Hi, for the last few nights I have been waking up due to cramping. It feels like im about to get my period. I feel like I need to pass gas or go to the toilet but can't. I don't know how to relieve this pain, it keeps me awake for hours. No bleeding or spotting. Anyone else experiencing something similar? Is there anything you take to help with digestion?

I’m dealing with the same. It was really bad in the beginning of my first trimester, went away while new symptoms appeared, and now that those are gone it’s back lol no advice, just know you’re not alone

I’m in my third trimester now and I had been experiencing cramping similar to period cramps. I was told it’s just the pain of everything stretching out as baby is growing and it’s completely normal. If it’s indigestion there wasn’t really anything I took that helped but I did find it was worse when I drank milk. I’ve not had it bad since cutting my milk intake down or switching to oat/coconut milk

I’ve noticed I feel a lot more in terms of stretching and pulling overnight, and definitely feel a lot more gassy. I’m not sure whether it feels like it’s ‘worse’ because you’re just lying in bed and not really moving much whereas in day you’re up and about and distracted if that makes sense? I also find that the longer I lie there thinking about it the worse it gets because I’m hyper focused on it! I’ve found that getting up for a few minutes helps slightly, although it’s terrible for my sleep quality!!
On a completely separate note, please could someone try to invite me to this group? There’s something wrong with my app that every time I try to join a group it tells me the group no longer exists even though it clearly does! X

I'm exactly the same! The pain wakes me up. Just hot water bottles for me

they are so uncomfortable 😣 im having them during the day sometimes as well but I don't pay as much attention to it when im working. I have a hard time passing gas so im not sure if this has actually to do with my digestion. I have a scan tomorrow to see if everything is ok 🙏

I have the same problem. Get some colace it'll help your digestive tract

I’ve had dull cramping sometimes at night I’m 8 weeks. Mine doesn’t wake me but it’s annoying going to sleep. I’m becoming restless at night. I have to snack to fall asleep. LOL
