OH YES.....! Been getting them quite regularly now. As has been mentioned earlier they can been shooting pains or dull aches a bit like a pulling feeling and are usually quite low down. They are perfectly normal and nothing to worry about - it is just your uterus and ligaments stretching to...

Sounds similar to the pain I am getting. I have had it since I was 6 weeks preggers. I was referred to the Womens Health Physio at the Maternity Ward as I have a problem with my sacrum (sp?) joint in my lower back which causes pain in my left cheek (not the one on my face!!). Basically, I...

I too had headaches earlier on in my pregnancy. I'm not someone that suffers from headaches (didn't even get hangovers..!) They were very painful and right at the front of my forehead. I rang my midwife and she said it was best to go to the Drs to get it checked out. They took my blood...

I have just received my letter with the risk ratio for downs - happily they have put me at low risk for both Downs and Spina Bifida - I was expecting a high rating due to my age (37). I know these ratio's aren't 100% accurate but it has re-assured me somewhat. The confusing part for me is the...

That's good at least you don't have to wait too long. I'm just waiting for my letter to come through with my rating. I'm 37 and this is my first, I am expecting a high result mainly due to my age but have always said I won't have the amnio but am starting to think again now - i'm in two minds...

Glad everything went ok and you weren't in too much pain. When do you get your results? If you don't mind me asking what was your risk rating?

I was just wondering what surname you have or are planning to give your child/children. I am living with my b/f and are extremely happy. We will, one day, get married but until then I am still not sure what surname to give our first child. I will feel a little left out if I am the only one in...

Brilliant. I'm glad you have managed to hear the heartbeat first time, it was quite stressful for me not hearing anything so of course I panicked..! It's amazing isn't it. Happy listening..!

I got mine on buy it now on Ebay. I ordered it at 2pm and it arrive the following morning at 10am which was really impressive. However, at first I couldn't find any heartbeat at all so please don't be too concerned if you don't hear anything. I ended up worrying myself sick and went to the...

How about Chilli, Garlic Chicken - be careful of the heartburn after the garlic but it's scrummy or Chicken in ginger that's nice too. Oh god, you have got me wanting a Chinese now......

It's wierd, the 18 week mark must be the norm for bumps. I was showing slightly beforehand but you could only tell when I was naked, but yesterday I woke up and thought 'what the hells that!!' I suddenly had a bump, a proper defined bump. I took piccies on my mobile and send them to my fella...

on the back of my hands and the top of my feet - anyone else had this - it's so itchy it's doing my head in. Can anyone recommend anything for this or do I need to get it checked out? Cheers, Karen x

I'm a Technical Analyst (in I.T.) for a large Telecommunications company. I love my job although it can be very stressfull at times and includes a lot of travelling but I will be cutting that down as soon as bubba arrives. My bosses are really good though and we are having a call tomorrow to...

Hello all, Just to let you know, I asked the midwife if she wouldn't mind checking for bubba's heart beat and she was really nice about it. It took her a good 15 mins to find it but finally it was there fast and strong - Phew. Apparently I have an anterior placenta too which is why it took...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I've just had another try with the doppler and still nothing. I am about to go to the hospital for my physio appointment so I will ask if they will let me have a listen. Fingers crossed, I will let you know how I get on. Karen x
