Only thing i can add is, maybe whatever it is, if it is IBS.. its flaring up while youre pregnant because you have alot lower immune system during that time and bubs is sucking all of your good levels away iykwim.
Im normally a target when it comes to mozzies, but whenever pregnant if i get bitten, they turn into large dark red bubble welts and sometimes get infected. Doctors have said its because i have a lot lower immune system to fight anything off. So maybe whatever it is is the same for you.
Havent really given you any answers as to what it is, but maybe why it is.
Hope can figure it out
My money is on gallstones, so I'm glad you've been referred for an ultrasound. The pain is caused when the area goes into a spasm, it goes in waves, and while I never had the runs myself, it makes sense that if one part of the digestive tract is spasming the other end could go in sympathy too.
Before you have your next attack, find out whether Buscopan is safe for use in pregnancy. It is a medication that specifically works on decreasing spasming pain through your digestive system, I only found out how well it worked just before i had my surgery. Wish I'd known months before. Whatever you do, don't take anything with codeine in it as it can set the spasm off by itself.
MD - DH thinks its gallstones still I think, cos of the stuff we've googled and thinks the doc was a total tosser. And I think I've looked once before that buscopan can't be taken during pregnancy, doctor told me to get immodium (which I practically lived on when I had IBS until a doc prescribed me codeine so I took a LOT of that instead to bung me up) so hopefully (fingers crossed) I get in for a scan tomorrow and get this sorted out.
I'm thinking I'll go to a scanning place at the private hospital, its more exxy, but greater odds of someone there taking the time to explain stuff to me AND get in on the same day. I just want it to end, and I hate hate HATE the fact that I'm feeling this at the end of my last ever pregnancy. I just want the pregnancy to end because I don't get this stuff when I'm not pregnant
