When should I worry about menstrual type cramps?

Okay I've been having menstrual like cramps since friday. They seemed to go away when I layed down, but this morning I woke up with them, and it doesn't seem to be going away. I've taken Tylenol and layed around all day, but I still have them.
I've got an ultrasound and Dr. appt Tuesday. Should I just wait till then or should I go ahead and call the Dr on Call tonight?
WWYD?

when in doubt call the doc on call, they will be able to better answer your questions and determine if you should come in

 

Call right away....in fact go to L/D.

 

I would call to be sure they are BH and not causing any cervical changes.

 

i would call...it's better to play it safe

 

I would call your Dr as well just to be safe...but my rule of thumb is if they're rhythmic, then I consider them to be very serious.

If it's just a tightening or occasional stretching it's probably BH...but again, in your case since it's your body and not mine (and I can't really determine from your post what the cramps are really like) then I'd say call your Dr.

 

I called the Dr on call. He said as long as they were not timeable and my uterus is not feeling hard, everything should be fine. If I have any changes to go to L&D otherwise when I go back tues, they will check my cervix and urine (to make sure no UTI). So if anything changes I'll head to L&D. For now, it's water and Tylenol

 

I am glad you called! GOOD LUCK!!

 

How are you feeling now??

 

hope you are feeling better,talking with the Dr hopefully will make you sleep easier tonight!

 

It is starting to feel better now after about 4 huge glasses of water. I swear one day I'm going to float away. I'll definately feel much better after they measure my cervix tuesday. Hopefully it is still closed and tight.

 

HUGS - glad you called and are feeling a bit better. Yes, after you find out Tues, you'll hopefully have more relief!

 

Drink fluids!!! Water, Water, Water...could be your body way of saying you need more.

 

Yep I've heard the thing about the fluids also. How strange! I'm glad it's nothing and that you're feeling better.
