for those with ibs, do you get really bad stomach cramps that aren't relieved by going to the toilet? I'm not sure but I feel constipated, and my cramps come on like labour pains and are really bad for a minute or two and then subside.
I've been having a bad attack over the last 24-36 hours with cramps ranging from every 15 minutes to every hour or so, plus a lot of vomitting. i know ive been stressed so i am presuming this is caused by it.
the trouble is, i am just concerned about telling the difference about actually having contractions and stomach cramps - from my last labour they felt EXACTLY the same!!
I am only 28 weeks, so of course i dont want to be in labour, and the stress of that i think was making it worse but now i am pretty sure its just these bloody ibs cramps.
any ideas about what i can do? I have never actually been diagnosed with ibs, but have always known i have a "dodgy" stomache, and it flairs up every few months or so.
