I'm going through it too, and get tummy pain as well. I think it is because your body is expanding which causes muscle spasms. I'm finding I'm having good days and bad days. I have been drinking lots of water, sleeping as much as I can and eating crumpet toast with vegemite or jam. It is helping, especially earlier in the day, and by tea time, I can eat dinner. I've also found that once I have been sick, I feel alot better and I then have something to eat.
Good luck with it all hun, and you are not alone! lol.

If it is wind, try taking a dose of Mylanta as this can sometimes help move the wind along and get it out! It can cause lots of pain if it gets stuck!( Mylants is safe to take while pregnant) Try bending over in the middle and also try gently massaging the area where the pain is in long firm strokes - this can help move it! Also avoid gassy foods like onions, cabbage and beans! Great advice from others re water not soft drink! It could also be a bit of a tummy bug that you have picked as the stomach can spasm causing pain. It may not be morning sickness but a tummy bug that has made you feel lousy for the last few days!. Congrats on the great news! Hope all is well and that you start feeling better soon.

well i had no idea you are pregnant, but now i do so firstly, congrats. Drink water not coke, as the coke will dehydrate you.....perhaps one can a day instead of however many you have. It is possible that you could be experiencing wind pains or the beginning of dehydration, but pains early in pregnancy are common for most women, just keep your eye on it and if you start to "show" at all then get to the hospital ASAP. Hope this helps a little. Cheers

when is your doctors appt and if isnt soon, i would be getting kenny to call the surgery this morning and advising them what happened last night and that it would be in the best interest for you and bub for the doc to see you today....

Also drinking water instead of your sweet tooth of coke would help as well, and i know u have children, but maybe if kenny is home get them to watch the girls and you rest as well....

Hope you feel better soon.....

well, how far along are you? I had sickness till i was well into my 3rd trimester. the cramps are most likely from dehydration. make sure you drink PLENTY of water and if you drink caffene then you need to drink more water because the soda pops help dehydrate you. i had the same thing happen to me, i went to the hospital and they said thats the problem. im sure it is with you too. sorry the hospital couldnt be more helpful! I hope I am more so than they were!
