Lack of BM pains?

[Amsan]

Quick question, its been quite a few days since I've had a good bm and I had Subway again for lunch today But it was kinda spicy... since then, I've had these god awful sharp pains down low in the center. It literally makes me stop in my tracks it hurts so bad. I can't move, I can't breathe, I can't think, and then a couple seconds later its passed, until it starts again a few minutes later.

I'm just wondering if these is pains caused by lack of BM, or if it might be something more serious? If anyone has experienced it before.. I know trapped wind can be a B too and is very painful, this kinda feels like that but it comes and goes instead of sticking around until I let out a toot.

It could be either bm pain or contractions if they're not consistent I would wait and watch

I think they were just bm pains lol. I ended up being able to go finally and haven't felt them since... I do still feel uncomfortable where I was feeling them though.

Yeah, that's probably what it was. I've had some really bad gas pains that freaked me out every time they happened. I think our digestive systems are just get out of whack with pregnancy. A few dried prunes really help with regularity, but they also make me gassy, so I only eat them when I actually have a problem, not every day.

I'm gonna have to try somethin... over the weekend it was (sorry tmi) diarrhea with stomach pains, then nothing until today when it was diarrhea again..

Yikes, well, you probably don't want to eat prunes then. Might want to stay away from spicy food and see if that helps. But yeah, the pains could definitely be caused by digestive system being out of whack.
