WWYD??

My DH and I were in Chicago last week while he was working. I definitely ate more crap than usual, but it wouldn't say I was awful. Since Friday my stomach has been crappy. I didn't really eat a real meal while traveling home Thursday- just lots of snacks, then Friday we had no food in the house so I snacked until we ate a normal dinner. That was the last "real" meal I had. I've been having gf toast, plantain chips, bananas, etc. did have chicken soup yesterday. I've been really cramps the last three mornings. It dies down usually by mid day and I've been running to the bathroom or passing gas with the cramps. Baby's kicking away and aside from fatpigue and headache(lack of real meals?), I've been assuming this is intestinal rebellion from my trip. Safe assumption? Would you call the dr.?

    This happened to me when I went on vaca last month!
    TMI- have you had a bowel movement?
    I had Lots of cramping and was super uncomfortable. Turns out I was extremely constipated and dehydrated!

    I would call your dr if you're concerned, but until then
    Drink lots of fluids and high fiber meals!

  • Nope, definitely not constipated...more the opposite, though it's slowed down, which is why I'm thinking it's working its way out.

  • I had major stomach issues after going a little wild with the greasy food at our county fair last weekend.  It was pretty painful but baby was moving non-stop so I held out and felt better in the morning.

    Since baby's moving just fine, I'd probably wait another day or so and then call if you're still not feeling well. If you're worried, a quick chat with a nurse might put your mind at ease though!

    Hope you feel better soon!

  • This has happened to me a few times. And it's always over the weekend. I eat the same thing, pretty healthy, lots of fruit/veggies/water through the week because I pack lunches at work, but when the weekend comes, I'm effed.

    And normally, if I had a stomach ache, it would resolve itself in a few hours. Surely a half a day. But now it seems to take 2 days for me to feel normal again.

    Were you also eating larger portions? I'm a volume eater, and I could get away with that before, because 1) I had space in my stomach and 2) I ran 5-10 miles a day. Now, I just can't. I get physically sick if I eat a bunch. If I get a big portion at a restaurant, I put half aside. I'm still gonna eat that food, dude. I'm just gonna eat it later.

  • Too much deep dish pizza!?
    Oh no! Sorry you aren't feeling well.
    I'd call. (But I'm a big worrier)

    I have eaten very healthy this whole pregnancy and then my husband and I went out for cheese sticks, chips, burgers, fries, etc...I was in horrible pain the next day.

    The OB nurse told me to pamper myself and drink a lot. She said if it got worse to call back. It was miserable but it passed.

    Good luck.

  • You probably need to eat some actual food, With all the snacking and stuff when you're hungry you probably have a lot of air etc built up which causes gas and stomach pains. Eat something substantial! Snacks aren't going to stick with you, so to say...

  • Thanks, everyone. I suspect it might have been the cheese and caramel popcorn that I binged on the last day. I'll give it another day and stay bland.
