Pain and nausea
FTM and I know to expect growing pains and aches somethings. But is it supposed to be constant? I'm 26 weeks pregnant and this week has been miserable. I've had back pain, leg pain, arm pain. But most recently stomach pain/tightness to the point of nausea and not sleeping. I've thrown up and had diarrhea (which I never really have any nausea or morning sickness if any type in my first trimester). My appetite is non existent bc it hurts too bad. Everything I see and heard said these pains are normal and should last only a few minutes at a time. But mine are constant and then random bursts of worse. Anyone else experience something similar or have advice to help? Thank you

Have you had these symptoms for a while or just this week? It sounds like you might have a virus/ it might not be pregnancy related at all. If they're not new, I'd suggest talking with your OB. Trust your gut.
Since you've been getting sick, please please be hydrating as much as you can- electrolyte drinks like Gatorade if you can stomach them. Being even slightly dehydrated during pregnancy can make cramps sooo much worse. If you can't keep anything down and you keep getting sicker, you should go get IV fluids and maybe some stomach meds. I'd call ahead and see if they want you to go to the ER or to Labor and Delivery. I had to go to L&D a lot for various things. Even non-pregnancy things, they just want to make sure baby is okay. Like I had to go to L&D when I got pneumonia, etc.
Thank you. I did call and they suggested I come in to get checked to be sure. It has been a few days but in those few days I've barely eaten anything. I try to drink more water but I've probably never drank enough before pregnancy so I'm sure that I haven't had enough water in the last few day
