Dodgy stomach/gut in 3rd trimester?

[badguider]

Hi,
I can't find anything written anywhere about gut/stomach problems in 3rd trimester except for heartburn.

I am 32+1 today and do have heartburn, but I also have painful trapped wind, alternate between needing to go often (3-4 times a day) and being unable to go (constipated), and feel nauseous particularly when the bump kicks me in the stomach or gut which he does often.

Does anybody know if this is a pregnancy thing? Or have I caught some kind of low-level stomach bug? I don't know whether to keep trying to eat little and often or to avoid food for a while...?? I see my MW next week but have the weekend to get through before then.

I've had the same pretty much all the way through 3rd trimester x

33+0 and I'm the same, I wouldn't be concerned unless any of your symptoms become severe. There's a lot going on in our bodies right now, it can be difficult to know what's normal!

I was just about to post similar, including an unwelcome return of morning sickness

I has the same too from about 32 weeks until after I'd given birth. Sorry but you may well have a few weeks of this!

It's ok Janey - I'd rather know its a pregnancy thing than be worried about bugs/viruses.
I'll just keep trying to eat healthily and sensibly.
