stomach pains

The past 2 nights have *not* been pleasant! Around noon on Sunday, my stomach started to hurt just a bit, so I ate lunch and took it easy (ie: watched TV and knitted). By the time I went to bed, it felt like there was a ball of hurt in there. I get the pain occasionally, and it usually goes away on it's own around 3am. I don't know what it is - gas? Nerves? Dunno. The Sunday night pain was typical - went away on its own.

Last night, I was feeling ok. Went to the gym for 40 minutes on the bike, ate dinner, watched TV and washed dishes. However, once I was about to go to sleep, a mild form of the stomach pain was back. I took a Tums and went to sleep. Around 2am, I woke up and the pain was worse - it's not *horrible*, it's just persistent and causes me to be so uncomfortable that I can't find a good way to lay to fall back asleep. After almost an hour, I realized that I was thinking too much about it - is it b/c I'm hungry? Gassy? Nerves? Dunno. I felt a little queasy a few times and thought that maybe having something in my stomach would help. This is similar to the first pregnancy, but eating in the middle of the night didn't happen until I was *way* past 5 weeks. I couldn't think of anything bland to eat that we had on hand, so I had a cup of milk. Almost immediately, I could feel it soothing things a bit and after another 30 minutes of laying in bed, I was finally able to go back to sleep.

I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up again about this pregnancy, but this one, so far, feels different than the 2 miscarriages. It feels more like the first one, that I was able to carry until 21 weeks. I think I'm over analyzing how I'm feeling at all times, but I have been swimmy-headed a few times already, and I'm hungrier more often. I've been drinking a ton of water and I keep carrots and bananas at the office for snacks so I'm not tempted to go for something unhealthy. I'm going to see if I can find those all natural Ms May bars (3 nuts, 3 seeds and 3 fruits) so I can keep them in my purse in case the swimmy-need-to-eat-now feeling takes over again.
