Really bad stomach pain - what is it? :(

[debecca]

Dear all,

Hope you can help me with this! I have bad pain in my stomach, stretching all the way across my diaphragm (I think - never been good at Biology) but it's definitely the stomach that's the problem.

Assuming it was indigestion at 3pm yesterday, I had some Gaviscon and didn't eat much for tea. The pain kept me awake for a lot of the night and every time I tried to turn over my bump hurt.

This morning I was dizzy and sick (probably blood pressure) but stomach has continued to hurt since, even though I've been asleep for 3 hours this afternoon. It is SO painful.

What can I do to help myself?! I am cooking tea at the moment knowing that I probably won't be able to eat it

hi hun, i'm sneaking into 3rd tri to check on you all

i would give m/w a call for some reassurance, you know yourself and whats normal for you, and thats clearly not normal. could be the start of a bug or something, but best to get some proffesional advice hun

Funny you should say that Sara - excellent advice by the way - I have a planned 28 week midwife appointment tomorrow, how convenient!

I'll let you know what she says xxx

This sounds pretty nasty, poor you The only time I have had anything similar during my preg was when I had a nasty allergic reaction in my stomach to some painkillers (that were prescribed by the hospital for migraine). I had the pain and tightening across the diaphram, was dizzy and violently sick, it went on for hours. Anyway, my point is, you may not have an allergic reaction, but it does sound as though your stomach is going thorugh some trauma, maybe through a bug or something.
I hope your mw can tell you what it is tomorrow and find you some relief from it. Hope you are better soon!

Hey poor you If you are concerned and in that much pain I would say call your MW/Dr. I was always advised to do so with any unexplained pain. It may be nothing more than a tummy bug but I think you should speak to someone in the know just to put your mind at ease.
