2nd Trimester

Excruciating Pain Across Stomach!?!

This morning I was feeling flutters all over my stomach for the first time. I'm 16 weeks along. In the evening I awoke to excruciating pain across my entire stomach and under my rib cage lasting for 4 hours. Is this ligament stretching or something worse? Can this pain hurt the baby?

Re: Excruciating Pain Across Stomach!?!

  • If it continues and stays in your ribs it could be your gallbladder. Definitely check with your doctor. Stretching pains are usually more in your lower abdomen.

  • I would say gallbladder too.  I had mine out a few years ago and experienced what I tell people felt like a contraction that you experience during childbirth, only it is in your chest and it doesn't stop for an hour.

  • If you are experiencing truly excrutiating abdominal pain, get off the internet and call your doctor.
