7 wks pregnant with pain at pouch site

Bronwyn Zozula

Hello,

I am one of the lucky few who managed to get pregnant fairly easily, only 7 months trying. I don't have a GI right now as I have recently moved, will be meeting with a new one next month.

I have been having pain on and off at my J pouch site, kind of like pouchitis pain, but not as constant. I am worried, and can't stop thinking that something is wrong.

Has any one else experienced pain like this? Is it just my body adjusting and stretching?

Thanks for your help!

As my pregnancy moved along, I definitely pooped more as she grew and took up space. Kinda like how some women can't stop running to pee; my kid affected my pouch function that way.

Had pain at my old ostomy site, adhesions stretching, till they stretched all out.

Never had pouch "pain," per se. Just the upped frequency.

Thanks for your help Rachelraven, I have also noticed an increase in my output. Although 7 wks seems a bit early... fingers crossed I make it to 12 wks!

Hi Bronwyn,

I am about 8 weeks along and already experiencing increased output and gas due to the pregnancy (yay). Gas can cause intermittent pain for me, but I would find a GI as soon as possible to get checked for pouchitis - if that's the cause of pain you don't want that hanging out with all the other discomforts of pregnancy!

I am in week 17+ and have experienced pain due to gas. Yesterday my pouch closed of and I had full stop. Luckily it helped when laying down, but when the flow started again I had to run to the bathroom all night. Now its morning here and I am sore all over. Trying to drink lots of water and eat some oatmeal before I go to work. But fear not this is my first time with this problem during my pregnancy ☺
