Avatar f tn I'm having a really uncomfortable sensation in my lower ab like where you have period cramps and it's almost like constipation pains that come and go idk if it's baby engaging or contractions but it's kinda hurting :(
Avatar f tn 22 weeks. Does anyone have problems with constipation? What do you take for it?
7758733 tn?1402589420 With my son, I threw up a lot in the first trimester. and never had any constipation. Pretty easy going pregnancy! Loved it! pregnancy right now with my daughter is exhausting and painful. I never threw up but had 24 7 nausea all day everyday. always constipated. and utis all the time.. its painful to walk. and I just want to sleep all the time. I don't have an appetite at all and have to force myself to eat. at 26 weeks now I have only gained 7lbs.
Avatar f tn I've been having uterrine contractions & cramps for awhile now along with alot of pressure down there & I feel very nauseous like I need to throw up but can't. I have a feeling it's gonna be a long nighttt!
Avatar f tn Mine felt like bad gas pains and constipation with my second, so I didn't even know I was in labor. With my first, my water broke, so I didn't get contractions until I was already at the hospital, and I don't remember what they felt like. Wondering if the third will be completely different or like one of my first two.
Avatar f tn I have been on 2 prescriptions to stop my nausea and vomiting which also cause severe constipation. I tried drinking lots of water, warm purine juice, MiraLAX, etc and nothing worked. My doctor and home care nurse have me taking an enema every 3 days. It's helps immediately! It's gentle on the stomach and does not cause cramps or contractions. As a matter of fact, I use the same brand they give pregnant women in the hospital...
Avatar f tn What do your first real contractions feel like? Do they start before or after your water breaks?
Avatar f tn Ugh I'm on the same boat with you I'm 36 weeks n been feeling the same!!
Avatar f tn When I went into labor with my daughter, my contractions felt like gas pains and constipation, so I didn't know that I was in labor until several hours later when I started timing them. They were 4 minutes apart by then.
Avatar n tn im 18wks pregnant and have been having mini contractions 6-7 times a day for the past 3 days is this normal?
Avatar f tn t want to be on opiates anymore due to stomach and constipation problems. I took Suboxone for about 1.5 and got off-I did have withdrawls but I took a few days off of work and I managed. On and off I have had pain in my back and my neck and resorted to taking a few Norcos a day-now I find I am going through some withdrawls if I dont take it-I have been trying to cut down by taking half tablets.
Avatar f tn Bh can be different for each pregnancy as far as pain but your stomach gets really tight and hard. Real contractions are similar but they are regular and you can time/predict them.
489099 tn?1286220981 Contractions feel nothing like Braxton Hicks contractions. They are very painful whereas BH contractions are just uncomfortable. It's hard to explain how they feel but you will definitely know when you are having them. They are pretty powerful.
