[disneystar]

im 11 to 12 wks pg unsure till scan date oh my gosh im so ill il fine in the morning no sickness by around 3pm i have chronic wind im burping every 2 minutes gastric pains im so constipated could this be a problem? cant eat a thing after 3pm my stomach bloats out like im 5 mths goes back down by morning pains in the top of my legs surely this isnt normal i had a bowel op and an umbilical hernia repair not long before i got pg could this be a factor i also has to take laxatives every 2 days and water retention tablets since ive been pg ive taken nothin on the advise of the mw i really cant stand much more of this please welcome any advise has anyone else had this at all

also wanted to add i have put on 1 stone in 6 weeks how is this possible am i retaining to much water since stopping the tablets is there anythin i can take to rectify this safely over xmas the docs are shut and i didnt want to bother the mw over something so trivial

id ring them if it were me, even just for reasurrance. They are paid to work so dont worry about ringing, they are there for you

Seeing that you have just had a bowel op (usually quite serious) I think only a medic who can see your history can advise you whether this is normal. So yes, i suggest calling the out of hours GP service. I don't think it is trivial.

Let us know how you get on.

disney you should only stop meds on the advice of your GP NOT your mw!!! poor you it sounds utterly miserable, please please see a GP asap you shouldn't be having to suffer like this. while all your symptoms sound normal for pg they sound exacerated and i'm sure there's something they'll be able to do to help you

Hi Disney.
from another perspective if your bowel op was a success then maybe its not related to the suffering you have now.
I have suffered wind and constipation all through so far and i am 20 weeks.
MW advised me to take plenty of fluids and fruit etc. I wouldnt worry too much about the weight gain,i too gained weight in the early stages but now seems to have levelled out a bit.
Good luck with your scan

thank you all very much for the quick replies il contact the gp or mw tomorrow maybe im worrying to much but if this is normal its damn terrible i have other children and have never even had a whiff of sickness before i could never symapthise with the poor women who did how can a pregnancy be so utterly different im going to check on whether i can still take my old medication and should i just have stopped on the advise of the mw like you said the gp should be the one to advise never thought of that (stupid me) i also had gestational diabetes with last pregnancy baby was 9lb 4 at 36 weeks induced he wouldnt stop growing maybe i need to have a check on this to il keep you updated once again thanks

Oh dear.

Disturbing your Dr when you are pregnant is never a problem.

I hope by the time you read this post you have been back to your GP and are feeling better.
