Questions from a first timer!

Happy Wednesday everybody! I just had my A/S and we're having a boy! So excited--- however since the day before my ultrasound I've been having more issues with gas/upset stomach. At first I thought it was just nerves about the scan but I've been having stomach aches on and off since then. No fever or feeling bad just lots of pooping (sorry tmi) this us weird to me because I've had such issues with constipation already! Help! Is this normal? Should I take anything? Also- just wondering about everyone's thoughts about wine during pregnancy... A lot of my friends have had a glass once a week during their entire pregnancy. I've been wanting a glass but I'm scared! Our A/S showed a perfect little boy but I'm so nervous ill mess something up. Words of wisdom are welcome!

    I would talk to your OB. And next time, probably write down the questions you have so you can ask before you leave the office.

    EtA: some people get the opposite of constipated. Stay hydrated.
    If you feel comfortable having wine, do it. Many girls here do, many don't.

  • If you're concerned, chat with your OB. 

    As per the wine question, you're going to get some conflicting answers here. If you do a little research, you'll find the answers are murky, but more and more, a glass or two in moderation is becoming acceptable for pregnant women, even if doctors are still warning against it. I say go with what you're comfortable with. If you're going to be worrying about the baby the whole time you're drinking your glass of wine, I wouldn't bother.

  • Ditto PP for the stomach issues. And wine is fine but do what you're comfortable with. 





    I'm not new. I just hate The Bump. 

  • I had a stomach thing last week which was accompanied by extremely painful gas.  It just built up inside me and I felt like I was going to explode.  My doc said GasX was totally fine, and it helped a ton.  I don't know if that kind of pain is what your are having, but in case it is thought I would share.

    QFP = Quote for prosperity.  This is done because there have been DD (dirty deletes) on the board.  A DD is when the OP ( original poster) comes back and removes their question/post  and everyone gets all confused and shit gets crazy.
