Pregnancy Info HOME

Its probably just uterine growth you are feeling. It puts pressure on surrounding areas. The kind of pain you need to worry about feels like menstral cramping and it is usually low and in the center of the abdomen. If you experience that, you need to call your dr asap. Good luck to you.

I know you may be hurting but you're not going to be feeling too great if anything is wrong with her pregnancy. To Kerry, try not to get stressed as it wont help. If you are really worried call your doctor, but it doesnt sound like a m/c to me. And dont feel bad about asking the question, just some people are a bit more touchy about it than others :>) Good luck.

It sounds like nothing but you might want to go to the doctors just incase because if heaven forbid you did have a misscarriage and you didnt go to the doctors you would regret it afterwards. Better to be safe then sorry

To Mavis calm down. She is asking here because people in the first trimester forum might not be feeling cramping she is not throwing anything in our faces. To Kerri I think it is just stretching of the uterus. It can really be painful. If you are worried call your Dr. as Kara said a mc feels like bad menstral cramps...the stretching is a little different but it can be painful. Good Luck!!

Mavis, I think she's here because we've actually gone through different kinds of miscarriages, so maybe her sypmtoms will feel familiar to us, where in the pregnancy forum, most of the posters may not know what a miscarriage can feel like or early sypmtoms to look for. Chill.

Kerri... it may be gas? Are you constipated b/c in my first trimester I was contripated and had poppie pains! I even called the doc and went in and they gave me a laxative.

Mavis- I was really disappointed to see your post. I know you are grieving and I am sorry for your loss but If anyone should have sympathy it should be us who have gone through miscarriages. . She still has a fear of it and I can sympathize with that. I will be praying for you Mavis that you will be able to work through your grief and be able to come to terms with what has happened.
Kerry- I am also 10 weeks pregnant after 3 miscarriages, 1 loss of a son due to premature birth and 1 ectopic pregnancy. I suffer the same kind of pain occasionally and my doctor claims because of the placing of the pain (in the upper tummy) that this pain is caused from gas and constipation. My pain is above or around the belly button. When I've miscarried it's been pain in the lower abdomen and kind of like mentral cramps but worse. I would definently ask your doctor.

I have lots of strange tummy sensations, tons of gas and belching, with this pregnancy. It makes me feel very blah....

Whoah - To "To ERIN" You need to work thru some serious anger issues. Have you thought about seeing a therapist? Bitterness is not becoming on anyone. The worst part is that you know you are being ugly because you didn't even have the guts to post your name. So my advise - get help. Whether it be from clergy or a social worker or from that free anyomous number in the front of the phone book. Just talk to someone before your anger causes you to make other bad decisions. Did you know that Erin has had 4 m/c's and has had bleeding with her current pregnancy? (sorry erin, hope you don't mind me sharing your story, but I couldn't let this one go). She has went thru more loss than most of us that post here. Hey and you know what? I'm pregant too and I have gas and constipation! Does that mean I'm not grateful to still be pregnant? NO! And you know what else? I am nauseated most of the day too! Does that mean I'm not scared out of my mind that I might lose this baby too? NO! How dare you cuss on this forum. This is a supposed to be supportive and loving environment. You have no right to attack other posting here. If something bothers you, you have a right to express your feelings. But you do not have the right to talk to other women her like that. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Hi Kerri. When I was pregnant, ai had pains all of the time and it was only gas. Also, it could be your uterus stretching, and pulling. Try not to worry. Unless you are in pain, or have bleeding and discharge, then I'd go to the doctor.

To Mavis I am truly sorry for upsetting you and I hope that things get better for you soon. To everyone else thank you for you answers and support. I did see my doctor and he agrees that it is more displacement of everything else causing the pain. I was pretty tender and he said there is also a bad tummy bug going around. Anyway thank you so much and I wish you all the best of luck in all that you are hoping for. xxx

I also meant to say that I truly didnt mean to sound like I'm so perfect by being thankful that I hadnt had a m/c. I meant it as I said it, and I really sympathise with anyone who has experienced one. I hope no-one else took it that way...sorry and thak you all again. Kerri xxx

Marvis, you might want to see someone to help you with your feelings so you don't take it out on innocent questions like this. Kerri was just asking a question that runs through every womens head when they are pregnant. No one wants to go through a miscarriage and you should be thankful if you haven't been through one yet. I recently suffered my first miscarriage at the end of summer and it was the worst experience I ever want through. Women that have never been through one should be thankful.

First Trimester is not the appropriate forum for women who have suffered miscarriages, especially multiple miscarriages, and are either trying to get pregnant again, or are pregnant again. Obviously it is impossible for Mavis to reason at the moment, as her pain is most probably compromising her ability to do so. Which is very understandable. That said, Mavis's postings show a disrespect and lack of empathy for women who are suffering emotially due to previous miscarriages, even if they do happen to be pregnant again. The agony of having been through a miscarriage and fearing losing another pregnancy is agonizing. If Mavis tries to get pregnant again, she will realize this. And of course, despite her current behaviour, this forum will be here to offer her support. If Mavis is a real person (which I'm not sure about), or just a lurker stirring up trouble, please see a therapist.
