Q: Tiny Dilemma That I Need Help With!

Ladies,

i am having a bit of a dilemma. Normally around this time in my pregnancies I get these sharp pains in my lower abdomen to my lower back, I always worry about them and go to the emergency room to find out that it was nothing at all. So it was a wasted day, time and money. I am having those same pains again, only they are a little higher. I am not sure if I should go to the e.R. Or wait for my next appointment with my doctor. They aren’t unbearable or constant. They are less consistent than braxton hicks, but when I get them they are very noticeable. So what would you do if you were in this situation?

Thanks,
karlee

Thanks for the reply, I gave the doctor a call and the nurse said to come on in and they would check me out. So at least I don't have to wait 4 hours in the emergency room. Thank you again.

Well it is just as I suspected, nothing is wrong, the baby is just getting stuck and just kicking hard enough to cause pains. The doctor said that everything looked great, his heartrate was good and he is just over 5lbs already! Man I am carrying a giant! Lol ok well I need to get some work done, thanks again erin.
