Gas pains??? Sharp bowel movement pain??

TMI I THINK ~ Hi ladies, this is my first pregnancy, and I have no idea if this is normal or not. I’m experiencing really sharp pains in the morning that i believe are gas pains. It happens right before I go #2. Anyway, it’s THE WORST & extremely sharp. This isn’t what labor pains are like right?? Any idea how to make this go away??

I had the same thing happen to me around the same time when I was pregnant it was the worst gas I ever had! I googled it and I read some things about adult colic. So I think that was probably it. It never happened again so idk for sure🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s all of your hormones making a mess of your system but they’re normal as long as they’re not constant and/or accompanied by bleeding. But just wait this is actually the lesser of the pains you’ll get. Around your second trimester you’ll start becoming afraid of stretching out your legs 😅 nobody warned me about the violent leg cramps that can occur when you straighten out your legs even in your sleep

Following I had stomach issues before this like constant constpation and I’m having the exact same issue as you right now my stomach is so large rn and I’m barely pregnant

Avatar

your gonna have stomach pains while your baby grows and also your body is getting ready so this baby can be carried to full term. To me it sounds like growing pains because they do feel like period cramps

did you find anything that helped

No not really I just kinda had to ride it out it only happened once so I didn’t really try to find a solution that hard

I’ve been experiencing this too and it’s been miserable! The only thing helping me is to take Gas X my dr said it’s safe for pregnancy and it truly does help! Also when your on the toilet try lengthening your torso and sitting tap but taking a deep breath and relaxing and then getting some of that air out if possible, ik it’s strange to talk about this but it is honestly so helpful that way your not straining your stomach and back muscles trying to get rid of all that trapped air causing the discomfort! I also use my heating pad on my stomach and back and that helps to settle my stomach also

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
