" can you call the hospital or your doctor's office and get advice from them? If not, I would say it is always best to err on the side of caution and get medical treatment just in case. "

" I think you have to go with your gutt instinct on this one cause if you call the hospital they are going to always be on the side of caution and tell you to come in anyways because they don't want to tell you it isn't something and then be liable when it turns out to be something they didn't expect. If you think you should go then you should go but it's hard for us to know what exactly you are feeling and going through. Could it be ligament stretching or something along those lines or is it a REALLY bad cramping?
Either way you deside I hope everything turns out alright good luck "

" Its possible that it could be Braxton-Hicks contractions.... my doc said that people can get them around 26 weeks. I haven't had them yet, so I don't know what they feel like... I wish I could give you more info there. They said if you get them to put your feet up and drink a big glass (or two) of water and it should calm things down. I would call your doc anyway to ask what they think though. Take care and good luck! "

" Thank you all! I called my Dr and she wanted me to go in to get on the monitor to make sure so we did and it was nothing...she said might be him growing and stretching out or the start of a stomach bug...It felt soo much better to hear his heartbeat and to hear him moving around in there!! Thank you all again! "
