It's funny I read this yesterday and thought to myself "hm, never had it, can't help there" but then I experienced those pains last night! so weird. glad to see it's "normal" though.

Thank you all so much for the responses. I was so nervous when it happened and luckily no pains this morning. At least if it happens again I won't freak out!

I get it every 2 wks..my friend had it for the 1st time last night & she was kinda freaking out...theres not a lot you can do..I tend to put pressure on that area when I have to go...I'm guessing its from the muscles in your lower stomach or ligaments....i know its painful, but you have to just push through it.

I get it, too. My doctor said its normal and it doesnt hurt the baby. Mine actually turned to constipation and my doctor said i can take colase to help. It because tissues are softening in your body and they have a harder time eliminating waste.

I'm happy you posted this. From week 5-6 this happened every single time I had a bowel movement. It was the worst in the morning but it did continue through most of the day if I went again.
Sorry, I have no idea what it is, but it did go away for me. My guess is that the pelvic region is sensitive and any "pressure" hurts...but that's only my guess

constipation is normal during pregnancy. As long as it is not accompanied with bleeding or constant pains it is normal. Although if bleeding occurs I highly recommend seeing your physician as hemorrhoids have been known to happen during pregnancy. Otherwise I just advise you to drink lots of water. Hydration can make things go "smoother" and reduce discomfort.
