Normal or bug?

[holli]

I've had bad constipation for a few days where I could feel it there it just wouldn't come, also been feeling very very nauseous like I'm hungover and everything just foggy with no concentration at all, last night I went back to work for first time in 2 weeks ( I work nights in a care home 12 hour shifts) I was still mega constipated this morning when I got home and my tummy was massive with bloat I was really struggling so I got undressed didn't even shower I felt that bad and climbed into bed, woke a few hours ago with the stomach cramps and literally had to run to loo as it's now running from me to the point I don't know if I'm peeing or pooing (sorry tmi) my stomach hurts from the heaving of the runs and although I'm still having runs a few hours on my nausea seems to have backed off abit and I don't feel I'm in a fog, is this normal (I'm just over 7 weeks pregnant) or do you think it might be a bug from work? Just find it strange how can go from not been able to go to not been able to stop going with out taking anything

Ps sorry for the essay Xx

Hi Holli, I am not a doctor, so I can't tell for sure, but it could be that you have runs because you were constipated for a while and now all of it (tmi sorry!) just wants to come out? I had runs at the very beginning of my pregnancy (several days before I found out). I just thought my tummy didn't agree with this nice Chinese meal I had... now I know it was a pregnancy symptom, as everyone else (there was 6of us eating that meal) was absolutely fine!

So my thinking is that pregnancy could cause both runs and constipation, as I've now had constipation for a while too. Ahhhh.

You know, also sometimes runs happen when one feels emotional and then need to get this emotion out! So as it happened after you've been to work, possibly you have been nervous and this has caused the runs?

Obviously I could be wrong! Make sure you gets plenty of rest and give your doctors a call if you're worried. I am sure this wouldn't hurt and they would be able to advise.

Hope you feel better!

Thankyou Hun. I had runs the day I got my positive hpt I feel better that it's all out I hope it's all out any ways lol currently laid on bed watching last nights Corrie with water and oh looking after me as I have no energy think that's lack of sleep from nights and been stuck on loo all day as well as baby xx

Spoke to Epau and she's said it happens in pregnancy and hormones are every where she's told me to try and eat fibre and as much fruit and veg as I can bloody hard finding gluten free weetabix £3 a bloody box but worth it if it helps keeps me regular bought some fresh orange and lots of fruit too, she told me to keep away from bananas as she's said they can make you both constipated and bunged up (I've been nomming on them too) been pushed forward to 8 weeks pregnant today too as they scanned me just to check everything was ok xx
