Two issues--anyone else experiencing?

Is anyone getting bumps on their tongue? Like canker sores? I have tiny sore bumps--used to get them before I was pregnant but now they are worse! Ugh..Also getting lower abdominal pain--like cramping/pulling/shooting pains.

 I will ask my doctor on the 14th but wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing these issues.

    Right now I have a big fat canker sore/cold sore on my lower lip. Yuck. And it hurts bad. Abreva doesn't even seem to be helping like it usually does. I'm assuming it's hormones and lower immune system. Probably just a virus activating.

    No canker sore but yes stomach pains. I've realized that the pains and cramping are constipation because (lol wow embarrassing but whatever) when I pass gas the pain goes away. Pretty sure the cramps are gas pains and constipation cramps. At least for me. Embarrassed

    ipookie8-You might be right..I never thought about a lower immune system..if the baby is taking our nutrients then that makes total sense..I have "baby brain" I swear..lol..

    Pookie05-You know I get the pains sometimes and then I have to use the bathroom. So maybe you are correct as well..

    I love that I can come here for advice..Makes me feel less alone. Having a sh#$ day today, groan..Just want to lie down..so thanks for the support..

    I haven't... but I used to have a very big problem with canker sores (that seemed to be tied to AF) a few years ago.

    I tried every remedy out there, and only one worked. Pick up a tube of toothpaste that does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (Biotene and Rembrandt Canker Sore are two I know and have used). Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a substance used in a lot of products (including shampoos and household cleaners) that causes foaming. But it doesn't actually really clean anything. The bad thing is that it can cause canker sores (particularly if something else is off in your system to make you more prone to them), and it makes them last longer and hurt a lot worse. 

    Ever since I switched my toothpaste, the canker sores went away. The few times I've had them, they barely hurt and were gone in a few days (before it took over a week for them to disappear). The last time I tried using regular toothpaste for a few days, the canker sores came back. So I'm a firm believer in this stuff!

    As far as the cramping/shooting pains it's most likely your uterus stretching making room for baby. or round ligament pains.

    No bumps on tongue right now.

     

    Had cramps and shooting pains last week, So scared I went in for an us. The baby was fine and the dr said the cramps were normal, I just wasn't used to them with my other pregs.
