upper abdominal pain spotting
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) during Pregnancy?
Currently 12 weeks pregnant – have had spotting for last 5 days (vary between light brown and light pink colour), lower abdominal pain, upper abdominal pain (heart burn), the noisiest tummy in town (so much wind but can’t release it), and constipation. Had 12 week ultrasound on Friday and was told the baby was perfectly healthy, no abnormalities, heartbeat 164.
I had been diagnosed with IBS when I was 15 years old and have always had issues with my bowel movements (normally very loose!), so I am thinking perhaps it is my IBS playing up and causing me the pain?
I have a doctor’s appointment this week to have it checked out and I was in hospital last week getting the spotting and cramps checked out. I was just told to rest as cervix was closed.
If you have experienced pregnancy with IBS can you please let me know your symptoms and extremity of them.
I have awful IBS. It really acted up badly during the first 15 weeks of my current pregnancy. I am 24 weeks now and it has definitely gotten better. I had diarrhea and bad abdominal pain. Then I would have constipation and feel like I was having menstrual cramps. Then the blow out would come. I started drinking tons more water and it has helped. You can have menstrual like cramps or contractions if you are dehydrated. It helps with the constipation as well.
