I've been having some mild cramping all evening (since about 7pm).. not really enough to hurt.. but it feels almost like i'm going to start my period. also in my lower back i've been cramping up a lot. i don't know if its normal, r if i should call the doc or ride it out until the morning and see how i'm feeling then. its not bad cramps.. just irritating.
advice?
also just wanted to add.. there is some clearish-whiteish discharge... and a slightly dizzying headache..
maybe i just need some sleep!?
--update--
i went to sleep lastnight and just slept it off... and i just woke up today! my poor SO stayed up until like 6am just to make sure i was alright and didn't tneed to go to the hospital. but so far today all is well in my belly.. and my LO is moving around liek crazy!
thanks very much for theconcer though! i really appreciate it!
It's most likely nothing to worry about. You might have just overdone it today. You should drink plenty of water and get to bed. If it gets worse or if you are really worried about it, it wouldn't hurt to put a call in to your doctor. That is what he/she is there for. Hope you feel better soon.

I would drink a bunch and lay down. If your headache doesnt go away soon I would probably call in. How is you blood pressure? Any swelling? dizziness??

I hope your feeling better. The girls advice of drinking plenty and laying down is a good idea. I'd still call the doc this morning and let them know just to be safe.

Water water water! Drink lots of it! You're likely to cramp if you're dehydrated, so if you can hydrate yourself and you're still cramping, then I would call the doctor. Hope you feel better, keep us posted.
I hope it went away, but if not I'd definitely suggest calling your doc. Especially since you felt cramping in your lower back too. Labor cramps often start in the lower back.
Otherwise.. what everyone else said: Drink lots of water and try to take it easy.
