Due Date Club February 2006:Archie/others - pain when bending down

2005-11-16

Name: priya Hi archie/all,
Till about a week back, although there was some uncomfort in bending down b'cos of the gorwing stomach, I never felt any pain. But 2-3 days back I had some gas problems, b'cos of which I had some severe pain in my upper abdomen and was not able to eat at all, since I felt bloated. The pain was not constant, but kept increasing and decreasing. I was not able to sit in a place too. Had some difficulty in breathing and some pain in my legs. Actually felt like menstrual cramps, something like my legs were weak. Went to my doc and she prescribed vitamin E for the cramps and also asked me to increase my calcium tabs to twice a day. Also another tab for the gas problem. Now am fine regarding the bloatedness and cramps. But for the past 2 days when I bend down a little or sit down I feel like something is pressing against my stomach and feel some pain. Is this normal and b'cos of the growing stomach or is there any other reason for this?
Should add that the baby's movements seems to have increased and also more strong!! :-)) Thats one things which re-assures me that everything is fine. But even then just wanted to confirm why the pain happens.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. archie replied. looks ok to me.
do not bent suddenly and like smita said only when you need to bent.
it would get harder and harder to bent here after.
your stomach trouble must have to do with your eating, eat at home and completely cooked stuff.
archie Smita replied. do not bend. and if u have to absolutely, keep your back straight and bend with your knees. also keep your back straight when you sit. do not slouch.
take care
smita pooja replied. Hi Priya, I think what ur experiencing is totally normal. There is certain discomfort in bending as u approach ur 7th month and something seems to be pressing well girl that ur baby !! the more u bend u take away his space and he presses against u. As far as gas and indegestion is concerned the more me become bigger the more are interal organs get tooo close to each other causing us such issues. Eat 5-6 small meals a day and dont cook too spicy. As far as the baby's movement is concerned it will be more till teh 7th month and then litten up as u approach the 8th and 9th month. Dont stress PRIYA. take cre and be happy thats whats best for u and the baby. GOODLUCK....POOJA
