Unfortunately we get all sorts of horrid pains in pregnancy that are nothing but if you are concerned get it checked, better safe than sorry

i would say it sounds like constipation pain to me i got this alot until 20 weeks then it went. if your worried though ge it checked out.

I've had really bad constipation pain and wind up until about 18 weeks and then started feeling fab. Fibrous food definitely helped a bit.

Why is it that nobody warns you about this before falling pregnant? Everyone's on about morning sickness (which I hardly had), but noone mentions constipation and killer flatulence.

Just had a wee thought the doc prescribed me Lactulose solution for the consitapation and I have been taking it for a week , just looked at the side effects and cramp is one of them !! so going to stop taking it and see if they go away !!!

Lactulose syrup has been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of constipation associated with pregnancy when administered to women at different stages of pregnancy. Its use during pregnancy should be on the advice of a medical practitioner.

Adverse Effects
Lactulose may cause abdominal discomfort associated with flatulence or cramps in about 20% of patients. These effects are usually mild and transient.




It wasnt working that well anyway !

Hi,
Hope you're feeling better. I have had loads of weird pains too - much more with this pregnancy than the last. I had period type tummy and back pains pretty much right up to 14 weeks, and still occasionally get the low period like pain in the middle and radiating down my sides. I have asked numerous midwifes and doctors and they have all said not too worry and this is normal. Unless you are in a lot of pain, I wouldn't worry too much. May well be the joys of constipation too! Get well soon.

Sounds like constipation or trapped wind. Also it could be everything stretching. Hope you feel better soon

I was horribly constipated and tried lots of stuff - then I discovered plums!! They are really cheap at the moment and I have 2 or 3 for breakfast and boy do they work .

Ive had "period" pains. I asked the midwife and she sorta shrugged

I put it down to growing pains, seeing as she couldnt give me an explanation

im 16 weeks and having period like cramps, apparently its just the uterus stretching and nothing to worry about unless its accompanied by blood.
hope you feel better soon xx
