pains in early pregnancy????

[leighanne143]

hi everyone,

i had a missed miscarriage back in october with a d and c.  i am now pregnant again, anywhere between 4-6 weeks, won;t know how far along until ultrasound on 1/31.  but i just started have some pains in my right lower side that travel to the middle of my upper stomach.  they are not so painful that i am crying or doubling over but i am nervous.  my prenatal nurse told me to expect some aches and pains.  do you think this is normal?  i did eat a lot of pasta and then walk, could i have agrrivated my stomach?

thanks,
leigh

It could be gas! I had a similar pain and I am about 8 weeks pregnant.  Try to drink lots of water and lots of fruits.  That might help.  It could also be the ligaments streching.  So relax...put your feet up!

ps-that olive garden kicked my patootie last night!  ugh!  but it was so yummy!!!!!  i feel better today too :-)

thank you all.

the pain was not bad, it was just uncomfortable.  it acutally lasted from 6 last nights til 6this morning, so i am going to call the prenatal nurse today although she may tell me it was the sauce or from walking because i did take a walk yesterday around4pm, shortly before i started having those funny feelings.

keep an eye on things to see if they continue, but when i eat pasta with tomato sauce, i get all kinds of weird, gassy pains!  i have learned that tomato sauce has too much acid for me now that i am pregnant and i can only have it once in a while.  i went to olive garden tonight for dinner and am already paying for it!  start paying attention to what you eat and then how you feel afterwards...i have learned many things that i loved before, i just can't handle now that i am pregnant!  if the pain starts to get more concerning, then call your doc.  i hope you feel better :-)

Hi Leigh,
I would try to relax.  getting worried will only raise your blood pressure. You may just have aggrivated your stomach.  Keep and eye on it and if there is any spotting call  your Doctor.  Remember, try and relax. i know it's hard after a m/c.  Good Luck
