly often right now) this is one of the first signs.

I would hydrate and put up my feet and if it doesn't improve in an hour put a call into the practice.

[shauni27]

I am definitely hydrated (I generally drink 3 liters of water a day bare minimum). I put a call in and they said at this point, nothing to be worried about at all, if it is still continuing tomorrow mid morning to give them a call and then they would have me come in.

If you normally drink 3 without being pregnant, you still might need to raise. I normally drink a pretty decent amount of water, but being pregnant I have to basically drown myself.

Call to be safe but I remember cramping a lot in the 13-16 week timeframe. When you think about just how much you uterus is expanding I'm actually a little surprised it doesn't hurt more.

I'm 14 weeks today and the cramping just stopped, it was daily my whole first tri. Its so uncomfortable, I hope yours stops soon! Please keep us updated!

Also- as I was typing this I got a little cramp going across my lower abdomen. Lol. Thanks, baby.

I hope it gets better soon. I had a lot of cramping up until about 18 weeks. Baby is doing great so I just tell myself that he is stretching out.

((shauni27)) It's probably nothing but I'm glad you called in.
