at what point should you worry about tummy pains?

dovehouse · Oct 30th, 2009, 15:55 PM

when do you need to seek advice with tummy pains?have had them now for an hour or so, not doubled up, but enough to make me put my hand on my tummy when i get them. its kinda lower abdomen, right side, but does move. also feel a bit sick and hot. no bleeding, i keep going to check! is it stretching pains or something to worry about if it doesnt go away?am almost 14 weeks

am i being a worry and ott??i know tummy pains are usual, bt not had them like this, for so long

As your feeling hot my first thought is a UTI? I would maybe call NHS Direct.
Hope you feel better soon. xx

My midwife said if it hurts enough to make you stop what you are doing (also if you are feeling sick and have temp) then to call your GP/Midwife asap. I would have though by 14 weeks an ectopic pregnancy would have gotten picked up though which I think is the main reason to worry with such other symptoms, so I am guessing it is stretching.

suddenly felt really weak and hot, had to come to bed and lie down. feel a bit cooler, but still get hot now and again. been to toilet twice in half hour, but then again may be just because i have just drank a lot with dinner. feel sick and keep getting pains in my lower back now too.doesnt hurt when i wee so dont think its a water infection. also got a bit of a headache, if it doesnt get better in the next few hours, and i keep going to wee, may ring nhs direct just to check. i just dont know if its something to genuinely worry about, or if its just something that will go away in the morn, but then if i ignore it and try sleep it off, will i harm my baby? its such a worry, never knwing whats right and wrong!

Personally, I would call them or try A&E to see if they will give you a scan. It would be a lot better to put your mind at ease than keep worrying.

Dovehouse please call the Dr sweetie! I think this is too much to ignore, I agree some pains etc are normal but I think you are experiencing enough that you should get it checked out.
Good luck!!
