stomach pains?

[sarafet]

hi guys, as some of you may know i had a pos hpt 2 days ago. i'm totally new to the whole pregnancy thing as it was unexpected so i'm very unprepared as you can imagine.

now that i know, i feel concious of pains in my stomach, kind of dull aching pains which i imagine are normal, they're not overly painful but last night i was lieing on my belly and had a shooting pain go through my lower left abdomen, it happened twice, but the first time i actually cried out in shock. i haven't had any bleeding or other abnormalities whatsoever, so i'm just wondering if these kind of pains are normal and if i can look forward to more of them?

now that i know i'm pregnant, having the dull pain in my stomach kind of comforts me bc i know that it's a good sign. i've got my fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong bc even though it wasn't planned, i want this so much now

listen to me getting all soppy

thanks again guys x

Pains & cramps are normal - I have had a couple of times that I have had a little sob from little shock pains.

Any pain that makes you double over in agony or occompanied by spotting/bleeding you should seek some medical reassurance however anything that puts you out of mind with worry I think people should do the same to for some 'calm'

thanks wobbles

the pain last night was just a shock more than anything, didn't have me crying or doubled over and defo no bleeding.

One night I was in so much pain I went to bed scared to go get help I admit. The next day I was ok I think it was my bowels

 

[sarafet]

that will explain the trapped wind then

Everything going on in there at the moment lol

I was just about to post a new thread with nearly word for word what you wrote sarafet.. I was laying in bed last night and felt lots of aching, really low down and a few sharp shooting type pains.. Ive not had any kind of bleeding or spotting either.. But the aching feels like muscle stretching kinda..

How many weeks are you Sarafet ?

 

[sarafet]

Louisa I don't have an exact date yet, but anywhere between 6-10wks we think.

I had an abnormal bleed just over 6 weeks ago, not like period blood though so it's either since that or before that, only the dating scan will tell.

the shooting pain i had was such a shock too, and the other pains are kind of crampish and a stretching feeling, just like a dull ache now and again.

i've had no sickness (yet,) just nausea. My boobs are agony though, so tender and sore

i had pains and cramping in early pregnancy the midwife just told me to have a bath and a cup of tea and relax and it should pass and generally it did. But its amazin how you pick up and worry about the smallest thigns when you're preggy!

 

[Louisa K]

Yeah I really worry about everything, every little ache, cramp and pain..

Why do we get so many cramps and aches when the baby is soooooo tiny at this stage..

 

[sarafet]

i'm guessing it's not our baby, but our womb expanding?

we'll feel plenty of pain from the baby later on no doubt

True lol

Ooh is it the womb.. I try and search everything on google to find an answer.. lol I like to have reasons for things, then I dont worry so much..

Hi ladies, your cramping and pains are all normal. There is quite a bit going on in there as far as ligaments stretching and other changes. Nothing to worry about but it is really interesting to feel how your body changes huh? It will all ease after a while.

 

[Louisa K]

Thanks for the reassurance Mango, thats what I really like about this forum, that when you think "oh my god, why did that just happen" theres are about 10+ other ladies that it happened to as well, then you realise, hang on this must be normal.. and its a big comfort..

I think if you look back in the posts just about everyone has complained about cramping in early pregnancy. It's just another wonderful symptom we all get to go through (which scares us like crazy)!

 

[sarafet]

does anyone know if it's true that the cramping usually gets worse when your period would be due?

yes they're normal i had them early say about week 8 and then not again until say week 22 and now nothing---doc said it was uterus expanding--- so feel better it shouldnt last long---and of course as long as there's no blood u should b fine
