Q: severe pain during pregnancy

When I first found out I was 3 weeks pregnant, I was so excited, but it didn't last long. The day after, I started having intestinal cramping, followed by constant diarrhea, and agonizing pain. It just continue to happen, for 3 long months. The pain was worse than the labor pain. It seemed as if my intestines were being pulled away from me, in every direction, twisted around, and there was no way to make the pain go away. It happened all day long. I chose to not take any medication, because I was concerned about the baby. No doctor was able to figure out what was wrong, from my ob/gyn to my gastroenteorolgist. Now my son is 8 months old, the pain has not returned, and everthing is fine. But I would like to get pregnant again. My fear is that the pain will return during my first trimester. Can anyone please help me?

I'm really sorry that happened to you, but there's no saying whether or not it will happen again. It might have been a one time only thing such as a real case of the flu, which is unlike our common "24 hour" bacterial flus.

It seems that it could not have been caused by hormones, although some women do experience diarrhea when they are late term in the pregnancy. I have found that they are many foods that I am allergic to while I am pregnant only and have to change my diet. Maybe this is true for you too.

Here is a link that will give you some hopefully helpful tips on how to change your lifestyle if you consider having another little darling.
