Im in my 2nd trimester and bohot constipated since few days. Along with that I keep getting these mild cramps lower down and now im confused if its the constipation or something pet related. Anyone else felt this connection?
Mild cramping is quite common with constipation due to bowel pressure, but it's always best to let your gynac know. They can suggest safe stool softeners. Don't take any over-the-counter syrup without asking them first.
For me, whenever I didn't go to the washroom for two days, my lower stomach would start aching. I used to eat soaked prunes and walk a bit, which helped clear things up. My cramps went away as soon as my stomach cleared.
Beta, constipation makes the stomach very heavy and causes mild pain. Just try eating green leafy veggies and drink lukewarm water morning morning. If pain is too much, then please talk to your doctor immediately.
Actually yaar, constipation can make your whole tummy hurt like crazy. I used to get these mild cramps and think something was wrong. But it was just gas, so drink warm water and chill.
Now that my kid is running around, I look back at how much I panicked over these things! Constipation does cause weird cramps because of all that pressure and gas. It usually goes away after a good bowel movement, so eat more fiber.
Oh ya, it absolutely can. When my stomach was blocked, my lower belly used to feel so tight and crampy. Just drink loads of water and don't stress too much, but if the cramps feel really bad, ask your doc once.
Between office and fatigue, dealing with tummy cramps is the worst. Constipation was the main culprit for my cramps too. I started carrying pre-soaked chia seeds to office and drank 3 liters of water, which sorted it out.
I completely get why you are scared, even a tiny pain made me Google for hours during my days. Honestly, constipation gas can cause really uncomfortable cramps. Just keep an eye, if the pain gets sharp or there is spotting, definitely call your gynac.
Haha, welcome to the glamorous side of pregnancy where gas rules your life! Those cramps are likely just trapped farts and hard stool asking for exit. Just drink a gallon of water and walk a bit.
With two babies squishing my intestines, constipation cramps were my daily struggle. Sometimes you can't tell if it's the babies stretching or just yesterday's roti stuck inside. Safe to mention to your doctor if the pain doesn't go after passing gas.
Currently holding a crying baby with zero sleep, but let me tell u, pregnancy constipation is another level of torture. The gas cramps literally felt like contractions to me at one point! Just drink warm water and survive, but do call your doc if it feels too heavy.
