phoning the on call nurse was a mistake :(

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Well I was nervous before and now I'm really freaking out. Think calling the on call nurse with question was a mistake, I was hoping for comfort and got the exact opposite.

I explained my cramping I've been having the past few days, which hasn't been too bad, but this afternoon I woke up from a nap with such intense cramping I broke out in a sweat and felt a little nauseous followed by light headed, but after I drank a glass of water and ate a slice of toast the dizziness and nausea were gone and slapping an ice pack on my low back made me cool off.

My legs still feel a wobbly and a little crampy, but the pain is gone now.

Somehow from everything I explained to her multiple times she said well if you're having intense pain like that 3 days in a row go the ER you're having an ectopic. And now I'm in tears freaking out, I don't think I'm having an ectopic, I don't have side pains and the cramps aren't really in my uterus just sometimes. Other times it's my hips, legs and back. Many ladies here were reassuring that it was normal and I've only had it happen so intense like it happened but within the time span of on the phone with her I feel better with no pain. But now I'm scared

I have been having cramping in my hips, back and some in my gut but I had an ultrasound at 6weeks and baby was there with a heartbeat. I think and hope you and baby are okay. Do you have a doctors apt scheduled soon? Make sure to tell them everything. Even at only 9weeks I have been having to sleep with a pillow in between my legs to help alil with cramping. If any bleeding make sure to go in but if not try to relaxe.

It also frustrated me that she took my upper back pain as a symptom, I've had that for a few years after a car accident I was in, but she totally ignored me explaining that I should have just said no.

 

[hoping4bbynm2]

Eating and lots of water seem to help alot as well!!

 

[hoping4bbynm2]

I have 2 other children and my back pain is very persistent all the time!!

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not alone in cramping. Tomorrow I'm going in to confirm the pregnancy and I'll speak with them then, and also call my OB/GYN. I called my GYNO the first time the severe cramps happened, but I hadn't tested yet and she said it could have been a cyst or just something funky and not to worry unless it happens a lot. The cramps are happening, but the intense ones that make me break into a sweat have only happened twice, both when I've been sleeping and was over heated. I think I'll try the pillow between my legs, that might help. And I'm increasing my water, I barely had enough yesterday as I was out at the dentist.

Definitely drink more water and try the pillow. At night I have noticed that at some points I get extremely warm and have to uncover. Probably just horomones. And being gassy can cause cramping as well.

I'll definitely drink more water, I've been sipping at it nonstop since getting off the phone. The cramps are gone for now, but my legs feel weak and wobbly like I've just run really fast or had an adrenaline rush.

It must be the horomones, I'm usually the one wearing more blankets than DH, but last night I kept scooting away because he's too warm to be close!!

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

By the way, I followed the link in your siggy for the gender predictor, I'm guessed a girl too Can't wait to see how those crazy predictions work out.

 

[hoping4bbynm2]

Same here, hubby doesnt even want to be around me cause im on fire half the time! Make sure to snack alot too. Not eating makes me feel so much worse!!

 

[hoping4bbynm2]

Haha I have two boys so I hope its true!

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Aw haha, that would be so sweet two have a little girl with two older brothers

This is our first, DH is set on having a boy first and I'm just with either.

I would definitely get checked out ASAP. The problem with pain is that nerves are funny and the location of where you are feeling pain sensations isn't always where the pain is originating from. This is why some women experience shoulder pain while having an ectopic, even though it has nothing to do with your shoulder.

If the intense cramps come back I will for sure go get checked out. But I'm hoping they don't return so I can just go see my doc tomorrow.

I hope all is well with you, mild cramping is ok but intense cramping that is ongoing is not too good. If it continues to then go to the er, my sister had cramping at 6 weeks and at 7 or 8 weeks found out it as twins

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Oh goodness! what a surprise for your sister

The cramps have only been really bad twice, the first time was 11dpo (day before I tested) and then again this morning. I've only had mild cramping and leg aches in between. Definitely keeping a close eye on how I'm feeling
