Was up most of the night with awful back pain in-between my shoulder blades which I attributed to gas pains. Used my catheter 3 times and even though a good amount came out there was little relief. Slept on the heating pad and then violently threw up at 9:30am. Feel okay at best, scared to eat but know I have to or the cycle will repeat. So much soreness under my ribs too. This is my 3rd pregnancy-had very few problems with my first two but it's 9 years later. 😩😩😩

Hi Tracy,
As it's 2 days later, I hope you are feeling better!!! Let's hope it's just a bug and nothing more. However, based on your symptoms, my first concern would be gall stones (abdomen pain, upper back pain, vomiting are all classic symptoms). They are much more common during pregnancy. Nausea, pain, and vomiting can also be related to a bowel obstruction. You'll definitely need to be evaluated if the symptoms don't subside. Hope you either are feeling better or have some answers!!
Tracy, any updates?
Thanks for checking in! Had a pretty good week-normal pregnancy things but not j-pouch related! Once I threw up on Sunday I got much better. Working on staying hydrated. I see my OB on Weds. so I'll make her aware.
