i'm 7 weeks and this is my first too! any extreme emotion (fear, anxiety, anger, happiness, sadness, whatever) always triggers my ibs! so the day i found out i was pregnant, i was beyond thrilled, but i spent all day in the bathroom!
I am also constantly starving now and dont always have safe foods around, so i have been getting out of my comfort zone alot, but thankfully my ibs hasnt been too bad, in my 7 weeks, ive only had flare ups about 3 times... sometimes i think that in lieu of morning sickness, i still get rumbly tummy and have to run to the bathroom shortly after i eat, although its usually not D, just...urgent!
the big worry for me is that i have a company trip in 2 weeks..which means getting on an airplane (i always dread that and usually take immodium to prevent any issues) and also means being in meetings and eating out (which i rarely do at home!)
how are you doing? feel free to vent! its always good to talk to someone who knows what im going through!
i read that you can use heating pads as long as you take it off when you feel your body getting too hot..but then again, that was a book, not dr.. i used my heating pad once..we'll see what my dr has to say about that tomorrow at my first appointment!
oh i also used to live off peppermint tea.. but i read online that it can relax your uterine muscles and cause you to miscarry.. so i stopped drinking that and basically just take acacia everyday and pray for the best!
