Abdominal pain...advice please?

Hi,

I'm just over 8 weeks pregnant and on Friday afternoon I had a really bad tummy ache, not at all like period pains. Luckily I'd just got home from work so I rested and was ok enough to go out later that evening. There was no bleeding but the pain was very unusual and for a little while I was doubled over.

It almost feels as though I've done too many sit ups and strained my muscles. I felt a lot better the next day but the strained feeling was still there. I called nhs direct and they asked lots of questions but didn't really have any answers?

Could this have been a miscarriage? Has anyone had this? Should I be worried?

Don't know if this is the same

Is the pain high up in your stomach or lower in your abdomen? I had bad stomach aches around your stage. I used to wake up with them and have to get up because lying down was too painful. I found if I ate something straight away and drank some milk it made it much better. It doesn't sound exactly the same but might be related. Try not to worry unless you have bleeding as well, if you're really concerned see your doctor and they may send you for an early scan.

Good luck,
Cherry (29 weeks today)
