cramps??

brazzale

I've been having cramps as of last night (I'm 34 weeks today).  They feel like faint menstrual cramps (low, not necessarily painful as much as they are noticeable & annoying). I haven't timed them, so don't know their regularity.  They last quite a long time, go away for a few min, then come back.

 

At first I thought they were maybe diarrhea/gas cramps  because Sunday I took half dose of miralax for constipation (even though I did have a normal BM yesterday...finally), but I'm still having them today.  They don't necessarily feel like gas, more like menstrual cramps.

My initial thought is braxton hicks.  I've been drinking TONS of water today (like every other day), but haven't layed down to see if they go away.   I'm at work,so laying down is kind of awkward, but might go try in my car at lunch. 

 

Any ideas/suggestions?  I have an apt. w/ my Dr. on Thursday.  My gut tells me to see how today goes, if its better tomorrow, not to worry & just mention it on Thursday, but if it's not, call her.
