Hello,
I am new to mumsnet and was hoping I could speak to other mums to be that may be experiencing similar things to me. I have struggled throughout pregnancy so far to not be anxious about miscarriage. I have so many friends that have been through it
.
Last night I was up for a few hours with terrible stomach pains. At first it was high up in my stomach and so I wondered if it was just wind. (Even though I’ve never had that before). I managed to get back asleep and woke up again with bad stomach pain but lower in my stomach. I was really scared and started feeling cramping like period pains. I did some see breathing exercises and watched a film and they seemed to calm down. I think the power of the mind is scary and wonder if heightened anxiety was making stomach pain worse. The pain went and when I woke up I ended up opening my bowels twice. I have been constipated whilst pregnant but I suffer with this anyway and have never experienced such bad cramps.
It has shaken me and I’m trying to think it’s all okay. there has been no bleeding or anything but today I am experiencing a very bloated stomach and a pulling/dragging sensation.
Has anyone else ever had this? Really need some advice :)
