Avatar f tn Not sure if this is just normal but since 3 this afternoon I've been getting diarrhea type cramps and menstrual type cramps that are getting stronger with time. They don't go away with changing position or anything. Im 33 weeks. Any advice?
Avatar f tn ve been getting what feels like moderate menstrual cramps. I woke up this morning with these cramps, and for the past few hours I've had what feels like really bad diarrhea cramps (sorry, tmi), but no diarrhea. They are sporadic, but intense. Could it be a sign that labor is near? I'm 36 weeks today, btw (didn't even think I'd be able to keep him in this long).
Avatar f tn Worse than menstrual cramps, and reminded me of when I was experiencing contractions from labor. The pain radiated to my lower back also. The pain has been off and on for a whole week now, with some days being better than others. It gets a lot worse if I'm even the slightest bit hungry, and as soon as I eat the cramps stop. I assumed it was food poisoning since this all started immediately after my meal on Monday, but I've never heard of it causing cramps for a week straight! Any ideas?
Avatar n tn Hi, I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction here. I feel like i've exhausted a lot of my options. Here's my problem: About 8 months ago I started getting diarrhea about once a month for about a week before my period. It was so bad during that week that I wouldn't be able to eat anything because i would just come right out. After a few months I went to the doctor and she told me it was endrometriosis and put me on the pill.
Avatar f tn It sounds like diarrhea though. The cramping reminds me of menstrual cramps.
Avatar f tn Symptoms of endometriosis include pelvic pain(usually before menstruation but sometimes during intercourse,urination or defecation), sometimes diarrhea or constipation,irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding,sometimes blood in the urine and inability to conceive. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Avatar f tn Recently, the past 5-7 days, I have been experiencing some uncomfortable cramps, soft of like heavy menstrual cramps accompanied by bad diarrhea. I am now 35 weeks pregnant, I was just curious if anyone else experienced this in the last few weeks of their pregnancy, if it is normal and pregnancy related or if I have just come down with a bug that is unrelated to the pregnancy.
Avatar f tn For me it was menstrual cramps, intestinal cramps like feeling like I had diarrhea but not, pelvic pressure, then I lost my mucus plug.
Avatar f tn I've been having lower back pain and started feeling mild menstrual like cramps now I have pain for like 10 seconds that comes and goes. My belly starts to feel tight. I've been feeling this way all day. What could it be? I'm getting real worried now.
Avatar n tn I cramped from weeks 5-10 perfectly normal! I'm 36+2 now with a healthy baby boy!
1170694 tn?1285097509 re experiencing happens to a lot of woman, including myself. Before the start of my menstrual cycle, during my menstrual cycle and right after my menstrual cycle I get really sick with nausea, diarrhea and sometimes even cramps as well. Since there is usually an unbalance in our hormones all kinds of sicknesses can occur.
1043607 tn?1253236817 ve been having these painful cramps for almost a week now, without vomiting or diarrhea. They almost feel like menstrual cramps - in the back - except for they are higher up, and all through out my midsection. I have never had menstrual cramps that felt like this, and I'm not near my period. I would say it's similar to the feeling you get when you have diarrhea, but I'm going to the bathroom as usual, no constipation either.
Avatar f tn I am a twenty seven year old female who has been having severe menstrual cramps since I first started my period at age twelve. Through the years my periods symptoms have changed some symptoms have gotten worse, changed or minimized. A few years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic fatigue syndrome, gluten intolerance and gastritis.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone! I have a question about menstrual cramps, and any help would be appreciated. I have been suffering extremely painful cramps for years now, ever since I got my first period when I was 13. I'm currently 18 and am going off to college very soon, but I have no idea how to deal with these cramps that incapacitate me for an entire day. My cramps get so bad that I usually faint. For example, when I was around 14 my period came in the morning but I still went to school.
Avatar f tn I am 30 yr old female and have pre ovarian failure and Add to dictionary thyroiditis. I went to the OB 3 separate times for what I thought was menstrual cramps. I had a vaginal ultrasound done two years ago, so no recent one was done in my 3 separate OB visits. The last visit the OB said it could be a gastro issue. I went to gastro and discussed my awful cramps along with symptoms of constipation followed by diarrhea and she ordered a flex sig and celiac test. Both normal.
Avatar f tn No diarrhea by itself is not a sign of preterm labor.
Avatar f tn So I'm almost 37 weeks. I haven't really felt contractions at this point so I'm confused if that's what I'm feeling tonight. All night I've felt constant (what feels like) menstrual cramps. I can't time them because they're always there. But I randomly get really painful (what feels like) poop cramps. I've had diarrhea so they could just be poop cramps, but they hurt like no other and have been going all night.
Avatar f tn I heard that diarrhea is a sign of labor also I was contracting all day long with menstrual cramps every time I contracted but they weren't increasing in pain so I didn't go in. BTW I am 2 cm dilated that I know of and I have lost m plug. My question is do you think I am about to be in labor & how do I treat the hemmeroids?
Avatar f tn Within that week the symptons that I been experiencing were bloating, sore breast and back aches. I recently been experiencing menstrual cramps off and on for three days. Is the menstrual cramps a sign of pregnacy? I am due to take my blood test June 10th 2008. I am praying that this will work. In the beginning, I was kind of disappointed that only one egg fertilized but when I found out that I had a healthy embryo it restored my hope.
Avatar n tn Friday my doctor told me that I am 2 cm dilated and "pretty soft" and then went on to explain that if my water broke or if I had 4 or more contractions in an hour to head on into the ER. It seems pretty direct and from my 1st pregnancy I know I can be at 2 cm for a LONG time, however she seemed pretty sure that I'll be meeting my little boy soon. My question is this: what am I looking for with contractions?
Avatar f tn of cold chills with a combination of nausea and diarrhea. These symptoms only happen once I have laid down for bed and last from 40 minutes to 3 hours. The chills are the worst part-and shake my whole body. They seem to happen before my menstrual period (if that makes a difference) and appear about once every other month to once every three months. I am so confused at what can be causing them. I don't know if it is a food allergy, or hormone related, or anxiety related.
Avatar f tn Nothing in the days beforehand. This time it happened at 27wks, woke up feeling off with random menstrual cramps, then intestinal cramps, then lost mucus plug and contractions started. In the days beforehand, I'd had bh since 18wks and random contractions since 24wks but my dr said it was fine and didn't let on that he was concerned but does make me wonder if he knew what was coming especially as previous preterm labour is a high risk for future preterm labours.
Avatar f tn Women have described true labor contractions as being very similar to severe menstrual cramps or diarrhea cramps.True contractions occur at regular intervals and can last 30-70 seconds (on average, about a minute).
