really bad stomach pains, like labour pains but am not pregnant...

[TambaTheDragonSlayer]

They are bloody painful! Had them since i woke up. Feel like curling up into a ball and rocking until they subside, they come and go - any ideas?

Hehe WWB!

I have the pains again this morning, I wonder why they appear when i wake up...

Is it in your lower back? Could it be a kidney infection? Think you need to see the doctor.

I have had this i think and it is also always in the morning. I am usually ok once i have been to the loo , but occasionally it last a few hours and I have take painkillers for it.

I even had it when 23 weeks pregnant with Ds and it terrified me as I was convinced I was going into labour. My midwife thought so too and made me call an ambulance as the pain was excriuciating.

Still don't know what it was.

kidney stones are very similar to labour pains, infact i had them whilst pregnant and thought i had gone into labour. these pains are felt more in your back though

Ring the GP for an appointment now (yes, you can call me Mom if you like; water off a duck's back ).

It could be a UTI, it could be irritable bowel, but you need to get it checked out.

Are you on the phone yet?

Just got home so only just seen your message

They tend to be in my lower back and sides and they are so painful at times.

I will make a dr's appointment just for you wwb

You're all heart, Tamba

I really think you should get it checked out.

LOL wwb, for once you suspect wrong

I think you are very caring and sweet and not in the least bit nagging

I will give the doctors a call tomorrow as they are closed now. Was just talking to dh and he reminded me how, some nights he wakes up and i am kneeling against the bed because it hurts - i dont remember that at all!! Will deffo get it sorted.

appendecitus?? (ok I don't know how to spell it)
eptopic pregnancy?? how do you know your not pregnant??

I think its been going on too lonhg for appendactis or anything serious (a few weeks). I did a pg test about a month ago (negative thank god!) because i was feeling very teary all the time. I havent had unprotected sex either (we use condoms) so i cant be pregnant

I had these type of pains too for a while from being 32 weeks PG with ds and every month (at the same time) for about 8 months after he was born - still don't know what they were, but they were extremely painful and always occured when I was sleeping (3am ish). I hadn't had them for a long time then they reoccured when I was recently 8 weeks PG, I ignored them thinking oh no not them again, it turned out I had a ectopic.

Don't dismiss them if they are painful, its not worth it, have them checked out. Take care

How's it doing this morning, Tamba? Did you ring the doctors?

I forgot to ring the doctors but i will!

I keep meaning to but as wierd as it sounds you just sort of get used to it.

It hasnt been so bad today.

And totally irrelevent but I just typed this without looking at the keyboard. I have subconciusly learned to touch type

Hello ladies how are we all first time I've came on this site anyway a little bit about me im 32 have an almost 11 year old son with ADHD the other night I had really sore tummy n when the cramps came I was doin the puff n pant breathing cause it was too sore anyway few days later n when I try to eat it's a faint ache I have n it feels like when I eat or drink they hit the sore bit in my tummy then it's back to puff n pant n then the pain stops but the ache is still there any ideas would be great full already had my gall stones out too back in 2009 (was in agony with them)

It sounds like diverticulitis. Mainly in the left but can also be rightsided. I was just searching to see if it could be anything else as I have suffered with this disease for 14 years and was just hoping that this time I could pin it on something else alas
