stomach pain/cramping during pregnancy?

Saturday I didn't really eat much because I was sick and then Sunday morning I woke up and felt severe stomach cramping that felt like hunger pains, but I didn't even feel the urge to eat. When I tried to eat I felt "grossed out". I ate 2 corndogs, but the pain continued for about 45 min after I ate. If they were hunger pains wouldn't they have stopped after I ate? What else could cause severe "hunger like" pains??
I am 16 weeks pregnant. Can Braxton Hick's contractions feel similar to hunger pains?

cramping is normal during pregnacy as long as it's not accompanied by bleeding. If there's bleeding or if the cramping continues, I'd go to the hospital. But take a rest, drink lots of fluids and try to eat some saltines, fruits or other healthy foods. Healthy foods tend to lessen the nausea for me.

Cramping during pregnancy.. normal?

I am 6 weeks pregnant, and I am having some cramping here and there. Some days I cramp, not severly though, and other days I don't. Is that normal?

I'm 5 weeks, saw my Dr yesterday, & asked this same question to which she replied, Yes.

Anyone else have difficulty eating in second trimester?

I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my first, and lately I find that I am unable to eat or drink much at all. I constantly feel like everything I eat is just going to get pushed back up. Especially when I bend over. Is the baby really big enough to be causing this yet? I assume it's just hormones, because I have had pretty bad heart burn all along.

I hear other women say they get hungier, but eating & drinking even small portions makes me sick.

Anyone else?

Every pregnancy is different. I didn't feel that way at all when I was pregnant with my daughter. I am now 21 weeks pregnant, and I feel that way. I feel like I'm starving, but when I go to eat, I take a couple bites and I'm full already. I'm having a boy, and carrying high, so I think he may be sitting on my stomach.

As far as the heartburn, I had that with my daughter, and she came out with a full head of hair. Studies show that if you have heartburn it can link to the baby having a lot of hair.

I would just eat as much as you can, and make sure you get plenty of fluids.

SHould women get pregnant after three months of birth?

a woman got pregnant whenthe oher baby is just three months old.she is doubting whether she will have any difficulties with the pregnancy.

It's not 'should' she but rather if she wanted to and it's too late now to be looking at hindsight.

Pregnancy Induced Hypertension at delivery 19 years old?

Hi! I just delivered my daughter about 6 days ago and at delivery i developed PIH I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this at 19 years old or around there my doctor says its very abnormal for this to be happening at my age but everything i read online says it mainly occurs in first pregnancies in women under 20 and over 35

what were your treatments?
how long did it take to get rid of?
what can i do to help this aside my meds?

today my blood pressure was 140/99 and then i tested again and it was 124/85 it always just jumps around.

i keep thinking im just going to have a heart attack or something and die i need reassurance and no one is giving that to me… i just had my baby and am supposed to be happy but im more worried than anything please help!

No experience here, but I do know that stress can cause your BP to be higher. Try and relax and just follow your doctor's orders.

What is the likelihood of me getting pregnant on the day I ovulate?

Barring any unforseen issues, what is the likelihood that I have become pregnant being that my husband and I had sex on the day that according to my cycle, I was to be ovulating? We have been trying for almost 8 months and it has sort of become frustrating. Also, how much do you believe that stress plays a role in difficulties conceiving?
Thank you.

well of all the days in the month the day before and day of ovulation are the best days so i'd say excellent

Has anyone had light spotting and cramping during early pregnancy and went on to have a health baby?

I am 5 weeks pregnant and been having mild cramping off and on for the past 3 weeks. This morning I had mild cramping and had light spotting on the TP. I am worried that I might be starting to m/c.

Also 3 months ago I had a m/c I was 19 weeks and went in to check the sex of the baby and they couldn't find a heartbeat and the baby only measured about 16 weeks and they had to enduce labor (it was a girl).

This is normal. Its called implantation bleeding and will stop soon. If it gets heavier, contact your OB immediately. As for the cramps, I had them throughout the first trimester and my baby is healthy @ 31 weeks.

For my project. How many women have had period- like bleeding during pregnancy and everything turned out fine?

Its a fine line between what some women consider spotting or what some consider period-like bleeding, so for the purpose of this question I will use the term "period-like" bleeding. For the women who have experienced ANY time of bleeding during pregnancy, how long did it last (in terms of hours or days) and at what frequency (every month, every few days) and what was it like (different in color than a normal period, cramping, etc)
I deleted my first question and rephrased it

In the first month only I had different types. I had spotting which lasted for 3 days and brownish in color and not very mucus like but a brown dryish bleeding. i also did have a one day bight red heavy bleeding with one of my pregnancies but that was it.
