Impet, really? Oh well I guess we have another gym that's closer I can go be energetic at thanks for the hope, I feel horrible about my lack of exercise when everything says Oh you Must exercise daily now!!

Hi ladies!!

A quick question, did any of you have cramps in early pg, around 6 weeks? And if you did, what did they feel like?

Just asking because I've started having mild cramps but only on my left side, and of course I'm starting to get paranoid that it's an ectopic that's causing them They've been fairly mild and yesterday I only noticed them in the morning when I was lying down, but then forgot about them and don't remember feeling them during the day. Today they were a bit stronger this morning while I was still in bed, and have been there on and off since then, definitely a bit stronger than yesterday. When I say on my left side, I mean right by where my left hip is.

Any thoughts? Driving myself nuts here. Kicking myself for making my appointment with the gynae for tomorrow instead of today

Aww Plastik I've had them sound very simular to yours and i've been told its normal and not to worry, I actually think mine are caused by a bit of constipation...FX all will be fine!!!

 

[plastikpony]

Thanks Nimbec! Appreciate the feedback. Honestly, this parnoia is driving me nut! I just want to go home and sleep until my scan tomorrow morning! SO glad I made the appointment for first thing in the morning, I can't take any more waiting!

hi hun! hope u are warm since its freezing ttoday and some parts of Johannesburg are snowing.

anyway back to ur question - i've been having twinges on my left side aswell..and asked my doc about it but he said it's normal unless they become severe and unbearable and accompanied with blood then you have to be worried but for now...i'm sure its just ur uterus streching making enough room for the lil one

 

[justmeinlove]

Yeah, had that, I think it's just meant to be stretching :-D v.normal

Good luck with scan! :-D my booking appt in thurs then, weird!! Quite nervous, need a way of not being scared of blood tests :-/

 

[nimbec]

Plastik i am the same when i get cramps i'm worried, when i don't get them i'm worried!! I'm wishing ms on myself so i know things are ok!! and i have 17 days left until my scan arrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh get 2nd beta results tomorrow though so fx that will give me some positivity!!

Let us know how the scan goes

Morning everyone else i hope you are all ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[plastikpony]

Thanks ladies! What would I do without you!!

Well, (tmi alert) I just went to the bathroom (Nimbec, I'm definately not constipated! ) and now I'm getting the same cramps on the right hand side. So that accompanied by all of your reassurances has chilled me out a little bit

Mummy, it is frikken FREEZING here!! A high of 8 degrees?! Really? It's days like these that I'm really happy I gave up riding for a living and now have an office to try and get warm in!

JustMe, what do they do at the booking appointment again? And the best advice I can give you about blood tests is to take DH with you and don't look. Also try to just not think about it. I don't have issues with needles because I had thyroid problems my whole life and for a while at school i was going for blood tests every 6 weeks, got over that fear pretty quick!

I'm not sure my gynae is going to order more bloods for me since we've already done every test under the sun when going through the fertility issues, but I'm going to ask him to test my thyroid again, just coz I know it can cause problems with the baba if the levels aren't ok.

Nimbec- i thought i was the only weird one wishing MS upon myself i really envy ladies that have it...I'm almost 7weeks now but still no MS,no throwing up, no sore boobs anymore...although i have been eating a lot more - but i blame it on the folic acid and the Ciplaton Preg vitamins

good luck Plastik on your appointment tomorrow

 

[plastikpony]

We just had SNOW at our offices!!! SNOW!!!!

 

[nimbec]

hehe plastik good news on that front then LOL!!

mommy i know crazy isnt it that we are wishing illness upon ourselves !

SNOW?! blimey i thought we had it bad in the uk with torrential rain!

 

[MummyWant2be]

oh Plastik - how I envy you...my office is based in Pretoria- not snow here- not evena hint of it

very crazy Nimbec..

 

[plastikpony]

Just to show you all I'm not exaggerating!! SO excited, this is the first time ever I've seen snow!!

 

[nimbec]

OMG Plastik!! yey so you really never ever get snow?

 

[plastikpony]

Hardly ever! Especially where I am, in Johannesburg. Some of the more remote areas get snow every 3 years or so, but not PROPER snow. This is the first time in my 28 years of living in South Africa that I've seen snow. It was AWESOME!

 

[plastikpony]

Owee!! Stabbing pains in my bbs! Might be caused by having to suffer stuffed into a bra that is clearly too small now

 

[nimbec]

Haha thought i'd show you what i had to contend with - horses in this weather are a nightmare LOL!! Enjoy it while it looks pretty

 

[plastikpony]

Krikey Moses, THAT is a LOT of snow!!! One day I'll have to come and visit so I can play in it properly

 

[nimbec]

hehe definately for sure!!!! the horses had snow half way up their stable doors every morning last winter!! They were on enforced box rest for 4 weeks as too dangerous to get them out even gritting yard didn't work as the snow/ice was soooo heavy! Hoping this year is a little easier LOL!!!!!!

 

[justmeinlove]

Snow!!!
Also buy a new bra!!!
