I have been having an on again off again
pain in my upper stomach for about 3 days
now. I am constipated so it could be gas
but it doesnt feel like the normal gas
pain. I took a laxative at my doctors
orders yesterday and still... Nothing.
But this pain keeps coming and going.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I have had off and on pains all through my
middle since the beginning. In the first
3 months it was mainly mild menstral like
cramps, sharp pains in/around my ovaries,
and then severe sharp pains when I changed
positions due to the stretching ligaments.
Now that I am about 6 months along and my
uterus is the size of a soccer ball, the
pains come from my growing uterus and baby
movements pushing my organs further up
into my rib cavity. The baby also has a
bad habit of hitting my cervix, causing a
feeling of pressure, and sometimes a pins
and needles feeling.
Those two growing things, baby and uterus,
are also causing my acid reflux to worsen
as they put pressure on my stomach. Gas
pains before pregnancy were sometimes
really bad, causing major double over
cramps, but they are even worse now since
all of those organs are pushed up into my
rib cavity.
I have also had occasional sharp severe
pains upon going to the bathroom. The
only thing I can figure on that one is
when my bladder is full it stretches my
muscles out even more, pushing the baby in
a different position, and then when I go
and my bladder shrinks back down, the
muscles shrink back into place again, and
the baby's position changes, causing pain.
