Cramps in 3rd tri?

[pugz]

Normal right? I have had them the last two evenings. Resting and drinking water seems to help

yes.

Are they cramps or contractions? I would call if they don't go away or rest doesn't help.
How are you in the 3rd tri already?!

[pugz]

Feel like mild period cramps. Not sure what contractions are like though . 30 weeks on tuesday! We are in Breckenridge right now but i am just relaxing while dh does hiking and biking.

When you get a cramp, feel your lower stomach. Rock hard? Contraction.

[pugz]

Not hard. She has been really active, maybe she is rearranging my insides. I am also constipated

[zeewifeandmama]

I would chalk it up to constipation and maybe a little dehydration. If they go away when you increase your water and rest, then they wouldnt concern me.

Feeling better! Lots of water and butt on the couch helped . Gonna go swim now!

Remind me where you normally live? It might be related to a change in altitude, less oxygen, atmospheric pressure, etc. as long as rest and water helps, you should be fine.

No to freak you out, but my dr isn't so sure about me going from 5,000 feet of altitude where we live to 7,500 feet for a Rocky Mountain National Park wedding in October; she has concerns about the altitude. I'll also be 36 weeks, so she could be concerned about a lot of other things and using the altitude as an excuse...

If it goes on for more than a day, you might give your dr a call. Even just to ease your nerves.

We went from KC to 9000 ft! May be altitude but i felt like this last night too. My doc wasn't worried about the altitude, but he is super laid back. Glad i brought my snoogle to sleep with, i need a good night's sleep
