Has anyone expierenced painful cramps before a BM?

I was woke up by the pain this morning. After I used the restroom the pain went away but I've never experienced pain like that pregnant or not. 

Re: Has anyone expierenced painful cramps before a BM?

  • I do every once in awhile.  I think it's from the gas pressure building up. I've started to make more of an effort to drink more water and eat more fiber to help move things along.

  • Lately as my uterus has been getting bigger, whenever I have gas/have to have a BM, I have stomach cramps.  I can tell it isn't my uterus but it is painful.

  • Happens to me all the time.  I have been diagnosed with IBS though it was in remission until I became pregnant.  Try to eat lots of fiber and drink lots of water.  And whenever you feel the urge to go-go!.  Holding it in makes it so much worse.
  • Exact same thing.  I'm about the same along as you.  I think it's the pressure of my uterus pushing on my large intestine.
