A member asked:
Had a big bowel movement this morning and 6 weeks pregnant belly disappeared. had very slight cramping at night that felt like gas. what happened?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: You had a large hard bowel movement. Stool and gas in your colon caused distention (and pain) that resolved with passage of the stool. Residual gas probably moved later that night = cramping.
