8 wks pregnant, experienced tummy ache

Hi there, I’m 8 weeks pregnant and last night I felt bloated (which I know is normal) but I woke up a few times throughout the night with a stomach ache. No cramping, just belly ache. Anyone experienced this in early pregnancy?

Thanks!

Hi, I’m now 17 weeks pregnant and I experienced this last couple of days. It’s been uncomfortable and I been eating healthy so don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks for replying Amy 😊 I’m not going to worry about it as it only lasted one day but will inform my midwife. Did you get yours checked out?

No I haven’t yet and don’t see midwife till 25 weeks now! Thinks it’s just a metabolism slowing down while pregnant and makes me more windy and uncomfortable. Few women have said they get that to, just not had in previous pregnancies so new to me. If u get any advise of midwife let me know. I felt very bloated at the start about same time as you. I did also have cramping x

Well if you’re really worried I’m sure you could speak to your midwife or GP before your next appointment? You probably know that every pregnancy is different so I’m sure you’ll be ok but do get it checked out if you’re concerned even just to put your mind at rest! I can’t wait to start showing like you 😄 You’re looking really well 😊

Will defo let you know what the midwife says 😊 Take it easy x

Don’t be sorry lol, it’s all good. We’re all here to support each other 😊

I didn’t realise that eating certain foods would set you off or that the baby wouldn’t like it? Is that really a thing?...

Yeah course that’s good thing about this app😊

Just when your pregnant your taste buds change and smells of things etc. I’ve gone off coffee, tea and bananas makes me sick, certain things set me off lol xx

Yeah, I get that certain foods put you off. Not experienced that yet but it’s early days. Are you still feeling really tired in your 2nd trimester? I thought it gets easier?

If only lasted one day could of just been something you ate and the pregnancy didn’t like it. You’ll find what your body likes and dislikes through the pregnancy x
