Help, Ouch!

[*The_Mrs.*]

I am almost 31 weeks pregnant. I used to be labeled as high risk because the Dr. thought they saw a bicornuate uterus. No worries now I don't have it.
I have already been to the hospital for a million tests and do not want to go unless I am sure there is a problem.

At this very moment I am experiencing very uncomfortable (but liveable) cramping sensations exactly like period cramps in my lower abdomen. I do not have a lower back ache at all which I know is good. I have braxton hicks but I have had them for the past week now and they are very irregular and random. I am over in the states and it is very late (10 pm). So I am wondering should I be worried? Should I go to the hospital? I really hope not. But these cramps hurt and they wont seem to go away. Plus fiance is at work.....


What to do???
Is this normal at 31 weeks?

I hope so...

Why don't you call your hospital? People have babies at all times of the night, so someone will be there - explain your symptoms to a midwife and see what they say?
I would say if you're cramping at regular intervals it might be worth going in. But I'm not a midwife, just saying what I'd do. All the best.

Jessica, I've had the same thing. My midwife explained them as stretching muscles that start about this time.

However, if you're really worried call the hospital.
