Need advice......

Hi Ladies,

I need some advice!! I have been cramping a good bit off an on all weekend. At it's worst it is low in my pelvic area and will actually make my legs hurt. I know that cramping can be normal and that it could possibly be round ligament pain so I dont want to call the doctor for every ache I get just because I'm paranoid.

I havent had any spotting and definitely nothing remotely like a contraction.....but since I cant feel the baby move yet I worry like crazy. (This is my second baby but it's been 21 YEARS since my last pregnancy......things are much scarier now!) LOL.  My next scheduled appointment is scheduled for next Tuesday (2/22) so only a week away.

Do I call the doctor or try to relax and wait until next week? I dont want to seem like a hypochondriac.

If it's going to make you feel more at ease, call. It's your baby and its ok to be paranoid, better to call and it be nothing. It obviously seems serious enough that you posted this, so get it checked out.

Call the Dr. They will prob have you come in for an ultrasound or exam to hear the HB with a doppler. Good luck :)

Cramping is sometimes contractions, so better safe than sorry. Especially if you are feeling it in your legs, I felt my contractions in my legs throughout labor. My legs actually hurt really bad still. I would call.
