Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[thethomsons]

Girls, during the night I was woken by a mild stitch kinda pain in my right side (where you would normally get stitch). It went away and I managed to get over to sleep. It definitely wasn't unbearable but noticeable. I feel a bit sicky today but I'm not sure if it is just total worry. Last time I had a mc I remember having a day where I had a horrendous stitch like pain which took my breath away. A week later I went for scan and there was nothing. I can't help worrying that this was the same though it definitely wasn't as painful as last time.

Is this normal??

I feel so upset and worried

Elaine I had a really bad stitch on and off on my left hand side at around 6 weeks. I never really got to the bottom of what it was but think it had something to do with being a little constipated! Try not to worry, it's probably growing pains or maube your a little blocked too (sorry TMI), take it easy today

Elaine I still get stitch like pains on my right side. I think its just stretching pains. Try not worry too much. Like Laubull, I was also a bit constipated and gassy in the beginning which definitely made the aches and pains worse. I'm sure it will all be fine.

Hi sorry been mia. Elaine hope you are ok. Im sure its stretching making a lovely home for your bean. Take care of yourself.

Hope everyone is ok.

Thanks girls feel a lot less worried after reading your replies. Haven't had it all day so not sure what it was? Came home from work and felt so sick but it got better after I ate. Def a bit crampy today but more like AF sensation. Also shattered so hoping all a good sign x

Oh and Mannymoo- woo hoooo on the scan pics, absolutely brilliant!!!!

Congratulations Manny, lovely scan pics! Love the little hand, on one of my 12 week ones is a perfect wee foot! Your next scan will bridge the gap between all the other scans and my 20 week one, which they told me was on the 26th Nov (actually 21 weeks then) but then my letter said 23rd so have to ring and check which.

Elaine- I have definitely had a couple of episodes of stitch-like pain; as everyone says lots of stretching going on which is bound to give you occasional pains.

Yay we have gone over 1000 posts!

Lou it makes me feel so much better knowing that my stitch pain is normal. I really was in a bit of a state earlier about it. Two weeks tomorrow till my scan and praying so much that it is good and I can then start to relax a little as I feel I go from being so excited to soo worried in the matter of minutes. Don't know how you girls further on got through this?!

Over 1000 posts woo hoo.


Any news on Pop Tart? Not heard from her for a while?

Good to hear everyone is ok xxx

Thanks again for support girls don't know what I would do without you

 

[thethomsons]

Well girls I got my wish, I was sick as a dog this morning! How funny that I am actually pleased that I feel like s***!

Struggling at work mind you as have banging head but hey ho not complaining

Hope everyone ok xx

 

[Laubull]

Elaine I know how you feel! Yesterday I was feeling good, a lot more energy, I even felt 'in the mood', although ended up falling asleep! This morning I started to worry, is 11 weeks to early to feel ok, blah blah blah, well now I'm at work I feel rubbish! But like you relieved!

We can comfort each other in feeling sicky

Question for you girls, when did you first feel your baby? I know 11 weeks is early but yesterday I had a really bizarre butterfly feeling in my uterus area, just above my pubic bone, am I going mad/imagining it?!

I also have a questions for the preggy ladies and apologies in advance if this is a TMI kinda question. I've been so scared of doing anything wrong this pregnancy that I have placed myself on "pelvic rest" (i.e: no DTD!). Poor DH - i think its been a long 8 weeks! Just wanted to get everyones opinions if they have kept BDing as normal? Does it pose any risk?

 

[Laubull]

Manny I am the same, I've said not until after the 12 week scan, I just don't want to risk. Plus there's the fact I've not felt remotely in the mood, until yesterday and even then I fell asleep before DH came to bed! Poor DH, it's driving him mad, I think he's hoping for at least a fumble but I just don't fancy it!

 

[CherylC3]

Hey I was the same we got to 8 wks and broke the rules lol and everything has been fine we've done it about twice a wk. just do it when ur ready Hun. X

 

[Khloeee]

We refrained until last week when I felt more comfortable. It's meant to pose no risk, but I knew I just wouldn't forgive myself if we DTD and then I started bleeding the next day (even if I knew the two were probably unrelated). Wait until you're comfortable/feel it's the right time.

 

[mannymoo]

Thanks ladies. Glad I'm not the only one worried about this. And Laubull LOL - I am completely NOT in the mood either. I would far rather sleep but am starting to feel a little guilty

Think I will see how I'm feeling on the weekend and go from there.

Thanks as always! x

 

[thethomsons]

Girls I'm not even thinking of Dtd till at least after reassurance scan and maybe even 12 week.

Can I ask ur advice, I took my baby aspirin and folic acid ten minutes before was sick so would you take it again or should I not??? Not sure xx

 

[Khloeee]

Did you see if the pills came back up? It's OK to take a double dose of folic acid (I've been taking 400ug and then 400ug again in my Pregnacare complex. I don't know what to advise about the aspirin.

 

[Laubull]

Manny I am starting to feel a bit guilty, normally it's me chasing him, lol!

Elaine I agree with Khloee, another dose of folic will be fine but wouldn't risk it with the aspirin, just in case.

[thethomsons]

Decided not to take either pills just in case, will just make sure take them first thing tomorrow instead! Thanks girls. I had to come home from work and go to bed this avo as was feeling so bad and head was thumping. Now awake and still feeling pretty awful but pleased that this is hopefully a good sign xx

 

[Lou15]

Laubull I haven't felt baby yet! (and I know for a fact that it is one seriously active baby!). I'd be surprised if you are at this stage but nothing's impossible!

Manny, we are still abstaining now! DH is terrified of anything going wrong so it's actually more him than me that's determined not to for now; I know it is definitely getting him down though and feel very guilty. To be honest, I'm not in the mood at all either; first the sickness and now I have sciatica!

Elaine yay for increased symptoms but really hope you don't end up having a really bad time of it xx
