Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[Dollybird]

I just can't help but feel like something's wrong.. Xxx

 

[girlinyork]

Better safe than sorry. It probably is muscles and ligaments but get it checked anyway x

 

[merristems]

Sounds like maybe youre stretching, i used to hurt when i worked long days on my feet, resting deff helps and baths. If your worried though call midwife i think we should be more pushy with them, the're there to help us at the end of the day, and your a nurse so im sure if you have concerns they should take you seriously xxxxx

Dolly, I was out walking the other day, a short walk turned into a 6 mile walk, I had a heavy achy feeling after, I get it when I'm on my feet too long too, but always get it checked out for peace of mind x

Congrats on those who have found out, so many boys due in this group !!

I have leaking boobs !!! Already !!

Hugs to everyone x

Quick question ladies.. Anyone else ever get a horrible heavy/Achey feeling right down low in their pelvic area? Been at work today and been busy on my feet all day.. And by about lunchtime felt my bump so heavy and pelvis and all Achey.. Almost like I needed to hold it up. Anyways ended up coming home early from work and feel better now I'm lying down.. Thoughts anyone?? Dunno if I'm worrying about nothing xxx

Honey I get this. I work in a hotel and some days I walk around and around the bloody place, I also walk too and from work a total of 4miles and yeah I get that. Once I rest I'm ok though, pregnancy is so tough on our bodies and it's just its way of saying 'ok sit down now!'

I also get bouts of spd when I've done too much and that pretty much feels like I've been beaten with a baseball bat in the groin/hip area.... Dtd is almost impossible at the moment as my pubic bone feels so bruised... Sometimes I take the pain though... a girl has needs

Cor that turned into a long post, I really don't think you have anything to worry about

It's so easy to panic over aches and pains when PAL. I had pain in my back yesterday by my kidney area and was convinced I had an infection and would have to be admitted for an IV but then I did a massive trump and felt better.

 

[BeautifulD]

Yeah it so is! remember a week or so back when I woke up in the middle of the night in shere panic? I could barely get out of bed but when I did....... the gravity helped let things out that needed to come out, if ya get my drift!? Xx

Ha ha giy

Dolly I have actually posted about this a few weeks ago! I get it now and again and it can just be from walking 2 mins and its such a heavy pushing heavy sensation I HAVE to sit down...then it goes! But yes check with mw or antenatal dept...I asked my mw and she said it sounds like BH-well its nothing like them so I can't help thinking she is useless amoung other things-despite her having the qualification and not me ;-) Btw ive had no more of those tightenings - a few bumps which is baby for sure so another overreaction from me! But they are normal though (the BH and the overreactions!)

Feeling much better ladies cough mixture worked a treat-bit phlegmy now :-/ but can deal with that! And bubs kicking away!

 

[merristems]

Can i sk you all which dopplers you brought? Anyone used angel sounds or new angelsounds?

 

[BeautifulD]

I have the sonoline b... I did have the angelsounds one but sold it after my last loss. Didn't seem right keeping it for this one.

tbh although I never got to hear my beans hb I didn't like it, I found it awkward to use.

Although the sonoline is more expensive I love everything about it! xx

 

[girlinyork]

Before I got daily movement I used the hi bebe bt200. It found baby at under 9 weeks really clearly

 

[A1983]

I have the sonoline b doppler and have found it brilliant-only bought it and used it from 12 weeks as was too nervous about not being able to find a hb-but it was easy It has a decent digital screen too and cost me about £40

 

[flapjack10]

Hope you're ok Dolly. Don't feel silly for getting checked out if you feel you must. I have had similar aches though so I would guess, like the others have said, that it's stretching or over exertion.

Hope everyone else is ok! Not long until Spring now!

FJ--I know the feeling about bloody noses and mucus ugh. I have had a bloody nose since my bfp and had sinus dranage which I never have problems with sinuses since aobut 7 wks.

Dolly--Hope your doing ok and the pains were normal I am sure they are b/c I had cramping pains and pains like pressure pain on my cervix the other day but so far still fine.

JFG--Hope your feeling better. I did not hve a cough but I had stopped up, runny nose and very sneezy the beginning of January for about 2 wks dr said musinex works and said clariton but I never took the clariton.

AFM--So far second morning in a row I woke up and did not have that If I don't eat something soon i will be sick sensation. Got a little worried this morning b/c I checked for hb and could not find it for a while. I finally found it though high up in the mid right then it moved to the high mid left. I have not felt a definate kick but I am feeling more swirling motions like rolling or flipping more now. 9 more days till anatomy scan.

Hope you are feeling better Dolly. I'm sure it's just due to you being on your feet a lot and things are all good with the snuggly bean.

Hi Everyone! I'm so jealous you all are feeling movements! I haven't so far. 19 weeks tomorrow. But, I also have a very busy GI tract. Thank goodness I have to take iron to stop me up a little bit or I'd probably be in the bathroom all the time. Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing baby movements thanks to all my other movements!

I have a Sonoline B doppler. Worth it's weight in gold. Really reassures me that bubs is good when I can go listen to him since I can't feel him yet. And I know he does move around because he will be in different places or sometimes swim away when I'm listening.

Attaching my bump pics. This was before makeup so ignore the pasty face, and me rolling my eyes at DH in one of them!

 

[merristems]

oh wow you have just completely reassured me Mackjess, i have been wobbly for last few days thought baby stopped growing, and as i dont have any movements yet its so scary. I know its early days for me, So it good to hear when people are further along anD not getting majorly noticable kicks and swirls. Great bump btw

I am still soooo hungry infact today is a bad day, i just need to eat constantly i need some ideas for healthy in between snacks im at a loss right now! I caved and brought the angel sounds doppler, i know its cheap and has mixed reviews but fx it will be good enough!

Try not to worry Dollybird, I had a few weeks like that, was just a really heavy feeling down below, midwife said it could be spd, I bought a maternity belt from Mothercare, it was only £12.00, I dont use it all the time, but when I take the dog out for long walks, I pop it on and it does help relieve some pressure, but if your concerned, see the midwife, also better for peace of mind. I also have had no movement yet, I have been checking with the doppler every couple of days and she seems fine, I just cant wait for the movements then I can relax, 19 weeks tomorrow, never did I think I would be here, roll on July. I hope everyone else is doing well.

 

[flapjack10]

Looking good mackjess!

[Dollybird]

Thankyou ladies!! Well I ended up calling the midwife. She was absolutely lovely and advised me to lie down for an hour, an if it didn't ease off go up and see her. Well it did ease off so looks like it was ligament/growing pains made worse by overdoing things! I thought it was probably that but i can't help but worry about any aches and pains that are new to me! Needless to say ill be taking it easy at work from now on. Not really felt bubs move past couple of days but having used the Doppler I have a suspicion that bubs is sitting behind my placenta just now as the hb sounded kinda behind the noise of it if that makes sense? Could hear a lot of kicks also but wasn't feeling them. Hoping it goes back to its usual position soon I miss those little jabs!! Think im gonna get one of these belt thingys. been having a lot of back pain anyhows an the midwife has refereed me to physio to be fitted for a support belt which im Presuming is just the same Thing? Mackjess you bump is lovely!
Hope all you ladies are doing well. Xxxxx

My doppler arrived today and i am sooo relieved to say found hb! Was hiding low by my pubic bone maybe thats why it been so achey down there. 137bpm so all good on that front so so happy
