[charlotteheys85]

This isnt the first time i've had it,
and i'm really worried.. just woke up, and i was doubling over with pain in my stomach, its feels like really bad trapped wind..??
Anyone had this? :'( it comes and then goes..

Chances are thats probably what it is. Constipation, trapped wind, both are common especially in first tri. Everything slows down and backs up in that department

I used to get it really bad and it blooming hurt. Sitting on the loo helped, but that was only every 4-5 days or so

Try to get some fibre down you if you've not been eating much of it, help move things along. I used to make myself burp also if it got really bad in my stomach. Sometimes it helped ease it, other times not.

If it doesn't ease or you are having period type cramps (not stomach ones) maybe go see your GP to get them to check you out.

i used to have this with constipation too, fizzy water really helped used to get through a couple of litres of this a night sometimes!! sit there drink away and perform the frog chorus!

I had this alot at the beggining, especially in bed at night. Sometimes I even woke up with the pain. It does eventually go though it's just painfull whilst you've got it.

Mine was awful too! It's pretty painful I know

I use to leave a bottle of coke out and let it go flat and drink it before I went to sleep. It worked for me...

Hope it goes soon, it's bloody uncomfortable!

its horrible isnt it, my sister is a pharasist, and is working tonite, so asked me to pick me some up she text bk saying, she'd pick me up the sainsuburys ones, as theres better than windease and cheaper..
hope there ok whilst pregnant, i'll make sure i do lots of research before i taken one..
hope it helps.. its horrible..
dont know why i'm complaining, because when i was TTC i'd have put up with any pain to be pregnant, now here i am complaining.
But i do appreciate being pregnant, just making sure i'm ok, so i can concentrate on making my lil Bean bigger hehe
