IBS muscle cramps in pregnancy

[blibbyblobb]

Hi

I suffer from IBS, main symptoms constipation and painful muscle cramps. Pre pregnancy it was well controlled with diet and buscopon. Now pregnant.. IBS symptoms have risen due to changes in hormones, a lot of high fibre food makes me physically sick, and ive just found out that buscopon isn't recommended in pregnancy.. My question is does anyone else suffer from muscle cramps and how do you get rid of them?

Thank you 💕

Uhhh yes I feel your pain! I haven't figured out what I can take medication wise to help, but a combo of peppermint tea and hot water bottles seems to help. If it's really bad I will run a warm bath and just relax until the pain passes. My ibs is relatively mild though. May be worth checking with your pharmacist or Dr if it's really impacting you? Xxx

Hi.. I'm 5 weeks and have been having cramps that feel like period cramps but they are so much more painful. They come in waves of about 10 to 40 minutes. Sometimes it feels like the pain is in my rectum as well as feeling like period cramps. Sometimes it feels like I'm having spams in my rectum or something.

Sometimes I will just sit on the toilet and bear down and maybe some mucus comes out as a wet fart.. sometimes a small poop. Sometimes nothing.. not even gas.

Is this IBS?

I went to the ER and they said my pregnancy is fine and sent me home..
