cramping at 25 weeks?

[Rafwife]

I know I should know this all it's my 4th baby but the past 15 mins or so it feels like I am about to come on ifyswim quite uncomfortable constant period type pain.

Anyone else remeber or had this?

Sorrt I haven't had this. Definitely ring your labour ward for advice. This is not meant to worry you, but I would rather phone and have them say it's nothing than sit at home being unsure. hth x

[Rafwife]

Yeah I know what your saying think I will do that in a sec, going to get some water give it say 15 mins and see then and call.

Am on number 4 aswell, 32 wks and forget it all each time!

I have been feeling this on and off; could be stretching/trapped wind/baby in odd position?

I would call someone for advice though. I get these horrible tearing or ripping pains and I've still not a clue what they are..

Hope you're ok; have you tried chilling in the bath and see if it feels better?

[Rafwife]

Yeah I get those ripping pains. Bath good idea, going to take one then pop back down here and phone if still happening.

Trying to not wake the house you know what it's like not wanting to make a fuss out of something or nothing especially when I feel I should remember if this is normal!

[catbus]

Yes, I know!

How long have you been having the pains; all day?
Do you know what the ripping ones are by the way?!

Hope you manage to relax; I know it's hard not to worry; for the first time in any pg, I have already been to hospital re;movement worries.

Can you feel any change in movements? If so, always worth getting it checked.

[Rafwife]

For the past hour or so.....the ripping ones are ligaments I was told. Waiting for a call back rang them now as I am not sure, I had a prem attempt at 28 weeks last time, so thought it was best to ring sooner really!

[catbus]

Oh god, good luck. It's always worse late at night: makes you feel even more vulnerable.

I hope you are alright: sending good vibes your way before I sink my 3rd hot choc before bed!

Hi

Rafwife, how are you today? Have things settled down?

[Rafwife]

Hi I am ok thanks, was a long night. I have another set of Anti'bs this is my 7th lot as I have had a constant infection for about 3 months!

Been told to not phone and go straight in again with cramping if it happens as they said with all the UTI thing the risk is heightened of prem labour so just to be cautious. Like you said they'd rather be safe than sorry.

Fine though here at least not an early escape attempt the anti'b are making me feel really sick though!

Glad you are ok. At least you are 'on their books' so they are treating you x
