What Causes Weight And Persistent Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy?
Hi my name is Dia and I am currently 10 weeks 6days pregnant and I am very fearful for my health. I haben t gained a pound and since finding out I was pregnant I have lost at least 10 pounds. My normal weight is 132.00 but I am 121 at the moment and have been very sick and unable to keep down or digest any real food. I am in constant pain with aching stomach and crippling cramps; both abdomen and back. I do not know what to do. I have no money for an abortion but I also am scared if I continue in this pregnancy I may become seriously ill or die from deteriorating health. Please tell me what I should do. I am very scared

Hi, Thanks for asking. I understand your concern. Please relax. Loss of appetite,nausea,vomiting in early pregnancy is due to pregnancy hormones... to which pregnant lady is not used to.It goes away as she gets adjusted to it...so relax,it's a normal process. Only thing is you seem to be more sensitive & reactive to hormones... so the excessive symptoms. In such conditiin you aught to get IV fluides along with vitamins &medicines to control nausea / vomiting /low apetite ....followed by normal diet. All other symptims like absiminal & bacj ache need to be examined & trejatejd accordingly. Please viait ER / some charitable or givernment hospital. Thabka.
