Suggest Treatment For Stomach Cramps And Back Pain During Pregnancy

hi i have a question. i am 26 weeks and 2 days pregnant with my second child. i had a cerclage put in at 16 weeks because i delivered preterm my last pregnancy. he was 6 weeks ealry and i was on bed rest in the hospital 5 weeks before he was born. but this time my doctor put me on bed rest at home because the baby is sitting low and hurts and i feel like it may be putting too much pressure on the cerclage. this past week i wanted to see my doctor because im hurting a little more, but she wasnt free to see me. this past week i have been getting bad back pains it feels like period cramps. then my stomache feels like im doing crunches. this time tonight my back hurt so bad it made me sweat. it went away after 30 min but it came on rapidly i was sitting on the couch it was sudden. what should i do. please help i dont want to be admited to the hospital which my doctor would do if i call her but what do you think i should do. should i go to the triage?

dear
as you have mentioned that you get cramps like period and your abdomen becomes hard.
this can be Braxton Hicks contraction
which eventually becomes painful at the time of labour.
looking to your history you should consult your dr and let her/ him decide what is safe for you.
