27 wks and crampy with serious back pain

edited May 2011 in Pregnant
First, I am aware I should call my doctor, but this has been consistent. For fear that I would be put on bedrest, and out of 3 pregnancies this is the longest i have gone without the dreaded words, I opted to avoid it at the doctor. I KNOW how stupid my decision was.... next week i will be telling doctor all about it!
Next... this has been going on for about 3-4 wks now... but more intense the past couple days. My stomach cramps in the lower tummy and it is not consistent, it does come and go. i can't tell if i am contracting- i have never been able to tell. i am not doubling over in pain, but it is uncomfortable.
My lower back is a different situation- i was a gymnast... i injured my tail bone and had to stop. so it is permanently bruised. with my other two i was not nearly in this much pain. my lower back/ tail bone is literally in pain. laying down has no bearing on the situation, nor does morning through night. it just flat out hurts! i was crying yesterday.
so do you ladies think i need to call dr office tomorrow? Hold off?... My appt is Monday morning.

    so i tried calling... doctor is in an "outpatient clinic" that is general medicine, and what not. so many people go there- it's not just obgyn... so i call and get "press 4 for all other clinics"- i press 4... it says "goodbye" and hangs up immediately. i can't get a hold of my doctor!! (I have never had to call before so I had no idea this is the service it gives!)
    hospital is 1 hr away. booo!
  • Hit 0 or any other option to get a hold of a person and tell them the dept you need. I have done that many times. Hope you her help
