XP - belly issue/ pain
Hey everyone, I was wondering what you thought....I am almost 2 years post op...and I am 11 weeks pregnant .
However in the past few days i have been having some ache-ing in the left side/stomach area. It feels more sore when my bowels are full. But once I go to the bathroom I feel mostly better. But there is still tenderness.
I am not sure if it is something to worry about or just an adhesion streching?? That is what it kinda feels like and what I have had before, Doc said it was just adhesions in there....I have a call into my OB and I am waiting for the nurse to call me back.
I hate to be paranoid, but we all know bowel obstructions can happen, however I am passing gas and poop....
Thoughts??? Thanks!

Could it be an ulcer in your stomach? (I had one about 3-4 months pregnant) When I went to the ER for my pain the ER doc suggested it could also be galbladder pain just reflecting pain on my left side (my pain was left / middle in my stomach area).
I was worried about obstructions too..... but an acid reducer DID help so I gave in and admitted it might have been an ulcer.
I have heard that obstructions are PAINFUL -- like bend over in agony pain. Even obstructions in the "blind loop" are painful.
I would say if your pain is that bad insist they do every test they can do while pregnant.....
Keep us updated on what happens!

Well I will tell you --- the more pregnant I got the more my body felt achy / painful inside when I was full.
(You know, I eat like a truck driver -- and while pregnant was eating 5000 - 6000 calories on most days.)
Before pregnancy I'd poop once in the AM unless I just totally ate something crazy (fried Snicker bars and egg rolls).
While pregnant, I guess because of the limited space, I'd poop 2-5 times a day..... and if I didn't poop I'd feel uncomfortable. Sometimes so much so I'd almost cry.....
So it's very possible if you have adhesions you have stuff pushing on them.
I hope the baby shifts and/or it gets better so you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

Hum? Just my experience with pregnancy but I find that with the increase in vits. that I take and I guess just the hormones my bathroom habits aren't my norm...sometimes it more often sometimes it's less often...but I usually get really horrible aches / pains before and after. I just see pregnancy flaring up IBS issues (irritable bowel syndrome), which I have very mild until I am pregnant...then it intensives. Good luck, I hope you get some answers soon.
I have IBS, too. My IBS is flared up right now. I am soo constipated it's unreal! I called my OB office to see if there's something can do. I have always had diarrhea and now the opposite. (TMI sorry) I am miserable and go like once or twice a week and I cry every time. So bowels SUCK DURING PREGNANCY!!!!! I hope we get relief soon.

Thanks everyone!! I think my initial thought was right - adhesions. I talked to the dr and nurse at the OBs office and since there is no cramping, spotting, etc....they think it is really nothing. So I am going to blame the baby, LOL. Moving everything around and there and making me eat more carbs, so there is more poop!
I feel for you though, I would rather be pooping that not, constipation is no fun!! Has your dr suggested anything you can do for it?
