I used to get those. I would be fine one second, then I'd get an awful stabbing pain and I'd gave to run to the bathroom. However I was also having diarrhea type symptoms, so mine could have been different.
I've had some similar pains at times. The first time it happened, I was concerned it might be appendicitis since it was so sharp and strong. It's probably just because the baby is pressing on your intestines.
Actually, baby pressing on the intestines would be a good reason... I dont have to run to the bathroom, I usually have 20 mins before I feel like going after the pains.
I get these pains too. Usually in the right and lower parts of my belly which is the end of your gi tract but I get the pains to and I'm popping normally just get the pains like 20 mind before I have to go.... They suck and are super painful but at least I can go....
Tana643, that is exactly it! It just scared me a bit before I made the connection between the pain & pooping! Now I wonder how normal it is.
