Another annoying "is this normal" post...

Sorry to be "that girl" again..but this is really my only source for this stuff!

The other day, I had really bad gas pains. My lower belly hurt something awful. I was finally able to get relief from that and the constipation (yay!) yesterday. However, I'm left with this pain right under my belly, but inside. it kinda feels like my insides are bruised or something. Is this just things growing and shifting more, causing the pain? I swear, I worry at every little thing. I hate that I do that!

Anyone else get this too? It's especially bad when I cough or sneeze (which i do a lot of, unfortunately!)

I had horrible pain when gas moved past my uterus early on - that part is definitely totally normal.  Most likely the pain you are left with is nothing to worry - just maybe from all the pressure from yesterday?  Could be RLP too especially since it hurts worse when you sneeze and cough.  Just things stretching and growing.  I would say it if keeps up past today or tomorrow maybe call your doc and see what they say.

Thanks, ladies. I figured it was probably normal...but felt that need to have others say they've had it too to make me feel more normal!

It isn't a horrible pain...just something that is there enough to be noticeable. I have my first OB appointment on Wednesday, so I will probably wait and mention it then unless something happens that makes it worse.

It just sucks not feeling "normal"....but I'm kinda thankful for these feelings too...reminds me that I've got something cookin' in there!
