So I'm sitting at my desk at work this morning, when I got that "feeling" that I had to run to the loo to do number two...
As soon as I stood up and started walking toward the washroom, I felt a RIPPING, STABBING, SEARING pain of considerable intensity sweep over my entire lower abdomen. It really hurt! I almost had to catch my breath! The pain lasted for about 30 seconds in total, and then subsided completely.
I called my doctor's immediately because at that point I was thinking I was going to head straight for the hospital. My doctor wasn't available so the receptionist said she'd get her to give me a call. When I finally couldn't take the waiting anymore, ducked out of work, went home and checked the baby with the Doppler. Thank G-d all was well - baby's heart rate was about 155.
I haven't felt that pain again at all since it happened. Once I was able to shake the panic, I've felt totally fine, totally normal.
I think what I was feeling had something to do with my intestines - perhaps related to *clears throat* number two. Has anyone experienced this? Should I just chalk this up to one of the many mystery aches and pains that come along with being pregnant?

Just to be totally unhelpful to you... I reckon it was a good old cramp spawned from the need for a good old...let's leave it there shall we.
I'd imagine you will get many many more of these mystery spasms, you are harvesting an entire new human in your gut after all, which surely has more impact on your 'innards' than say, a burrito.
Relax, and enjoy!
Yes - I have noticed that when having to do #2 - there is some discomfort or AHH pain level involved. My poor co-worker experienced that ahhh pain feeling throughout her entire pregnancy when #2 was involved.
i have no idea-but i wonder if it might be round ligament pain?? no matter--i hope it goes away very soon.
Yeah, I had that with my pregnacies too. TMI, but it doesn't help the wiping part of the blessed event either...
Sorry :o)
Hang in there Mommy!! Glad to hear that everything is ok...have a great week :)
As long as there's no dizzyness/bleeding involved you should be out of the woods.
I tend to get them "ripped into half" type of pains even without a quite sensible justification of no 2 (when I'm pregnant, of course. which isn't now THAT often).
If it starts happening very often you're better off talking to your doctor, even if just for your own peace of mind.
Wish you happy and safe pregnancy!
