Hi there,

I am just needing to find some answers as doctors are not helpful towards me at all!

i am 20 weeks pregnant and On Sunday night i had severe vomitting i couldnt even stand up, i vomitted about 5 times and it was very painful!
I then had servere abdominal pains every 15 minutes, ithought it may have been something to do with having to go to the toilet but ive been since then and no problems.
I now get the pains every couple of hours and its that bad for about 5-15 mins that i cant breathe! There is a small pain or cramp there all day tho and all night.

I went to the doctor yesterday who said she isnt too sure on the pains, but have bed rest as i also have a cold and moved house on the weekend she said to take it easy and if it doesnt go away by tonight to head up to the hospital.. Not very helpful at all!

So if any one can shed some light that would be great, as im starting to get worried but i can feel my baby moving around every now and again!

thanks!

If you are concerned and not getting any better you could ask for a referral for an ultrasound. However, it sounds like it is probably part of the gastro. Hope you are feeling better soon xo

I think if you are still getting the strong abdominal pains to go to the hospital to get checked out. Forget the Drs if you are worried it will be worth the hossy visit to ease your mind.

FWIW - I have had bad constipation this pregnancy (sorry TMI) and I know that after I do have a movement I tend to get crampy but not as severe as yours sounds. It could very well just be your body adjusting after working so hard with all the vomiting.

Still I think if you still experience so pains to go to the hossy they may be able to offer something to help the smooth muscles relax and stop contracting (cramping) they will also do a check of bub but I am sure bub will be fine

I hope you get over your cold soon, I have one as well its just aweful!!

Hi MsJames
It sounds like you could have a bug however I agree with the others, It is something that should be checked out

Sorry don't know about the sympthoms you are currently suffering from but FWIW I have been talking Vitamin C supplements throughout pregnancy and have managed to avoid getting cold/flu so far (touch wood). This is despite hubbie getting heavy cold and several people in work smothering with cold at different times. I am just guessing but think the Vit C must have done some good. Might be worthwhile taking some.

Cheers

Hmm it could be gasto or a bug, although to be safe you could always go to the hospital , at least they will see u and give you a scan and check you out

Unlike your Dr did, that really annoys me when Dr's pass everything off so easily like that, we are so worried and see to know whats going on and they are like hmmm im sure your fine.

come on!!

I really hope ur ok
