My stomach has been very upset for the past 9 days or so off and on. It'll churn and twist and just cause me a lot of discomfort... Sometimes higher up, like gas bubbles, other times lower down like intestinal issues. I haven't had a good bowel movement in over a week, just (tmi and a bit gross) diarrhea deer poop. I've upped my fiber and water intake, slowed on the artificial sugars and eaten more fruit and veggies. i've also started taking my colace again... But no matter what i do my stomach churns and twists uncomfortably, sometimes painfully, it gets so tight (and no not braxton hicks tight, I've had those too and this is different).
I'm home with my 2.5 year old today and I am supposed to be cleaning, but even the slightest movement, especially when i lean forward, causes my stomach to just churn and ache... Sometimes I feel nauseous from it like I need to throw up, other times its just painful like I need to have a bowel movement or pass gas.
I know this just sounds like a bad case of constipation or some kind of digestive issue, but my husband is worried because I am not able to do as much as I usually do (play with our daughter, pick her up, clean, cook) because every movement causes discomfort. I do still take a walk in the evenings but all that does is cause braxton hicks...
So... he wants me to call my doctor... a military doctor an hour away, who would probably tell me to call labor and delivery because I am in the third trimester (ridiculous). I just want to wait it out... but it has been affecting me significantly for quite some time now... What should I do?
