Q: 2nd trimester cramping

hello everyone! i was just curious if anyone else has had what i am experiencing. ive read so much online that i am now confused and just want to know from someone who has been there/done that. im 24 weeks pregnant with my first and for the last 2 days have been having menstrual like cramping off and on. it seems to be worse at night. the night before last i woke up with them and honestly felt like i was fixing to start my period. it happened a few times yesterday and then this morning about 4-5 times in the last couple of hours. no bleeding or back pain. just that icky feeling like before you start your period. i also was told a couple of weeks ago that i have a 'low lying' placenta. it doesnt cover my cervix or even partially cover it which the doctor said was really indictive that it would migrate upwards as my uterus enlarges. anyways, im a worry wart to begin with and if they dont go away by tomorrow i will call my dr (its sunday, i dont want to bother him on his only day off). in the meantime, if any of you mothers or mothers to be have experience with this, please let me know. thank you all soo soo soo much!

Call your doctor tomorrow and check in. I had something called irritable uterus and it caused a crampy feeling.
