So I’ve been experiencing cramping and lower back pain since yesterday. TMI but my stool has been looser since yesterday too. I could barely sleep last night. I was tossing and turning trying to get comfortable but the cramping and back pain together was taking me out. Could this be a sign of pre-term labor?

I would definitely get checked to see if it is. Are you alright?

I called the on call doctor and she says it’s normal. I just need to drink water and relax. Then she said my cramping could be because of the diarrhea as if I don’t know the difference lol

I’ve been having the same pain except for diarrhea I went to labor and deliver and was 2 cm dilated they monitors me for 2 hours to see if anything changes which luckily it didn’t but I’m still sitting at 2cm

always trust your intuition. It's your body you know it best. Weeks ago I was told “its normal its just gas” come to find out it was gallstones stuck in my gallbladder.

omg. well at least that’s good to know!

omg, I hope feeling better. I’m gonna go get checked just to be on the safe side

Thank you and yes I would definitely go get checked it’s better safe then sorry I was contemplating on going for 3 days straight having symptoms then I finally went

I’ve had this for weeks and I’m nowhere near labor
I hope when I go to my appointment on Tuesday they tell me I’m dilating 🤣🤣 yesterday/last night was one of the worst days I’ve had this whole pregnancy I can barely walk ALOT of cramping, pelvic and back pain and my feet are sooo swollen I’m walking on the sides of them 🥴

I’d use a contraction timer to track the cramping, they’ll take you more seriously if you can show them. That is what early labor felt like to me
