Sharp pains in bump

[welshgirl21]

This morning I've had sharp pains in my left side of bump both lower and upper side on the left - should I be worried?

Hey welshgirl, i get pangs of sharp pain too, sometimes makes me sit up and panic for a second. But apparently it's ligaments and things stretching to accomodate your growing babba x

ps - I'm in Wales, too

 

[welshgirl21]

Where in Wales are you? I was born and bred in Swansea, but been in Birmingham for 6 years now; miss the green and the coast of Swansea though.

I think everything has got on top of me this week; work's been crappy asking me work 13 hour day and not understanding that I haven't slept for 5 weeks and am exhausted, I've been uncomfortable, fed up of not sleeping etc. Just had enough if I'm honest (sorry I just kind of off loaded on you).

Please feel free to offload! I'm super prickly at the mo as i'm not sleeping brilliantly then getting woken up early every morning by the builder who rents part of our yard. I know how exhausted I am. But 13 hour days are a killer - i'm only part-time and can't even get through the shift without wanting to cry. How far along are you hun?

I'm in llangollen, up in the North My most favourite place is the Llyn Peninsula, green and stunning and i'd be there all the time if i could x

Im nearly 26 weeks hun. That builder sounds a nightmare, not what you want in the morning to wake you up at all. Yeah full time working is becoming a struggle, still got 10 weeks until my maternity leave starts too.

Llangollen is beautiful, spent a lot of time there as a child on holidays with the family.

Sorry i've just seen your ticker - not the brightest button this morning! Is there no way you can arrange shorter hours? Or maybe the doctor could sign you off early if it's making you stressed? I'm not sure how it all works but it doesn't seem right you having to struggle through.. 13 hours - eugh!

 

[welshgirl21]

The problem is I can't afford financially to start my maternity leave this early. The 13 hours was a one off training session I usually deliver once a month but I've told my boss I'm not doing anymore of them and I'm going to talk to her about working from home one day a week as well.

I don't know whether to go to the Dr's or not - I kind of feel if I go and say I'm exhausted, not sleeping etc he'll just say it's part of pregnancy and I'd feel I'm wasting his time a bit.

That's ok, I'm not the brightest button any time at the moment lol.

How has your pregnancy been?
