I’m wondering if anybody has experienced anything similar to this before. On Friday evening I just went really funny, kind of like before a bug starts but also it felt ‘periody’ too. I’m a year postpartum and periods have been back for 3 months, I figured it out in my head I would be due to be ovulating and sort of put it down to that.
I am TERRIFIED of throwing up so held it in but definitely felt like I could have projectile vomited. So at this point thought well surely it’s just a stomach bug? The next morning I was absolutely fine, maybe some background discomfort, like when you need diarrhoea but I didn’t actually have any.
Went about my day and bam around 7pm it was back again, but I was like rocking back and forth with it and this time I just let myself be sick. Again I was thinking this is obviously a stomach bug. My friend told me to try peppermint tea to ease my stomach and it did seem to do the trick for maybe 30 minutes. Anyway around 11pm it was totally gone again, maybe minor tenderness but I slept fine.
Yesterday I woke up and felt even better. Managed to wash my hair, shower, clean the house. I genuinely thought ok well this was clearly a bug and I’m all better now. Wrong.. 1am came around and I was DOUBLED over in pain, the worst it had been and it lasted like this for maybe 3 hours. I was crying out. It felt like trapped wind mixed with contractions - truly awful. My partner was very almost calling me an ambulance but I knew that if I was going to feel better the next day I’d have felt silly.
I promised him that I’d call the doctors in the morning but unfortunately due to getting NO sleep I slept in and my doctors didn’t have any appointments left. Now today again I haven’t had any serious pain at all, just that minor background tender feeling, but the pain is literally 1/10, maybe a 2. I’ve had no issues with number two’s at all, I’ve been going regularly so don’t think it’s constipation.
I’ve promised my partner now that if I feel the pain again tonight we can ring 111 and even if I don’t and I’m fine tonight I’m going to call first thing in the morning to get a doctors appointment. I know the people on mumsnet aren’t doctors and I will be seeking a medical professionals opinion tomorrow regardless. But I’m just wondering if anybody has ever experienced anything like this before?
