1st trimester
Cramps
WendyGuest ·
Hi there,
I'm almost 9 weeks pregnant and I'm a bit worried. I've had severe cramps in my bowels for 2 days now, along with diarrhea. I can barely stand up straight because of the pain. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

It's totally normal, your uterus grows quickly and that causes your intestines to get irritated too.
I mainly had issues with constipation... with my youngest son I didn't poop for 12 days, luckily I got Microlax. -

Hormonal shifts can cause digestive issues (and even irritable bowel syndrome). If you're really worried, you could give your midwife a quick call to ask what you should watch out for, etc.
Anyway, make sure to drink plenty of water because of the diarrhea, otherwise you might get dehydrated.
