Good to see you here! I hear you Mrs, i am litteraly counting down the days till I'm 12 weeks. It probably sounds so stupid but I love coming on here each morning just to see that my ticker has moved on a day 
It keeps me going! When is your first midwife appointment? x Take it you will be having a quiet weekend with your back then hun? x not sure how this weekend will turn out with trying to relax. I have my car mot in the morning and then we are meant to be meeting the in laws for breakfast and then off to Sheffield to visit Gavins nan. She has had her operation and so far so good! I also have housework to do and soup to make! Not the busiest weekend I've had but busier than I need lol. Make sure you continue to rest this weekend 
I used to get pins and needles all the way down to my toes. Depending on how far down my leg they were would depend on how bad it was that day If it reached my toes it was a bad day, if it was my lower leg it was a good day 
I also used to be able to judge good/bad days by how easy I could put my socks on in a morning 
An Ice pack should help as it should reduce the swelling of whatever is putting pressure on your nerve, though if it's muscular then a heat pack might be better, but I'd be wary of a heat pack in pregnancy 
Ice always worked for me but then that's because my pain was caused by my ruptured disc pressing on the nerve
I actually take comfort in them in that I wouldn't be getting them if the nudger wasn't ok and growing nicely
So glad to hear Gavin's Nan has got through the operation and is doing well. It will take a while longer for her to heal but I am sure she'll be just fine Hmm I've been having that weird feeling in my leg too! I was actually punching my leg the other day to try and get some feeling back in it Hopefully it's just a passing thing for me x & you can't beat the feeling of seeing the words Pregnant on a digi. Aww mittens are just the cutest! I've only bought one babygrow so far but I know we're heading to Asda in a week or two and I fear what I may end up buying lol. I've had cramp type pains too, not period type cramps a different kind. I had to go to bed one night they were so bad but it's all part of our bodies adjusting. I panicked too, it's natural but soon realised it was all part and parcel of being pregnant. I actually like feeling something know, reminds me there is a little bubba in there 
x Saying that though I think my scan will be in November and as I don't have any holidays left at work I think i'll have to go straight back too 
Can't wait to hear all about yours! x I'm not doing well keeping it quiet am I But I have four best friends and I feel like I can't tell one and not the other, so far 2 of them now so today I will tell the 3rd and i'll tell the fourth in a fortnight when we meet up for lunch. I'm not telling any other friends yet though, that will wait for 12 week scan x
Naomi - cramping in early days (or all first trimester long in my case as for many, at which point you can start getting round ligament pains) is completely normal but very worrying - and I can imagine more for you after a loss. As the others have said though, as long as it's not accompanied by spotting or bleeding it's fine (and even if you do have spotting it's not necessarily a sign that it's all going wrong). For all first tri I was convinced my period was coming on every time I cramped, and the increased cm didn't help that feeling so I was always running to the bathroom to check lol.) throughout pregnancy I've had the odd sip of DHs but couldn't resist having a whole cup tonight. Funny what pregnancy does to your taste buds. Really missing them actually! Hopefully I will get back to normal soon, coffee breaks are not much fun when you're sipping water lol x
