Belly bug or something I should worry about?

[raisin]

Hoping someone can reassure me. This morning I woke up and was feeling ill. Fatigued and hot and then got bad stomach cramps. Had bowel movement (sorry tmi) but then that stopped and the cramps kept coming and going in waves. I also got lower back pain and with every cramp feel like vomiting.

I called triage and they said take paracetamol and have liquids and call back if I'm not better after a few hours.

For the next 2 hours I got these cramps every 15mins or so and they last about 60 seconds. I've now woken from a nap and although the tightening has stopped I have a constant dull ache and feel nauseous.

Not sure what I'm expecting anyone to say but should I call triage again? The hospital is a good 40min drive away. Im only 25 weeks but my first came at 35 and I'm a little nervous. Feel rather silly if its just a stomach bug though!

Id probably go for a peace of mind, but I have no experience. Hope all is well!

I always say, if in doubt, go and see someone. It's their job to make sure you are okay and if god forbid you didn't go and something did happen, you would kick yourself forever.
For this reason I always like to seek advice if I'm in doubt.

Thanks guys.

I just rang triage. They aren't too worried at this point but said I need to keep an eye on the tightenings and ring back if it gets worse. Pregnancy is nerve-wrecking and scary
