I'm having the worst belly aches

it's not like cramps but it feels like I need to go really bad but nothing happening I've literally been on the toilet for an hour. The pain comes and goes kind of like contractions do. This is awful:(

Nothing is**** happening.

I am so sorry. That is just plain old terrible constipation. I had such painful gas the other night that I cried, I can relate. If you are at home and can stay home the rest of the night, see if you can have someone bring you Milk of Magnesia. It is totally safe in pregnancy, according to my doc, when taken in moderation. I promise it will work. You'll be running to the bathroom but you will have the relief you need. The taste makes me gag, so I'd take it with something like orange juice. Take four tablespoons. Good luck

You might just be really constipated. Have you tried any milk of magnesia or something similar and have you called your ob?

Did you happen to have any fertility treatment?

ebilbao · May 2014

I only ask bc I had the same symptoms last week, and ended up with an ectopic pregnancy in addition to my normal uterine pregnancy. I swore all day it was gas and I just needed to go, but it wasn't. I had ivf with two implanted embryos-obviously the one snuck up into my tube.

No I didn't, I just think I'm extremely backed up:'(

Ahhh that's totally how I feel! This is worse then contractions it's just terrible! I got a stool softener yesterday from my doc and took one so far and I'm having no relief yet. Thank you I hope you don't run into that problem again! It's awful.

I've never wanted to hug someone over poop, but I feel so bad for you go home, relax, drink a crap ton of water and take some of the poop medicine pp talked about.

You just made my day! Thank you for your kind words! I will drink a gallon of water if it helps!

ebilbao · May 2014

Oh good. Better to be full of poop than have an ectopic. Although, I'm sorry for you and hope you loosen up soon.

my first pregnancy I was sooo backed up and in so much pain that I literally had to perform my own Enema. They sell them at convenient stores.. and about 10 minutes after i used it. RELIEF..

I've never had an enema but I can't think of anything better right now lol!

I've read that prune juice will help, same with milk of magnesia. Get some and keep it on hand.

TMI alert, but after I try to poo and can't go, I get up and walk around as much as I can. Sometimes it helps get things moving again for me. Good luck. I hope everything comes out soon.

Eat some prunes and lots of water!

pjswife · May 2014

So, I'm traveling tonight and I'll be away from home through the weekend through Monday afternoon. I might have been able to "go" on my own eventually but I felt myself starting to get backed up, so I took some of the MoM in advance, sort of as a prep cleanout. If that is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

FoxiePM · May 2014

I had to take a laxative last night. That ended with what may have been the best poop of my life this morning. It's the small things.....

Heidig14 · May 2014

This happened to me the other day. I drank a ton of prune juice which worked great. Since then I've been drinking a glass every morning and it's made a huge difference. Just have to remember to not drink it right before I'm supposed to go to a meeting at work

Drink the water. My OB said that increasing your water consumption helps with constipation. Since your GI track is slowing down more of the moisture is being pulled out of the food & process. Of course there are the old standbys of daily fiber supplements, prunes, etc that you can do on a more routine basis.

Sorry that you are having the pain... it's never fun.
