Is Severe Pain In Lower And Mid Abdomen, Being Gassy During Pregnancy Serious?

It is now 6:15pm and I started with pain in my lower and mid abdominal at 3:30am. It hurts a lot to the point of having to stop and kind of bend down. I then pass gas and the pain is less painful but still not gone... I am currently 30 weeks pregnant with my first child. Should I go in to ER and have it check out or should I wait till tomorrow and see if in 24 hrs it goes away?

If pain is intermittant and your uterus becomes tight during pain, then it is uterine contraction and you have to consult your doctor soon. But if pain is not associated with tightness in abdomen and fetal movements are good then I advice you to take complete rest and watch for movements carefully. If there is any vaginal watery discharge/leakage than also consult doctor immediately.
