    Unhappy Severe period like cramping :(

    Hi,

    Last night I went to bed with a bit of an ache in my belly. But this morning I woke up with severe *no exaggeration* period like cramping. It doesn't go away and come back, the pain is always there.
    But at times it gets so bad my eyes start to water, and that lasts about 15-20 seconds each time.

    As a result of this, my legs are aching and can't walk properly and feel a bit nauseated.
    Is this normal for 23/24 weeks pregnant? I'm a bit worried. Do you suggest having it checked out?

    Thanks In Advance,

    Mikayla xx

    Maybe call your hossy, or see your gp if you can. It could be just normal stretching and growing and stuff, but if it is so painful for you, I would probably err on the side of caution. Better to be safe than sorry!

    My braxton hicks felt something similar to what you are describing... but i would still get it checked out if you are worried. you could even just call your hospital and ask them what they think.
    all the best.

    hi bondigril. how scary. Look i'm no expert by any menas, but i was reading up on threatened early labour yesterday and I would also recommend you go to the hospy. I'm not saying it is that but could be a possibility.

    even if it's just branxton hicks, better safe than sorry and you won't be as concerned next time.

    It can't hurt. Do let us know how you go

    take care. ox

    i would get it checked out or atleast give the nurse on call a quick ring and see what she says. but if you are really in that much pain, i would be going to the ED to see what the go is. Better safe then sorry.
