What is happening?!

Question

So I’m 8w 6d and for the last 3 weeks my stomach has been cramping. Sometimes it’s light, sometimes I’m doubled over in pain. I’ve also spotted twice. I’ve been to the ER 5 times now and my OB twice. Multiple ultrasounds, pelvic checks and hcg level tests and everything looks fine. Baby is healthy with a strong heartbeat. The only other thing I can think of is I haven’t pooped since Friday and before that it was over a week. So maybe it’s just bad constipation pains. Spotting both times has come from rough, vigorous sex with my fiancé. The doctor said there’s nothing to worry about but my stomach cramping is driving me crazy.

Answer

So I have had very bad gas pains that at first feel like period cramps, but then I move around and take definitely gas. Try different positions and see if that helps.

Answer

Poop or gas cramps can be so painful. I nearly had a panic the other day thinking ‘these are the cramps, oh my god. We’ve lost it’..... but no, a couple hours later I was finally able to go to the toilet 😂
I get gas, and harder less frequent stools when I’m pregnant. So I get all the stomach cramping and pain that comes with it really bad 🙄
Any sort of ‘bad’ cramps will feel like a constant period cramp. That you get not relief from. Someone’s gas or poop cramps can feel different as you move. 
Try and keep active, or even go for an evening walk round the neighborhood, drink plenty of water and snack on fiber based foods. And if all else fails, speak with your OB about which type of laxatives you’re allowed. Good luck lady! 💜💜

Answer

That was my first thought. Poop cramps. Get a stool softener and see if it helps
