abdomen pain when need a poo

[Mummywithlove]

I'm a bit constipated.. and when I need to go loo I get cramps in my abdomen.. does any one no why and is it normal...?? X

Because you are constipated. Your bowel is probably cramping to try and move it along.

I get this too! At first I really panicked because it first happened at 34wks (this week) and I thought it was somehow related to labour!! Can you tell I'm a first-time mum?!?! I am finding that sipping warm water or warm peppermint tea is really helping.

Yes your bowel is working extra hard to move it's load because you're constipated.

I've had this and thought constipation all though just found out have a urinary infection. May be worth getting checked just incase.

Yup. Like period pains, and sweats sometime too. Then all fine after been to the loo.

Like others said think it's a sign of constipation/bowels working harder than normal.
