Hey ladies!
So for the last few weeks since I've been taking my pregnancy vitamin (erm, thanks iron!) I have been constipated badly and sounds funny probably but I can't even pass wind like I use to be able to! It's horrible! It's causing cramps, sometimes strong and painful, and I even had bad back pain right across my bum/lower back all night last night no matter what position I was in! It was gone when I woke up this morning but it was so uncomfortable and I'm sure it's all down to the constipation! I find myself sat on the toilet sometimes trying to find relief. I've googled it and it all seems to make sense but does anyone else have the same?!
Note I've had no spotting/bleeding throughout!
I'm going out of my mind that it's something bad or wrong with the baby, I'm 7 and a half weeks and don't see a midwife for the first time until Feb 7th! Then I guess I'll get my 12 week scan date but I can't enjoy this experience until then (especially after what I saw last time...) what with all the weird twinges and pains! Someone please tell me it's normal! I am so tempted to book an early scan but I don't want to tempt fate as I had one at 8 weeks last pregnancy and it was all fine perfect HB and tiny little baby then what I saw at 12 weeks will haunt me for the rest of my life! Help guys.
