A member asked:

I am 29 weeks pregnant i been having cramp pains like period and a lot of pressure, also lower back pain. i been drinking a lot of water is this norma?

Maybe, maybe not: Contact your obstetrician or midwife. Mild cramps are common, but if strong or painful you should make sure you are not in premature labor. The excess thirst could mean high sugar levels; your obstetrician can check that too.
