So I have been consistently cramping for the last few hours and now out of the blue my back hurts. Should I be worried? I'm a FTM so I have no idea what contractions feel like. Baby is still active as ever.
I hope you feel better! Definitely call your doc if it doesn't go away by morning
@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 would find out if it's dehydration but if it's frequent call and see what doc says.
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!
@rheganolivia, I don't believe so... I've been drinking water and Gatorade all day.
@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? 😅😂
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.
I experience a lot of cramping and my doctor told me at my appt that I was dehydrated
Try water or lemonade
