Belly pains

megzjax

I am 30 weeks 5 days and I have had belly pains the past two days. Dull aches with some sharp pains every once in a while. Kind of like I'm full of gas and need to fart only I don't have to fart at all. My lower back has been bothering me as well. I am a FTM and any unusual pain freaks me out. Any idea what the pain could be?

Sorry, no idea. If you are worried, call your doctor.

Constipated?

I felt like that when I was tremendously constipated back in first tri, but I'd call my doctor if I were you.  Better safe than sorry.

Are you dehydrated?

During my first trimester and some during my second I had really bad stomach pains. They got so bad I had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night.  After a stress test and the "lovely" cervix checks, the doctor ruled it down to indigestion.  Try taking some tums.  If this is what you have, stay away from gassy foods, chewing gum, and drinking out of straws for a few days.  This is all what the doctor had me do and it helped me out a lot. I have not had it since. Hope this helps!

I'm having the same feelings. I'm also a FTM. I just entered 30 weeks. I have a doctor appointment on Tuesday, so I'm going to ask then. I freak out over the littlest things, but then again having never gone through this I don't think it's all that odd.

I was having the same pains and I am a FTM as well and my dr had me get an ultrasound done on my gallbladder. Those pains can apparently be caused by the gallbladder and gallbladder issues are common in the third trimester.
