Really bad pains 😩

[Monkey8609]

Hey I’m 6 weeks & this will be my first! The last few days I’ve had sevear belly pains, last night in bed I was in agony & this afternoon again at work & lasted about 20mins! Not had any bleeding or discharge, is this normal ladies? I understand that my body is changing but Disnt think the pain would be that much.

Hi Hun if I was you I would go to the early pregnancy unit or a&e and tell them what’s happening just to be on the safe side. Xx

Yeah ring EPU they should give u a scan to check.

Constipation? I got bad pains I thought were cramps. Had me lying on the floor bawling. Turns out I was packing. Literally. Never been so sore. Much better with kiwi fruit and stool softener.

That is what I am experiencing - severe cramps from constipation. Must be the hormones - fluids and natural remedy with figs helping, but still a stuggle.

At least I hope it is not baby cramps...but once I get some relief the pains go.

I thought at first it was those ligament pains people were talking about. No blood or anything else unsual. I feel like no one talks about this stuff!! I’m a nurse and I had no idea about the severity of the constipation haha

[Hidden in reply to xokimsaraxo]

I am glad you mentioned it - I went through a failed round of IVF and the hormones badly effected my bowels with severe cramps like never before - so I knew what they felt like.

This is a natural pregancy but same problem. Managing it as much as I can. True - nobody tells u about it!

I had exactly the same, I went to the early pregnancy unit and had a scan at 4 weeks, which couldn’t tell much, and then at 6 weeks which turned out to be over 7 weeks, all was fine an I saw the heartbeat which put my mind at rest a little. Defo get checked out but try not to worry as sounds quite normal

Thank you everyone for your replies, I’ve had 2 bad episodes yesterday which lasted about 30mins while at work which was interesting! But I’ve had nothing today so fingers crossed it has passed! 🤞🏼 Have my first appointment on the 21st hopefully I can see it out until then x

I had really bad pains from 3 - 12 weeks. No bleeding or changes in discharge, the pains would wake me up at night and was literally agony. I went to the early pregnancy unit for scans at 6, 8 and 10 weeks and they said it could’ve been because of how low down the baby had implanted but everything turned out to be fine. I’m now 25 weeks pregnant and everything’s still going well so don’t be too worried, . Try getting some constipation relief, I found regular bowel movements reduced the frequency of the cramping. Good luck!
