Keep having stomachache but can't clear out

I'm at my week 17. After today's lunch, I started to have stomachache. Went to try to clear stomach but a little came out. Kind of soft, close to watery. Then the ache stopped. After a while the ache came back again, went to try to clear stomach but again only a little bit came out. This cycle happened about 4 times and I'm in the toilet as I'm typing this message. Anyone experienced this before? Not sure if it is normal or will impact my womb or not. Advice please! #firsttimemom #advicepls #pleasehelp

Pregnancy comes with constipation. Esp if you take folic acid tablets. All my pregnancies, same issue despite drinking a lot of water! lol! Don't worry. Just inform your gynae and he/she will advise you accordingly. Don't force out cos it really won't make it better.

Might be constipation, if this persistent you can ask for lactulose to soften bowels for easy pass motion. Do not force yourself to push to avoid abdominal pain.
