Stomach-related or preg-related?
I started getting shooting pains pretty much throughout my whole belly the past hour or so- since I ate brocolli and cauliflower from the cafeteria here at work. The pains sort of feel like the types of pains I get if I have a stomach bug - right before I vomit.. but they are more widespread.. I'm wondering if I'm just having stomach issues and that I'm feeling the pain more widespread than "normal" b/c of how everything is arranged in there... or if these could be something pregnancy related that I should be concerned about... I keep checking to see if I can feel my uterus hardening.. but it pretty much feels hard to me all the time so I have no idea.
Anyone have have stomach bug or food poisoning incident during pregnancy? How does this compare? Thanks in advance.. trying to ignore it for now and go about my business... but it's not pleasant.. whatever the cause is!

Re: Stomach-related or preg-related?
Good point about the broccoli... but usually if I get gas pain it's much lower.. so I didn't even really consider it. I should try maalox just in case. I wish I wasn't at the office! I think I'm going to take a stroll around the building just to get some fresh air.. maybe the walking will help. Usually if I'm going to vomit it comes on a lot quicker.. so hopefully that's not the case!
I get sharp pains in my upper abdomen and middle of my breastbone whenever I have heartburn. Also, I get gas pains in my whole belly/abdomen area. This pregnancy has been the worst for me intestinal-wise, I'm basically always uncomfortable.
I would think that if you had stomach flu or food poisoning, you'd be nauseaous.
