my stomach is killing me (TMI sorry)

Hi,

I'm sorry to have to post this less than lovely question, but I'm so miserable. Every day after lunch my stomach starts to bloat up, which I can handle. But a few times a week it turns into really painful gas, gas that isn't moving!! It eventually moves when I get home and can lie down, that's how I know it's gas, sorry to be so detailed. Well now the latest twist is that for several days my #2s are frequent and loose. I've tried eliminating things from my diet that may be upsetting it, but it doesn't seem to matter what I eat. I worry about not eating enough for the babies. I think I'm to the point that I"ll call my doctor tomorrow, since every day at work I worry that I'll have to leave early before it gets unbearable, and some days I do.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I hope it's pregnancy related stomach upset and not some kind of infection.

 

Don't be sorry! I would call the doctor, just to be on the safe side. Please let us know how you make out and I hope you feel better!

 

I feel your pain! I'm going through the same thing, except my pain is mostly in the mornings. I just try to walk around a bit and I rub on my stomach until it moves and I can get comfortable. I've even started to loose weight, but when I asked my OB she wasn't worried about it.

 

IVE WONDERED THE SAME THING. USUALLY #2 IS WELL........NOT EASY, BUT LATELY VERY LOOSE AND FREQUENT. IVE BEEN WONDERING WHY, I THOUGHT MABY IT'S CUZ I TAKE SOOOO MANY TUMS NOW. LET US KNOW WHAT YOUR DOC SAYS. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T MOVE AT NIGHT WHEN I GET THE GAS PAIN ATTACKS ALSO.

 

depending on how far along you are, loose stools can be a sign of impending labor, but for you, it could just be first trimester woes.....sux but does get better..soon you will be happy to have a BM without having to take metamucil
