Is this normal?

I am currently 9 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I have been experiencing alot of cramping, like when I cough or move a weird way and almost every time after I eat something. But after I eat is when it's the worst. It feels like I have to go to the bathroom really bad all of a sudden (number 2), and when I try to go it's sharp shooting pains that make me want to cry until I can get everything out. I have told my doctors about this and they didn't seem to worried about it. I had a miscarriage a few months ago, so I guess any kind of pain makes me nervous. And I do have a 6 year old but with that pregnancy I had no cramping, no nausea, nothing at all. So this is all new to me  anyways, is that normal? Amd if so, what are some things I can do to help with it?

I agree it sounds a lot like gas and or your uterus stretching. Also your second pregancy wont be anything like your first so dont worry yourself with symptoms you experience now thst you didnt before. W my first pregnancy it was easy breezy but my second i had the worst cramps ans God awful round ligament pain, it was so bad i couldnt even walk standing straight, i got bigger fast and that made my organs inside move faster and everything stretch fast snd made me have more pain. I think your ok and its just normal pregnancy pains and cramps but if you start bleeding then i would go into the ER immediatly however i dont believe you have to worry w that and your ok

That all sounds like a mix of pain from your uterus growing ( I get that a lot when coughing or something) constipation and gas. It's all very common. As above water is helpful and if that doesn't work talk to your Dr about anything else you can take to help.

Sounds like gas pain. Try eating more fruit and drinking water
