TMI, but had to ask...

[danielle72007]

I am 9 weeks pregnant today, and I haven't had any problems with being constipated or anything.. I'm still pretty regular.. the only thing is today I woke up and I had a very upset stomach, like worse than I've ever had before.. it literally kept me in the bathroom for 20 mins, TMI I know, but is this normal with pregnancy?? I worry about everything and when it seems I have something new going on I always come here first to get input from you guys.. well anyway, again sorry for the TMI, and thanks for taking the time to respond.

LOL, I have the same problem!! I love olives, and always overindulge!! lol  Yeah, get back to taking it like normal, try it at night before you go to bed to help with the queasiness, that always worked for me, and at 30 weeks, I STILL have to do that!!  If you notice you still have the pains and constipation after a few days on a normal schedule with them, ask your doc if there is another prenate you can take that won't constipate you so bad....I just wish I could remember what the docs switched me to, it was with my first pg, so I can't remember the name of them!!! Darn pregnancy, screws with my memory!! LOL  After I have the baby in March, I'll probably remember!! lol

Yes, I've been taking my vitamins since I was around 5 weeks, I think you're probably right.. I know this is bad but I had been soo sick the past 2 or 3 days that I missed my vitamin and finally felt well enough and not throwing up a lot and took it last night..so I'm going to start takin them right immediately I feel really guilty for not doing so. I'm hoping thats what caused this, but considering I ate a ton of olives yesterday that may have something to do with it.. my Mom was like you probably shouldn't do that Danielle, it may make your stomach upset... they were really good though lol..

I had stopped taking my prenatals for a week or two becuase they made me sick.  I started them again last night right before bed.  I woke up several times with bad gas....about 2:30 am I had to go to the bathroom becuase my stomach was cramping up.  I say it's probably normal.

Alot of times that will happen from prenates....are you taking vitamins yet?? Plus, it is normal with pregnancy to be constipated, which sucks, but that's the way it is.....Eat some high-fiber things, and try drinking some prune june, yucky, I know, but it works. If you are taking your vitamins, it could be that you're getting too much iron, I think it is, and may need to switch to something else. Ask your doc, mine switched my vitamins, and I didn't have that issue anymore. Good luck!!!
