Morning Sickness Discussion

[EllyBoo72]

I had a look in the early preg symptoms page, but I couldnt find what I am experiencing, so I am not sure if it is normal?

I am getting mild "Gastro" type pains in my upper belly, not my pelvic area....With the nausea..I'm hoping I'm not coming down with gastro.....

If it is gastro, how will it effect my bub?

Thanks Ladies

I don't want to worry you, but I wouldn't have expected any pregnancy related cramps to be so high up.

If you do think it's gastro, worth a trip to your doctor, as irritations of the stomach and bowels can bring on contractions. I had this problem at around 24weeks.

Hope all is okay

Hi Ally,

First of all Congrats to you!

I had morning sickness for just over three months when i was pregnant with Tayneesha. After that was over it was smooth sailing for me. It sounds like you may have morning sickness and a little gastro. How long have you had the gatro for? It may have been something you ate but it will pass. You need to be careful of what you do eat as listeria can cause problems. I would go and see you GP to get some more advise. it passes soon and you feel better. Just make sure you drink plenty of water/fluids and also eat fresh veges and fruit etc etc. Hope this helps.

Thanks Ladies....It only started this arvo really....I probably shouldnt have had take out I know! Silly me...I have learnt now tho! I was out with mum, and we had to stop in at the shopping centre to get some lunch, as we were out longer than we'd hoped to be.....I should have chosen my food more carefully i think.

LMAO fletch!!! My goodness....what is going on here! I am an utter loony with this pregnancy....Its easier the first time round I say!!!!
Fletch....Its your pain just below your belly button in the middle ish?

Ally, it's not some kind of indigestion is it? I've had pains just below my ribs for a lot of the last 8 weeks, but it's indigestion kinda stuff - which I've experience before pg. It sounds like yours might be lower down though.

If you have not developed diarrohea or vomiting I would say it is just intestinal wind/cramps/discomfort that is a very normal and common "side effect" of pregnancy. I have had it with all 9 of my pregnancies...

Ally i've had the exact same cramps on and off. It's been when i've eaten something that my stomach has not really wanted at the time...and will usually end up in a good ol' fashioned chuck - lol! But if you are still concerned speak to your Dr

Thanks Rae...I am feeling alot better now I felt a bit flu ish this morning...so it may be a minor bug, or even more likely something i had for lunch yesterday! But at least those cramp type feelings have gone now!
