[quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc]Well, the pain isn't so bad that I can't function.  I simply notice it.  Maybe I'm a bad judge because I have a relatively high pain threshold? lol

Maybe if it DOESNT go away at all by the weekend, Ill go to the ER but again, if there's nothing they can do, would it really matter?  I have my NT scan on Wednesday then the following week, my regular OB appointment

ETA: I DO thank you all for the words of encouragement.  I'm just a worrier, by nature, and pregnancy after IVF is not a good combo for a worrier!  Maybe a fetal doppler is a worthwhile investment for someone like me?[/quote]

Pumpkin here - I'm a worrier too. Sometimes all the reassurance in the world is just not going to reassure you when you've got something scaring you and that's normal too....  :) Pregnancy is NOT for the faint of heart!!! I personally found things much easier after I started feeling baby move; though of course, then you get paranoid there, too. "Is it just me or is baby moving less today? Ay yi yi!"

It's so easy to obsess. Would a doppler help, or cause you to obsess more? FWIW, baby's heart beats about 160 - 170 bpm right now, so that's how you'd know yours from baby's. It sounds unmistakably like galloping horses.

I think the reason people are saying go to the ER is that they think in the ER they'd give you a workup and rule out anything concerning (gallstones, kidney / bladder infection / and maybe even do an u/s). Though, since the cramps aren't anywhere near baby, I'm not even sure they'd give you an ultrasound. But...your health care provider might. My old OB, Dr. Malcolm Desouza, did an ultrasound at every appointment and I guarantee if I would have called him stressed out like this, he would have allowed me to come in just to ease my worries, but some OBs are just not that into reassuring us crazy pregnant ladies. That's what I was thinking when I said call your OB again; not that I think they should "do" something, but who wants to let a pregnant lady freak out all weekend?

Whatever it is, I hope it goes away so you can feel relaxed and calm again. [/quote]
