So I have been consistently cramping for the last few hours and now out of the blue my back hurts.…

Are you dehydrated? That's usually the answer to most cramping during pregnancy!

I have a few contractions too. My doctor told me today that I'm going to experience it because of how big our uterus expands and our body is getting ready for labor. As long as they're not frequent.

@gcpaschal, that's what I'm worried about. The cramping started hours ago and haven't stopped. Maybe it's just my uterus having a growth spurt? 😅😂

@rheganolivia, I don't believe so... I've been drinking water and Gatorade all day.

I thought I was drinking enough and STILL ended up in the ER for dehydration. These babies suck up a lot of water! Or maybe you have an iron deficiency because that can cause cramping. I have that too!

I would find out if it's dehydration but if it's frequent call and see what doc says.

@rheganolivia, well I am anemic and have to take iron! I'll try to drink some more water and if it hasn't eased up, maybe I'll call. Thanks @breezy81516 and @gcpaschal!!

I hope you feel better! Definitely call your doc if it doesn't go away by morning

I experience a lot of cramping and my doctor told me at my appt that I was dehydrated

Try water or lemonade
