26 Weeks Bad Pains?

Hi everyone.

I'm 26 weeks today and I'm experiencing really bad pains. If feels like trapped wind, every time I eat it gets worse. It comes and goes, almost like a labour pain but I'm not in labour. Anyone else experienced something similar? I think it may be constipation

How do you know you’re not in labour? I think you should call the maternity unit for advice. They might want to check that you’re not in labour. And they’ll have advice + or meds if it’s just constipation or trapped wind.

Pain is every 1 hour, I timed it. Definitely not labour, just worrying and wondered if anyone else had this happen

Yup sounds very much like me last week! Was worried initially but def turned out to be a combination of gas and constipation. Whole thing took nearly a week to clear and I'd say I'm completely fine now. Consciously increased my water intake, forced walking after which I felt shattered and things started moving. Am nearly 25wks also btw so not far off you.
