Q: First Time Mom-cramping And Back Pain

Hi...This is my first time ever using a message board, but I have read through some of the boards posted and some of the responses..So I feel very comfortable that someone can give me some insight on my problem. I am 25 weeks pregnant, and am starting to have a lot of cramping, and lower back pain...I went to the hospital 2 days ago and went into labor and delivery and they checked for the heartbeat of the baby, and everything was fine they said..I was not contracting either, but these pains and cramping are worrying me...Any advice?

Could be the beginnings of the braxton hicks contractions. Sometimes women feel them, some times they dont. Preparing for the birth contractions.--

first one I felt nothing until labor hit, 2nd and 3rd I felt braxton hicks for a couple months or more.

The cramping is normal. Very uncomfortable but normal. I'm 35 wks now and my cramping is just horrible. So is the back pain. I started getting the cramps around 32 wks or so. This is my second and with my first I didn't have any of this so it really scared me. Make sure and tell your doctor what is going on so he/she knows. I was checked at 34 wks and I am already 2cm dilated. So I would let your doc know, but everything should be fine. Good luck!
