Abdominal Pains?
Posted: 09-21-05 17:38pm

Hi

this is my first pregnancy and I think I am about 6 weeks. Its scary, obviously everybody has different experiences, no two pregnancys are the same but I was wondering if anybody has had similar symptoms to me and may be able to explain if its normal (i am far from normal!) I have been suffering really bad bloatedness/trapped wind and a fairly constant abdominal ache, more than frequents visits to the loo (which I believe to be normal). However I was woken at 3am by a severe abdominal ache, everything began to hurt, not so much a pain but but a dull ache in my back, tummy and even my legs. My stomach felt really warm and I began to feel really hot, clammy and nauseous. It passed after about 10 mins but was a scary experience.....Any ideas? I have contacted my gp before this but he advised I need to wait till about 9 weeks for my first check up.

Thanks for your help

You doc is a little goofy if he is telling you to wait. You might want to consult with another Dr. In the area. I have had a m/c and an ectopic. I am currently about 5 1/2 wks. I think a little cramping is normal, but for you to pass out! No that's not normal. If this happens again, go to the hospital. You need to have your hcg levels checked and get a sonogram to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. I wish you the best of luck, and that what you experienced was just normal.
