Early pregnancy gas pains
Common Questions and Answers about Early pregnancy gas pains
pregnant
I have heard of many others having early cramping which is perfectly normal. I have only had the pains like emw11 mentions.
So I'm 6w 5d and for the past 2 weeks I've been waking up feeling extremely sick and going straight to the toilet for #2 with the worst gas pains ever! I'm not a first time mom (I have a 1yr old) but never experienced direah as bad as this time around. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to settle a stomach in the morning?
Can early labor feel sort of like gas pains? I'm 39+ 1 and last night started new pains... It hahalf feels like gas pains but half doesn't/feels new. I had a dr apt this morning and she said I'm not dilated but more than 50% effaced. Did anyone have similar pains before going into labor?
Gas pains in pregnancy are killer! You may feel it all over as your intestines snake around in your belly so it definitely could start in your back and move to the front. I just read the blog of an OBGYN nurse who said they had a woman come in and she was in so much abdominal pain (she was early, too, 1st trimester) and then the lady just let one and was fine. So I wouldn't go to the OBGYN for that... see if relieving yourself helps with all the pressure!
I started feeling symptoms 2 weeks before my period... I had been trying to get pregnant for 3 years with my husband and couldn't.
I do not remember feeling the fluttering early in my pregnancy with my first one, which I carried to 37 and a half weeks. And my second and third pregnancies didn't get passed several weeks, as I miscarried. But with this one, I am now 11 weeks and 4 days. Is it too early to feel flutters? I know it isn't gas and I've read that women may or may not feel it this early. Any advice?
If it's under your ribs I'm more inclined to say you're having some intense gas pains. Bc 5 to 6 weeks your uterus isn't even above your pelvic bone yet. But I'm no doctor. I would def call your ob.
Some cramps are expected in pregnancy due to hormonal changes, gas, constipation etc. If you have a tipped or retroverted uterus then this can also cause pain. It can also be due to infection. Any sharp pain in the abdomen can be due to gas, threatened abortion, infection or due to unrelated causes such as kidney or gall bladder stones.
In your case since it has been happening for last so many weeks, it must be gas.
does anybody else have gas pains? I'm 5 1/2 weeks along and this is the 2nd time in the past week I have had horrible gas pains. They aren't like cramps the are higher like under my ribs. I never experienced thus with my first pregnancy.
I'm having horrible gas pains at night the last two days..I can't even sleep. I feel like my uterus is contracting. I'm 13w 1d. Anyone else go through this. Tips hints help??
If they come and go, it is possible that they are cause by the constipation and increase in gas that often accompany early pregnancy. To help with this, you could try increasing your water intake and talk to your doctor about using a stool softener or a simethicone product to help with gas. If however you are not experiencing constipation or gas and the pain continues, I recommend that you speak to your doctor right away to make sure that there is not another cause.
Ok this is my third pregnancy so I know what it feels like to have contractions.. A couple hours ago I started hurting in my stomach. It was like my stomach was balling up. It hurt so bad to the point I wanted to cry. The first thing my husband asked me was if I was having contractions but I didn't think you could have them or bh this early in pregnancy. I will be 17 weeks tomorrow. I know I have been so extremely stressed out lately and I don't know if that could be causing this.
I have had many pains with my pregnancy but I just had a u/s yesterday and everything was great.
Try not to worry. let the doctor know about spotting. The pains could be completely harmless.
Last Thursday I was so misreable. My pain got worse all day and by Thursday night I would have swore I was on my way to m/c. I had the worst pains and couldn't stand to be on my feet. But Friday morning I was fine and on Monday the u/s was good.
I had 2 seperate occasions with severe gas pains during this pregnancy it was unreal!..
I noticed that it hurt to push gas out whenever I was always constipated. Are you also? Since I'm farther along in my pregnancy the constipation seems to have stopped and I just fart a lot more often now lol. It gets kinda embarassing but it's just something some of us ladies have to deal with!
Congratulations on your pregnancy, but I am sorry you are feeling so poorly. Constipation is one of the early symptoms of pregnancy. If you have been constipated it could cause your stomach pains. Additionally, you would have increased discomfort after eating and gas pains. There are over-the-counter stool softeners that are safe to take while pregnant. Medications that contain simethicone will help with gas pain.
38 weeks & it feels like I'm having mild gas pains but then again they feel like contractions. They are not that strong but they have been lasting for an hour. Could I be in labor?
