    Why do you not see your doctor and how far along are you?

    We have some great experts in this area... doula lc is fantastic... j_9 rocks the casbah... I've pm'd them this thread link...

    My short answer is this... and I'm not an expert in this area... if my mate had regular and strong contractions, id insist on seeing a medical provider.

    It is what they are paid to do... it is what is proper for the situation, even if it's a "false" de facto... when in doubt, you are your top priority.

    I am just 26 weeks, I am going to ring my doctors as soon as the surgery opens the stormach cramps seemed to have eased slightly,hopefully its nothing more than a tummy bug but best to be safe

    Are you pregnant? How far along are you? Are these contractions regular? How far apart are they?

    Do you notice if they go away when you change position? Are you drinking a lot of water or are you chewing ice?

    The pains was like every 3 to 5 minutes from 5am this morning and only just stopped I had the last pain at 6.30am they don't stop when I change position they last about probs less than a minute but very painful,I been decorating last few days think it might be that that's started the cramping pains ?

    You need to take a warm bath some paramacetol/tylenol every 4 hours, and stay off your feet.

    What baby is this for you? Can you describe the contractions? Where are they EXACTLY?

    Please describe your contractions. Where are they? Lower belly? Upper belly? Back?

    I haven't or got any back pain with the cramps,because this is my 4th baby I thought I would have known the difference between contractions or tummy bug,if I was having contractions what would my baby be active because at the moment it is very active?
