24 weeks and don't feel "right". Pain in back and bum and nauseous. Any advice?

[WhyTheHeckMe]

Will try and keep short.
I'm 24+1 with dc2. Had a very straightforward and good pregnancy up till now.
Night before last I start getting very crampy period pains, the type where you know your period is imminent. I didn't stress and put it down to growing pains. I guess the pains may have continued into the night as I kept dreaming I was in labour.
I felt fine yesterday all day, then at bedtime i started to feel sick. Went to bed and woke at 2am where I then was heaving over the toilet for over 2 hours. No sick, no cramps, just an overwhelming sense of nausea.
Today I didn't get out of bed till 2pm. I have no energy and I am boiling although I have no temperature. I have a heat rash all over my chest.
I have a dull ache in my bum and legs and a bit in my back but nothing terrible.
On top of this the baby is going absolutely crazy, and has since last night. There has been no let up. You can see limbs sticking out all over, not just the odd kick in one spot.
Dh is very laid back all the time and has paid absolutely no interest. In fact he has just taken dc1 out to "give me a break" when I suggested I wasn't sure whether to call hospital.
We live 45 mins away from the hospital and I'm sure this is what's putting him off, as he'll feel like I have a bug and wasting everyone's time.
Can I get opinions?
I genuinely really don't want to leave the house if I don't have to but I don't know if these things are anything to worry about.

Thanks

I hope you're ok, and very glad you're going in. Thinking of you

Pleased to hear you are going to be checked out! Hope all is well

Hope you're OK, I think you're doing the right thing, better safe than sorry and not a time waster. Xx

Fingers crossed

You are not a time waster. Good luck and I hope it’s nothing X

Really hoping it turns out all fine.

I have had at least two time wasting visits to maternity unit with an exasperated DH in tow. Better safe than sorry.

Hope you’re okay OP

Hope all is ok op

Im glad you're going to be checked op. Hopefully it's nothing. Youre never wasting their time.

Hope all is ok OP?

Definitely not a time waster. I hope you are okay. It does sound like a UTI-related infection.

Hope all ok

Your not a time waster! Your 24wks pregnabt with his child, god forbid something were to happen would he still be mumping and moaning and less than happy?

I never found the hospital staff anything but reassuring in the sense of me not being a time waster. They always said they’d rather they saw me than not. Hopefully this will rub off on your DP.

You are not being a time waster even if they tell you all is well! And I hope they will. Good luck

Hope you are ok.

Thanks so much. All seems well, they've tested urine and swabbed me and said I can go home and they'll be in touch if any concerns from my swab. Cervix was closed and baby seemed happy enough :-)

Glad you went to get checked out. It's better to be safe than worst case. Your husband needs to change his attitude though

So glad all is well!

YY to your dh needing a change of attitude. You know your body, not him. He can hum and har as much as he wants, just make sure you listen to yourself and your body like you did today. So much better to be safe than sorry and now you can relax knowing all is well

You did the right thing. And remember you phoned them and they told you to come in. Your DP should have that pointed out - he needs a change of attitude.

You did the right thing a mother's instinct is different to a fathers sometimes I don't know how I just feel it is. My hubby used to think I rushed to the mau when pregnant however felt it was my job to get my daughter checked out if I felt different. Same as now she's here I rang 111 and she was sent to a and e today. Hubby thought the trip was unnecessary but I can rest tonight knowing I protected her

Hope everything is ok with the swabs. Get as much rest/fluids as possible x

Well done for going - they never think that you're wasting time, they'd rather have the chance to help, relieve stress and make sure the babies are ok.
Please make sure you go back again if there are any changes.

You absolutely did the right thing.

I didn't want to explicitly state this yesterday, but many women who tragically go through a still birth report significantly increased movement before it happens, so I would always go and get that checked out even if everything else seems normal. It's never a waste of time. I'm so glad everything is okay - don't hesitate to go back if you're worried. Rashes and feeling very unwell can be caused by a serious liver condition in pregnancy so always worth getting that checked out too, especially if you're very itchy.

Hey

Just reading this and wanted to know what the outcome was and hope you’re ok and the baby
