    Chest pain and abdominal pain at 8 weeks.

    I posted this in my belly buddies thread, but in the hopes of hearing from someone who has experienced similar, or maybe some guidance from a nurse/midwife, Im posting here as well.

    Why am I waking up with abdominal pain (like period pain) everyday? Today is the 3rd day in a row and its been more painful each day. It settles by midday-ish but it hurts!

    Also Im having chest pain multiple times a day now. Could it be related to my low BP? Its always the left side and usually when Im stressed with DS. This morning I have woken up with it and 10mins later it still hasnt gone away.
    Ive had what I was told is muscle pain in my chest before which feels similar but that moves around and is usually lower and more to the side. This is always the inner left of my chest.

    Add a headache and nausea and I feel like absolute poo on a stick. And have to walk DS to his swimming lesson this morning. Waaah! I just want to cry.

    Calluna. I hope you can get some answers. I have had similar. Some chest pains and abdominal cramps and also low blood pressure. No idea if its all related though... I'm having half a powerade each morning and its helping with the bp I think. Not getting as faint, dizzy etc.

    I thought I was having chest pains early, but it was just heartburn. I would wake in the middle of the night and my whole chest would be in pain and I was freaking out. It didn't feel like a 'burn' early on either, it was more a dull achey pain, thats why I didn't know it was heartburn.

    ThanksTasha, Its kind of a sharp stabby pain. Takes my breath away at times.

    Thanks Preggo. Maybe it is related. I was too scared to Google in case I convinced myself I was having minor heart attacks. Lol

    Calluna, I had the heart pain only for a very short time, the midwife told me it had something to do with your organs moving around making room for bub.

    But if it keeps happening definitely go get checked hun.
