    Im 30 weeks pregnant and I have cramping in my lower back
    For the past 2 days I have got sick often and feeling blah also having pains everyonce in awhile. Today I feel the same except I have cramping in my lower back, like I am on my period. My baby is still moving just fine. I have tried resting, putting my legs up and relaxing in the tub. I feel fine in doing these things, but when I am done it just goes right back to the cramping and the blahs. It does help me to not feel so sick but that's about it. I need to know should I be worried!

    Do you feel any of it come around towards the front? Odds are you are experiencing braxton hicks contractions, or warm-up contractions. Could also be you are fighting a bug.

    Keep track of them... if you notice more than 4 or 5 in an hour, get plenty to drink, change your activity. If they subside, they are likely not a concern. If they continue to be frequent, give your midwife or doctor a ring and check in. They may want you to go in and get monitored and check to see if they are preterm labor contractions. Some women do feel ill soon before labour begins or as things are getting started.

    When in doubt, call them as they would much rather you call and have it be OK, than not to call and have something going on that they would have liked to have seen you for sooner.
