I am having cramping like crazy right now!!! I don't feel "tightening" in my stomach, or contracting, just cramps. Just because I don't feel the tightening could it still be contractions? Its just a constant cramping thats driving me nuts. Its not going away and coming back...its just constant. What could this be? Aren't contractions supposed to stay for about 30 seconds then completely go away, then come back? From what I can feel it hasn't gone away, its a constant pain.

Its definitely not something that I cant handle, its manageable, just painful.

Are the cramps in the front or in your back? My MW said that cramps can be a sign of a UTI, try drinking a pint of water every hour on the hour - that can sometimes stop a UTI developing if its really mild.

It could be the start of very early labour, or maybe you've pulled a muscle? Give your MW/ doctor a call though to be sure as you're still pre-term.

I'd ring your midwife hun.. or the local labour ward. I have read that women can go into labour and not actually get the contracting feelings..

dont wanna worry you- just get anything you seem a bit weird checked out just in case . x
