Dodgy belly

[MummyandPJ]

I'm 6 weeks today, and for the past 4 days or so I've had an upset belly.
I don't know if it's pg related, the fact that all I've been drinking recently is water or if it's the ridiculous amounts of nandos sauce I've been covering every meal in. (However the sauce thing has been going on for quite a while and hasn't affected me before...)

Is anyone else experiencing the same? I can't remember my experiences in my 1st pregnancy xx

Yep the dodgy tummy seems to be suffered by quite a lot of newly pregnant. I'm having the same trouble, I get a day or two of major cramping pains with diarrhoea (sorry tmi!) and then two or three days of absolutely nothing, then the upset tummy again x

Yeah my tummy has been a bit loose since I got my bfp.

I had the same with my first pregnancy too.

Thank you ladies, I'm getting paranoid with everything. I'm sure my belly aches are to do with the upset tummy rather than pg cramping.
Although period pain is perfectly normal, I hate having it and always immediately think it's a bad thing. So at the moment I'm trying to distinguish between dodgy belly and period cramps.

I'm a paranoid wreck at the moment, I really don't enjoy these first 12 weeks!! :') xx

The cramps I'm getting are like flipping contractions - for some reason whenever I get an upset tummy (pregnant or not) I get horrendous cramping x

Me too! I've had a couple of occasions where I've had a horrendous stomach aches with painful cramping which goes oce I've been to the loo (TMI- very loose!!!). It's horrible. I remember having this in early pregnancy last time too :/

I just try to drink plenty of fluids and am now avoiding spicy food as each time it's been after I've had something spicy for dinner which before pregnancy wasn't an issue!

I had this from about 3 days before i got my bfp till about 10 weeks! Midwife said normal, some women get constipated, others go the opposite way! X

Yes I had a bad stomach at the beginning, it really worried me but discussed with midwife and she said not to worry. I think it is pretty normal symptom wise. I am constipated now at 20 weeks, not sure what is worse? x
