What Causes Stomach Pain And Constipation During 13 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
Hello. I am 13 weeks pregnant as of Aug 25th, 2015. Yesterday, I was experience extreme pain on the left side and in the middle of my stomach. I guessed that it may have had something to do with gas since I have been constipated lately. In my last stool passed today, I saw very black stool. I read online that this may mean that there is blood in my stool. Can you help me understand what may be going on with me?
Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the pain might be due to constipation.The black stool can also be due to iron supplements intake.Blood in stools in pregnancy might be due to anal fissure or piles due to constipation.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres and high fibre diet and laxatives to prevent constipation.Also get an examination done by doctor to rule out piles.Nothing to worry.Constipation is routinely seen in pregnancy.Hope this satisfies your query. Feel free to discuss further. Best regards...Dr Srilatha
