bloating/discomfort

in October 2014 Moms
I'm 23w5d and for the last few days have been experiencing discomfort in my abdomen. It's hard to describe the feeling so I will try my best. It feels like boating, maybe light pressure. I am not sure if it is from some constipation I've been experiencing the last day or so or if it might be pressure from a UT I or just where baby is sitting. Anyone else had/have this? My husband is military so our provider is veryy hard to get in to see and she Is a midwife so not always super helpful with any symptoms I any having.

    If I go in it has to be at the hospital to labor and delivery. If it still continues tomorrow I may call L&D and ask them if I should come in

    If it's low in your stomach and constant, not coming and going, it's probably bowel related. Are you taking colace and drinking lots of water? Try to think of how long it's been since a bowel movement. I'd call if the pain gets worse or remains for more than a day.

    If the pain is in your upper-right stomach and isn't baby sticking a foot in your ribs, that definitely warrants a call to the doc. Especially combined with a persistent headache or blurred vision, upper-right quadrant pain can sometimes be an early sign of pre-e. Not trying to freak you out...it's just something to be aware of.

    I hope it's nothing too bothersome and that you feel better soon! :)

    I think it's mid - lower and seems pretty constant. I had two BMs today after 2-3 days of nothing. So maybe my body is trying to get back to somewhat regular

    Could be growing pains...the stretching can feel like bloating.

    Could also just be how baby is sitting. Sometimes when baby is in a ball on one side it kind of feels like a bloating/stretching of the uterus.

    Abdominal pain could be a lot of things, and it seems like even the little things (like being constipated for a day or two) can feel so much worse when pregnant! I hope that's all it is, but I'd definitely get it checked out.

    I agree its possibly poop.  I was feeling heavy recently and while I was completely constipated I started taking fiber supplements and now am massively relieved - and I was surprised how backed up I'd become.  I thought it was the way the baby was sitting but nope - just poop.

     I took: Vitafusion Calcium+Fiber chews, 2 chews once a day.  Kicked in on day 3.
