crampy

  • 28 Weeks and I Lost My Mucous Plug.

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I am 28 weeks and I lost my plug 4 days ago. I have been crampy, I have back pain and I have nausea real bad. I saw my DR. yesterday but he is acting so calm and like there is nothing to be concerned about. This is my 4th baby... I am so worried that I am in the early stages of labor and I want my baby to be healthy.

    My Dr. did check me yesterday and he said that I did lose the plug and that I am starting to thin out but I am not dilated?? Now what??? I am so concerned; please help!

  • Spotting at 7 Weeks

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I just started spotting. I've had a miscarriage in the past and am extremely nervous.

    The bleeding is very light, sort of mucousy, and I'm only slightly crampy, but I've been slightly crampy for weeks now. Could this be late implantation? Or should I be worried that it's something more serious?

    Thank you!

  • Single Severe Contraction-like Pain

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    This is my second pregnancy. Last night around 5:30 I had this wicked pain. It was such a bad pain that I was over my chair swaying back and forth waiting for husband to walk in the door and bring me to the hospital. It felt like a contraction but it lasted way to long for it to be a contraction. I thought contractions only last 1-7 minutes, but I guess I can be wrong.
