ever had really bad stomach pain while pregnant?

hmmm forgot how stomach cramps feel like. grins. but not sure it could be that. i try to relax too when that happens. well my pain from what i remember, it is most likely around my navel line you could say i think. i'm not too sure though as it's been some time since i last had it. when the pain is there, it's excruciating, i'm sweating bullets but after it's over more or less, a few days later i forget all about it. tht's the problem hehehe but so far, don't think i've seen blood spots. thanks for responding and your help. it's much appreciated.

oh my god, bleeding for 7 days?? sounds reall bad. so the doctors said that it was due to one fetus being weak?? so how are they now?? are both twins ok?? how old are they?? thanks for responding.

oohhh, i'm really sorry for your loss and real sorry to dredge up unhappy memories. take care

well this is actually my second pregnancy. during the first, i'm not too sure if this pain occured or not. i forgot. (grins sheepishly) but don't worry it's not vulgar. it doesn't occur often. right now, i'm 32 wks and so far, i've had it like maybe 3-4 times i think. of course with gaps in between them. i did ask the doctor once and he said that there will sometimes be pain due to the uterus expanding and all. thus the discomfort. i'm not sure if i would call it like contractions too though. cos during contractions, the pain comes and goes, then comes and goes right. i feel like going long toilet for this one but when i sit down, well it's indescribable you could say. i can cope with it but at times it can be excruciating. after that i take a rest but a few minutes later, i feel like going to the toilet again. but this doesn't happen often so i don't take much notice. i have had this twice at night times in the middle of the night too. it's been some time since i last had the pain. but my cousin, who's in her first trimester, also felt pain so bad that she was just shouting you could say and felt tough to stand up. when she went emergency to check, the doc said the babe was fine and tht was nothing. it happens. thus my concern. but reallly really thanks for your advice. i now know that there can be other reasons for that too. for me, the doctor says that water level or fluid is adequate so no problem there. i guess that mean no dehydration. i'm not sure abt appendixes and gall bladder stones though. haven't had them but the doctor should have noticed if not right. thanks for your help.

Hi, I think it is called Braxton Hicks as that is the name of the guy who named these false labour contractions.

grins, why the name braxton hicks?? is there any reason behind it? i used to have those light contractions too during my first one. it was painless. once i got admitted near my due as they said my baby was small and just wanted to monitor me. but i had light contractions really often that they thought i was going into labour! i told them it wasn't painful, but they were like better safe than sorry. so i went to the delivery room and stayed there and had to forego my lunch and dinner. boy was i sooo hungry. grins. after they realised it was a false alarm, they gave me a tablet to stop the opening and also to lessen the contractions. hehehe thanks for your experience as well as the advice.

ohhhh, you're like maybe only a few days ahead of me. grins. but i think i'm now 33 wks too. hehehe i think it's like you said. but i can't remember if i was really active during the day when i had the pain. but it's good to know that you basically know the pain i'm talking about. i'm fine. i hope you're doing great too. thanks for responding.

hey there, enjoy your best response. everyone was helpful but i chose yours as i learnt something new. i had no idea that if we're too active during the day, the pain happens. i'm quite active i feel, but haven't had it for quite long. i can't remember how active i was when i had those pains before. thanks again for your help.

ohhh, i see it usually is the case though. should have thought of it myself; regarding the name i mean. also thanks for your great information. i don't really like taking a bath or shower at all. hehehe but i'll definitely take up the walking and breathing advice from you. i'm due around late mar. 25th to be exact. how about you.

ohh my god, vomitted at the pain?? that's realll bad. fortunately, the baby is fine. hmm i too have a bad eating habit. it could be as you suggested. but it's not often. it's good to know the causes at least. yehhh i totally get what you mean when the body gets weird during pregnancy. it wasn't this bad during my first. i too have pains in my sides and back. but more, my stomach and back feels so tired after walking for just 5 minutes!! i'm surprised myself. my stomach feels so heavy. hehehe i'll definitely see the doctor if i feel something wrong though. thanks for your advice. you were very helpful and thanks for responding.
