What Could Painful Stomach During Pregnancy Indicate?
i am a week away from being 5 months pregnant. last night i felt some horrible pain in my stomach like cramps/gas but i honestly dont think it was either one. i could barely sleep. do you know what could be causing my pregnancy to be so uncomfortable?
Hello, If you are pregnant for the first time, you cannot differentiate between fetal movements and abdominal tightening easily enough at this early stage. Also, you could be suffering from gastro-intestinal symptoms. Please get a proper evaluation by your health care provider and get treated. Constipation and gastritis if present should be treated with antacids, stool softeners and a healthy bland diet with adequate liquids. A sonogram of the abdomen also should be performed to check the fetal well-being. Hope this helps.
