Stomach problems!

[Bobbins233218]

Hi all,

Sorry to write on here again but the closer I get to that scan the more worried I am becoming!

I am 11+3 and today I have had griping pains a bit like I have food poisoning or a stomach bug. I don’t think I do have food poisoning because I haven’t really eaten anything that can make you Ill and my partner is fine. I just woke up this morning with it. I have been out for dinner as it was already planned and in between the odd pain, enjoyed and ate all of my meal. The cramps are less than they were this morning and I am possibly a bit windy (sorry!)

Does this sound more like a bug and not baby related? I am freaking out that something bad is happening!

Thank you

Hi! For what I know food poisoning usually results in diarrhoea and vomits. You can get food poisoning at home too.

It can be also a stomach bug, bit usually it will have similar symptoms as the food poisoning.

If you not having any of those, it might be something else.

Hi, it's common to have stomach pain in pregnancy as your bits are moving inside If there's no bleeding I wouldn't worry too much about it. Maybe it's stress related? I used to get stomach pain before every scan. Good luck!!!

Try not too worry about your next scan- some ladies are aware of discomfort in their tummies - have you been in touch with your midwife to discuss your concerns There is a support group on FNUK you might find helpful facebook.com/groups/Pregnan... Good luck for the future

Midwives are still ringing me back from 2 days ago! Good old Christmas holidays! But it has now developed into a full blown stomach bug so just trying to keep the water up. Thanks for the group, will defo join.
