So tired of having a stomach ache!

food_chick

My nausea is mostly gone, but my stomach is constantly aching.  Almost like I have a stomach bug.  It sucks!  And I never know if I'm going to be constipated or have diarrhea.  Is anyone else feeling this way?  Sometimes it's from heartburn or gas, but I'm not sure that is always it.  I'm just sick of it and it's making me b!tchy!  Poor DH is getting the brunt of it.  I was not like this with my boys, so it's almost more frustrating.  Sorry, vent over.  It helped a little, thank you for listening.

Had similar problems...prob more fiber or some antiacid would help you but ask ur doc first. But more fiber is always good! Also one way for me to do about the gas is to lay on ur side and rub ur tummy where it hurts and it should relive ur gas but remember it has to come out somewhere...lol 

gl hope this helps

LOL, true story.  Thank you.  I should try an antacid more often.  I took one last night and it did help.  I just hate taking medication all the time.  I keep trying to get off the Unisom and still need it most days.  I'll try the side thing, haven't done that yet.  Thank you.

Your welcome! Didn't know you could take Unisome during pregnancy I am having such a hard time falling and staying asleep....

I take the Unisom for nausea, but I do love what it does for my sleep.    I've never been a great sleeper.  If you try it, do the blue tablets, not the gel ones.

Do you have fibroids?  I had almost constant abdominal pain during my first trimester and my doc said she thought it was due to my fibroids.  Thankfully it went away.  I was taking quite a bit of Tylenol just to get through the day!

I don't think so.  I had my a/s yesterday and had earlier u/s, no one has said anything.  It really feels like it's my stomach, it gets worse when I have heartburn, feel nauseas, etc.  I had switched to decaf coffee, but even that was giving me terrible heartburn.  I gave that up too (sad!) but it seems to be helping.
