Last night DH and I had a rich dinner, we went to bed a couple of hours later and twice during the night I was woken up by stomach cramps, the sort you might get before having a horribly upset stomach, like the very worst of period pains.
I didn't call the MW or 101 - I'm not sure why, I guess I was just seeing how they went.
Symptoms:
- No bleeding (no unusual discharge)
- Baby moving as normal
- Cold, twisty, graunchy pains like intense period pains starting at diaphragm moving down to to hips
- Pains start like sick-bug pains, grow to a crescendo at about five minutes, and the dwindle for five minutes (so 10-15 minutes of pain each time)
- I did manage to go to the loo both times (about an hour apart) - but tummy was not upset
Baby is currently breech, and seemed to be transverse by the second set of pains, so I wondered if that could have anything to do with it.
I feel largely fine today (slightly twingy stomach, not painful).
If the pain bursts had been shorter I'd have presumed it was contractions/practice contractions.
If there had been a third batch I'd have called the doc.
Has anyone experienced similar?
