IBS flare up and miscarriage link?

This is probably quite niche but I'm just wondering if anyone who has had miscarriages has noticed their IBS symptoms suddenly flare up prior to their loss?
I had 2 MMC last year which were discovered at early scans, one of the only things I noticed that may have been a signal that things weren't going right was a sudden flare up of trapped wind/nausea/loose stool right around the time the babies would have stopped developing. From research, IBS tends to get worse when progesterone levels drop. I'm asking as I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant but last week I had the familiar trapped wind/headache/flare up when baby would have been 7+ 5 which seems to be where things tend to go wrong for me :(

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Hi OP. Was everything okay?
im 9 weeks and have had terrible IBS flare up the past 2 days. I’ve noticed my breasts aren’t as full, but still tender. I’m a bit worried as I had MMC last year at 6.5 weeks.

This is going to be a lot of TMI but when my baby died, I found out at 12 weeks, but baby died at 8+3. So I was going around for 4 weeks without knowing, but in those 4 weeks I had terrible stomach and going to the toilet a lot & twice I farted and I actually pooed without even realising (never happened before!!!!)

My ibs has been really bad for weeks now. I'm 11 weeks and baby was fine at scan a few days before Christmas

@karma3 im sorry for your loss❤️ that sounds awful! I’ve got the most the terrible painful smelly wind (sorry TMI). I have had a successful pregnancy with my little boy and didn’t experience this so I’m a bit worried. But I suppose I’ll have to wait until my 12 week scan now and keep my fingers crossed

@ChildOfTheMoon thank you this is reassuring ❤️ and congratulations xx
