33 weeks tomorrow stomach cramping!

[Maggie199408]

Hello I am 33 weeks tomorrow all day I've been having stomach cramps and loose stools.... is this common? How do I stop it? If it carries on tomorrow should I call someone?

Does it feel like period pain or like stomach cramps associated with a bug.

If like period pain then contact your midwife as you're only 33 weeks. Sounds like a bug more than early labour?

I’d call as they can then check. It’ll probably be an hour on the monitor

Stomach cramps but I don't think it's a bug I've had this before used to happen whenever I ate fish during this pregnancy however not had none its strange x

You may have well eaten something else that set it off. Monitor at home and if ongoing then ask midwife for a CTG monitoring session to see if its labour pain.

I’d phone them ! Better to be safe! Tell them about your loose stools as they may isolate you in a room so others don’t catch if it’s a bug! How far is the hospital? X

What do you think it is? Been going on all day since woke up at 7am and now it's 10:30pm and it's so uncomfortable I feel higher up stomach cramps like when you have a bug but I am sure it isn't as I'd have sickness and direaha I've only had 2 loose stools one this morning and one tonight that's it rest of time it's just this cramping pain I've had a nap and woke up with it still I've had a baby before this definitely isn't contractions not period like pain :( xx

It's about half an hour x

How long should I monitor it for at home been all day from 7am till 10:30pm and I am soooo tired do I just wait till tomorrow x

No phone them now and get their advise ! Is bub moving okay ? Xx

Yh she's moving normally x

Go to the hospital

@Maggie199408 did you get checked ? Xx

it does sound like labour is about to start
They may recede or ramp up only time will tell
if she does end up coming 33 weeks is ok and they can usually breathe ok
i was born at 33 weeks 60 years ago but medicine is progressing continuously
Do Call your midwife
I think you need a CTG

So in UK you ring maternity advice line before you go in so I did that explained everything and she said I just have a stomach bug and to ride it out and if I start vomiting fever or worsening cramps call back x

Update! Incase no one saw I called maternity line and they said it was just a stomach bug and to ride it out 🤷‍♀️ thank you for everyone's advice x

Are you feeling better @Maggie199408xx

Has it stopped now?

Yh just major leg cramps I didn't sleep all night till 5am was awful the stomach cramps have calmed down but loose stools still and leg cramps all day all night couldn't sleep with it worst it's been not sure if that's dehydrated sign I've drank more water today to replace any post hoping for a goodnight sleep! Thank you for asking and for your advice appreciated xx

How can they just say it’s a bug and not ask you to go in and be monitored? That’s crazy to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Maggie199408 how are you now ?

I finally got sent in for it all my 34 week midwife appointment she wasn't happy they never sent me in turns out have an infection and babies breach now xx

Sorry to hear that. I'm glad you got seen today.

Yes midwife filed a report about the fact they didn't send me in that day I rang x

How are you this morning? Did they keep you in?
