Stomach pains...

I am 29 weeks and for the last few days I have been experiencing horrible stomach pains....Sometimes I think it's just gas (how embarrassing) I am just hoping it's a bug or something. But I am not feeling sick or anything else. It's been off and on for the last 3 or 4 days. When I go to the bathroom, I feel better for a little while, until it comes back! This morning I thought I was having contractions they were so bad. I couldn't even stand up!  I know for a fact I had about 3 BH last week, no biggie. But the baby has been moving like crazy and I have been trying to drink plenty of water. Does it just sound like a stomach bug or should I call my doc? Just a little concerned about it. (I have also been having a LOT of discharge lately...sorry TMI)

OMG, just wait hon. When I was pregnant with number 2 she decided at 8 months to do a full somersault while i was lying on my back. It was crazy. You could see body parts move across my stomach and switch and turn to the other side. It had to be the coolest thing ever during pregnancy. It was uncomfortable a bit, but didnt really hurt. But yes, it can hurt, especially if they get up under your ribcage. Sorry to say hon, but it will happen. Its all worth it though, I promise.

I feel much better today. Maybe it was a stomach bug? I don't know or maybe they were BH. This is my first...so it's all new to me still. I didn't think it would hurt so much when the baby moves. I guess s/he is running out of room! =)

My BH contractions were just tightening and uncomfortable. But yours might just be different. I do remember my girls moving all over the place and it hurting sometimes. But like I have said before, it has been 7 1/2 years since I went through all that. So far this pregnancy is a lil different from both my girls.

congrats krissy!! =) It will fly by...let me tell ya! I will definitely let you in on all the details when I give birth. My hubby bought me a laptop last week. He told me that way when I give birth I can lay in the bed with the baby and update all of you as soon as I get home! How sweet?! He is wonderful. =)

I am really torn right now, I always thought I was having a boy. But recently I had a dream about having a baby girl, so I really have no idea.

If I had to guess, I think it'd be boy tho :)

So I'm not the only one! It is really weird. Yea, let me know what your doc says. I don't think what I am feeling is too serious...so I will wait until my appt. on tues and ask my midwife then. but let me know! What do you think you are having??

I have been feeling exactly what you explained.. and I can't tell if its the baby moving in a weird place or contractions. It gets really intense sometimes and I can't talk or move. It's pretty overwhelming. I have a doctor appointment tomorow (find out the sex!!) and I'll ask my doc about the pains and let you know what he says..

thankfully I went out to my car, and there were tums!! yay. I feel better now. lol.  sometimes it feels like it's tightening....but mostly just sharp pains...kinda in the middle of my belly. It's hard to tell if I am having BH or if it's the baby only because sometimes when the baby moves into certain positions it hurts and my belly seems mostly hard....if that makes sense.

Oooh, the burning..I am sorry. As far as the stomach pains, does your tummy feel like its tightening and constricting, or just the sharp pains?

I can't seem to tell if it's contractions or just stomach pains. It just happened a couple more times. It's almost like a pain and I also get chills and feels like I have to go to the bathroom, but I know I don't. It's such a weird feeling. and so embarrassing to explain..LOL..I wish I could explain it better. From time to time the lower part of my belly feels sore, but maybe that's from the way the baby is laying. I also have a buring in my throat...but I have been getting that almost everyday. Doesn't matter what I eat either! I'm at work, and I forgot my tums...

Sounds like it might be gas pains, they can be excruciating sometimes, but I agree....call your doctor just in case! Hope you feel better soon hon.

I know I had pretty constant contractions starting at 28 weeks.  My doctor said it was normal but if they came more than every 10 minutes in an hour I needed to call her.  (I did not deliver early)

I would ring your doctor and just run it through with them just in case and to put your mind at rest. Maybe make an appointment and see what they say its better to be safe than sorry.
