stomach pains during the first trimester of pregnancy

So I have this job ths requires heavy lifting. I've been able to do it before but lately I've been getting strong pains in my stomach when moving the boxes. Is this ok and natural or should I go get checked out and maybe get some restrictions?

This is my first pregnancy and I'm in the second trimester and have been experiencing very painful cramping since before I found out I was pregnant. The doctor had said it was growing pains but should be gone by the end of the first trimester. I'm still having these pains. What could it be?

With my first pregnancy i had an ultrasound at 6weeks and 11weeks and both times they had to do it internally. Sleeping alot is normal. Fatigue is very big during the first trimester. It should get better during the second then pick back up during the third. Congrats!!

Lol things can be very scary your first time , I had the stomach muscles all the time like when I stood up . But this pregnancy I get Charlie horses almost every night !

I had thst during the night in my first trimester! It was like a sharp cramping unbearable pain!

Some abdominal cramping during pregnancy can be normal. In the first trimester its common to get round ligament pain. As your uterus grows, the stretching can cause twinges, cramps, pulling sensations, or sharp pains on one or both sides of your lower abdomen.

I had been to my doc yesterday n she told me told expect pains in 2nd trimester coz the baby is growing rapidly and so is the stomach. This is my first. ... I too feel pulling sensations all over my stomach now.

m almost five months and have only gained seven. Is because of all the morning sickness I had during the first trimester.

I had small stomach cramps my entire first trimester but i had that with my first pregnancy as well so i knew it wasn't anything bad but if yours are really hurting you and your heart rate is up I'd call your birthing center if your Dr's office isn't open.

i am not constipated and no blood to suspect hemmaeroids.

My stomach got hard at the end of my first trimester!

I agree it sounds like ligament pains. With my 2nd pregnancy I got a belly band for the pain, it helped a lot. It helps to support the weight and take pressure off your ligaments. I only needed it during my 2nd trimester and surprisingly didn't need it my 3rd. I ordered mine off of Amazon.

The general rule of thumb is to stick to what your body is used to. So if you always excercised alot, it's fine, although as things progress you might want to tone it down a bit. However, mid pregnancy is not the time to start anything strenous..lol. Just listen to your body, and you'll be fine.

If it worries you more, just ask your doctor. :) it went away for me about the end of first trimester beginning of second. Now I'm nineteen weeks and only thing killing me is how much I gotta pee and my nipples hurting!

The sharp pains could be his penis hitting against your cervix. Also, sex is okay during pregnancy unless your doctor tells you no. And it's pretty normal to feel bad about "not pleasing your man" but he will just have to understand how you are feeling because for many women it only gets worse during the third trimester and when you begin to show.

Me too! This little kangaroo is hungry! I'll get up in the middle of the night stomach growling with hunger. (I've woken up my partner with my stomach growls) I keep water next to me at all times but I found the best solution for me is those mini Gatorade bottles and some cheese or a simply gogurt. And I'm able to fall back asleep with in a few minutes. I made the mistake a few times of trying to just have water and tough it out I felt soo hungover the rest of the day not worth it.

Sometimes pregnancy can trigger IBS symptoms. Trust me, I spent most of my 1st trimester freaking out, thinking I was going to lose my baby. But it is just the IBS flaring up because of the hormones. I mean, I would wake up in the middle of the night with brutal cramps, thinking I was having a miscarriage, and it ended up being the other, thank God. Tell your doctor about it. Mine was not concerned at all. Just make sure you are drinking lots of fluids.

I was not tired in first pregnancy, first trimester.

My first pregnancy was very easy no symptoms at all.Just a giant stomach. Now I'm am pregnant with my second almost four years later and just in my first trimester and I am sick all the time. Labor during my first pregnancy wasn't difficult just long. I wanted to go natural but turns out the pain was too much for me. Good luck and don't worry because what ever pain you go through you'll forget all about it when its over and you're holding your new baby.

I had that happen when I was in my first trimester. I would just snack on cheeze-its, teddy grams, jello, pudding. A little bit of something is better than nothing. Snacking was very helpful fof me.

Has anyone experience occasional random shooting pain in the stomach/belly during pregnancy? I don't remember having them with my first pregnancy. Not sure how concerned I should be or if it is a part of normal growth.

My first pregnancy I craved dairy like crazy and ate cereal almost non stop. This pregnancy I get a sick stomach after eating dairy foods and it's progressing to even the most minor dairy consumption. Anyone else experience this? Thanks!

Thanks for the response...I am going to talk to my doc on Wednesday. Tylenol doesn't seem to help me much (I was always an advil taker) so I will talk with him and see what he suggests. Thanks for the post!

I used to get it all the time with my last pregnancy. The doctor told me that the baby could be laying on a nerve that ends up triggering the pain and spasms.
