I lasted through the night and called the doctor's office first thing this morning. I continued to have the same cramping and back aches throughout the night and only got about 4 hours of sleep.
The doctor checked my cervix and it's still long and closed. Phew! She checked both babies heartbeats and they were both strong.
So, we have one or two explanations. I have a bladder infection or I might have some scar tissue as a result of my tubal pregnancy surgery and as my uterus grows, it's not only pulling on my ligaments but it's also pulling at the adhesions. She took a urine sample and sent that to the lab so I'll know by tomorrow if I need antibiotics.
She told me to rest in bed for the rest of the day and said I might benefit from a support belt. She said I'm measuring the same as a singleton pregnancy at 27 weeks.
I am so happy that I went. Last night was one of the worst nights of my life. I kept praying that the cramping would just go away and when it didn't, I got really scared. Thanks to everyone for your concerns - for now, crisis has been diverted! :)
On a happier note, the doctor made a guess on the babies' sexes. It was based on heartbeats alone so I'm not putting much into it but... she thinks it's a boy and a girl. Baby A's heartbeat was still in the 160's and Baby B's had dropped to 145. So, she thinks B is a boy.
I think it's nap time now.

I'm glad you decided to go and get checked out and I'm thrilled to hear that everything is ok with the babies.
I remember when I was pregnant with my twins. I had a lot of cramping and it really scared me. My doctor reminded me that with twins, your uterus is growing so quickly that it's common. But it still scared me EVERY time it happened!!!
Good luck with your babies!
