Just found out i was pregnant

[Mish9807]

Hi, I just found out i was pregnant.  I'm probably only 2 weeks.  I am having alot of gas pains and twinges in my stomach.  is that normal?  All foods are not appetizing to me.  Should I be experiencing all these different pains between my chest and abdomen?  This is my first so i don't know how you are suppose to feel or anything.

Thanks

Thank you for the advice.  i have been eating peppermint. It seems to help.

I had tons of gas pains at first. Better after the first couple months but still have it now and then. Lemon, ginger and peppermint can all help relieve gas or nausea.

that is great news. I am going to tomorrow I will talk to them tomorrow. I will voice my concerns and see what they say.  
Thank you

Trust me! It may be harder for us but it is SO satisfying and worth it when you hear that little rapid heart beat! My pains around 6 and 7 weeks were so bad I thought I was miscarrying! Turned out I just had another cyst trying to resolve itself. If you are really nervous though, I wouldn't be scared to ask the doc for an ultrasound to confirm that everything is good. I had one at 6 and one at 7 weeks just to make sure everything was going along properly. You hear a lot of horror stories with the PCOS, but it gets easier and I'm having so much fun with the pregnancy now!

I will try that.  I stinks that having PCOS makes things worse.  Having all these pains scares me. I am trying not to think negative. I just don't want to lose the baby.  Thank you for the advise. it is nice to know others are out there with the same issues.

I asked my doctor about heating pads to help comfort and he advised to try and stay away because it can raise your body temperature such that it may hurt the baby. The BAD cramps will resolve themselves soon. Try propping your feet up while you are sitting or laying down. It helped the cramps ease for me!

I have PCOS also and I feel like that amplified all the "normal" pregnancy feelings! I am 16w5d now and I still have some of the bad gas pains and the weird twinges in my stomach! Hang on though! Mine eased up a lot by 14 weeks. The nausea and distaste for all food has not changed much but you'll adjust quick to which foods you can and can't eat. I hope you get a little relief :) feel better! Good luck!

is there anything you can do or take to make the gas pains go away???

[Mish9807]

all my levels were good yesterday. I don't understand why i am having such pains today. I am going back tomorrow to see if my ecg goes to 100.

[Mish9807]

i had the worse pains yesterday under my chest.  it had to be gas. Nothing I did made it go away. I ended up sleeping with the heating pad. It was so bad. Now today my stomach is killing me. I feel so crampy.  I feel like i want to throw up.  I feel horrible.

Your welcome.. Good luck :)

[Mish9807]

I am glad it is normal. since this is my first i'm a bit scared.  I just want to make sure it is ok.  Thank you

Im 12 weeks pregnant n this is my 2nd child I have the same feelings n I do believe its gas however I didnt have a + test til I was 5 weeks with both kids & im just now gettin to where I can eat bc NOTHING was appetizing to me either food nor drink... good luck :)

[Mish9807]

All of the above.  Is that normal?

If you ovulated on Nov. 28th, you would be 4 weeks 3 days right now. Ultrasound in a few weeks however will be able to confirm for sure how far along you are.

What does the stomach pain feel like? Pressure, pinching, gnawing, burning, squeezing, etc.

[Mish9807]

I won't know until today. I just had blood work done.  I really don't know how many weeks i am.  The dr told me Tues I was pregnant. That was my guess.  I am so bad that i don't even remember when my last period was.  I have PCOS.  I go the drs almost every week. They basically tell me when to have sex. I was ovulating the week of Nov 28.  I wasn't pregnant then unless I was and it was way too early.  This is all new for me. I just don't like the feelings I have in my stomach

When was your LMP? It's not possible to be two weeks pregnant, as you would just be ovulating. Pregnancy is not dated from when you last had sex, but from the first day of your last period.
