  • Hey I also have really bad ibs, I just was diagnosed with it after I had my first baby.. it brough on all the symptoms. I am now 14 1/2 weeks pregnant with my second child, and it has been really hard having ibs. It constantly feels like I'm going to lose the baby because I cramp all the time after eating. I don't know if it's the baby or if it's just my stomach feeling messed up. It does feel like contractions.. I hate it. Very hard to deal with.
  • Oh good! I thought I was the only one! Its horrible
  • Mines really bad atm aswell I also was diagnosed after my first child and now I'm unable to walk anywhere without needing to go toilet and had really bad cramping but last 2 months has been more comfortable jst the same when comes to leaving the house I don't know what it is but as soon as I leave the house I panic which makes it worse as you will know. And even though I really want a baby I'm scared ill get too ill with it and loose it and atm I'm having pregnancy symptoms but negative results but serioussss cramping. God I've just rambled on hope it makes sense. Thanks for commenting hope the pregnancy gets better and its all ok xx
  • Does anyone have any idea why it happened after I gave birth? @georgias_mummy you said you got it after your first child as well.. I wonder if there is a reason for it. Mine is also so much worse, because now that I'm pregnant.. i simply CANNOT go to the bathroom.. so my stomach just cramps horrible for a good 4 hours, and then goes away. it is a terrible feeling. So far everything is fine with the baby though, we have had ultrasounds and heard the heartbeat.. it's just scary to me because later in my pregnancy I fear I won't know the difference between labor and the ibs, because the pain/cramping gets SO bad.
  • No I have no idea all I know is nearly a year after I gave birth I was shopping and had a sudden cramp and urge to go and couldent hold it in headed towards nearist toilet but dint make it in time was 18 then and most embarrasing thing evaaa but now over the last month where I've had the symptoms I haven't needed to go as much if I'm in the house but wake up with cramps and can sit here for like an hour in serious pain. Don't know if looking forward to getting pregnant now lol hope pain gets better hun really do as I know how bad I am now. Keep me updated please as its good to hear how other people are finding it xxxx
