Cramping and constipation/diarrhea

in March 2014 Moms
OK - I'm sure this is normal, but wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing it?

I've had constipation/diarrhea/both at the same time for a couple weeks now.  Starting Monday my lower stomach has started to hurt - it feels mostly like the muscles (it hurts when I sit up/stand up) - and there is a dull pain when stationary.  You hear cramping and call the Dr. and whatnot - but I honestly think I just used my muscles to poop too much lol


Annnnnd that's my TMI for the day ;)

    This happens to me quite a bit, i'll get a dull pain and it'll hurt and will pass within a few minutes. Then when I do need to go to the bathroom it's either diarrhea or it hurts and is hardly nothing. Sometimes I feel like I never go and sometimes I feel like I go alot. Maybe it has to do with what i'm eating.

    You are probably constipated, and the cramping is your bodies way of trying to pass it, then you'll get diarrhea because of the build up... Not sure if this is what you are talking about, afterwards you can definitely get cramps still, not as badly. Just make sure to find things that work for you so you aren't constipated!

    Since it's somewhat related, I wanted to share that I freaked out last night that I broke the baby while trying so hard and contorting myself to have a bowel movement..

    @Sanibel21 - I'd be lying if I said that wasn't searched on Google by myself already ;)
