33 weeks with cramping..is it contrations?

Question

Im 33 weeks along now & it's my first pregnancy so I really don't know what to expect. Sorry if this part is too personal. But on Saturday after intercourse I was having cramping for a few hours & then on sunday after intercourse I was getting them again. I really didn't think anything of it. Monday, Tuesday & today I was walking & was experiencing more cramping. Now just a few minutes ago I was having cramping while sitting. Is it contractions?? Im going to the doctors tomorrow & my mom told me if they get any sharper she'll take me to the ER. I think it was on sunday I had a cleary discharge later on that night but im not sure if it was from the intercourse or what..Im so confused:( & really can't wait till the doctor appointment tomorrow!! Any suggestions?? Sorry if it's too long or confusing..Serious answers & please don't be rude!!

Oh, I forgot to ask, does the bottom of your tummy have to be hard for when your going into labor??

Answer 1

Hi there...I know what you mean about people being rude here...happens all the time to me...you should rest and take it easy..sounds like false labour but you should really go the the ER to make sure, they could give you meds to stop the contractions if that's indeed what they are.....33 weeks is too early to give birth...Sounds like the clear discharge was your mucus plug...please go to the ER if you can tonight..
Don't take any chances with the little one..some women experience cramping in the last few weeks but we are not doctors here and the best person to ask is someone at the hospital..I am sure they would see you right away and you would not have to wait...good luck and let us know...good luck :))

Doesn't necessarily sound like contractions though Braxton Hick's (fake labor) is possible. Cramps are very common in pregnancy both after sex and after walks as you get later into your pregnancy. But, I wouldn't worry so much about them as
as long you don't see blood beyond spotting. A guide for knowing a contraction is that it will make you stop while its happening, from early labor to the delivery. They will also have some rhythm to them. My first pregnancy I was in labor all day having contractions about 30-40 seconds in length every half hour. You should definitely feel free to do these activities. Day I was in labor I went for a mile walk with hubby and dogs. Had baby nine hours later. Walking especially is good during labor anyway help move the labor along.

Answer 3

If sex and walking are causing cramping, then I would suggest u omit these two activities for the remainder of your pregnancy.
You sound like u may be having braxton hicks contractions. Drink two glasses of water and lay on your left side. If they dont stop, then u need to go to the emergency room.
33 weeks is too early to have the baby. So, dont take it lightly. Try the water and left side thing, and if in an hour, the cramps dont lighten up or stop, then go to the doc.
Good luck to u.

You might ask your health practitioner for an ultrasound, if the youngster remains to be measuring huge at round 36 weeks. I was once measuring huge on the finish, however simplest via every week, I feel. The health practitioner ordered an ultrasound and envisioned the youngster was once 9lbs at 38 weeks and supplied to urge. I determined to stay it out and my youngster was once born at forty one weeks, weighing 8lbs. 6oz. The ultrasound is not consistently risk-free and may also be off via 2lbs both manner. I suppose my youngster measured bigger than he was once considering he had relatively a huge head. I suppose the circumference of the pinnacle is side of what they use to calculate the load estimate. Since your youngster is measuring such a lot bigger than mine, I might undoubtedly try to get that ultrasound round 35-37 weeks. They might be off at the due date. Not each and every girl ovulates while for the period of their cycle. Women were recognized to ovulate two times in a month, or even for the period of their AF. Try to not pressure an excessive amount of. If they're simply off at the due date, you are simply much more likely to enter hard work earlier than the due date. The youngster on the whole is aware of simply whilst to return. If you get an ultrasound and the health practitioner says the youngster is huge, then do what you suppose is correct. I was once tempted to get my youngster early, however I simply knew he was once going to be k. believe your instincts. Your health practitioner does not advantage from them.
