Hello everyone!
I'm a bit confused as got netdoctor email today and it sais this, "CVS is used less often than amniocentesis because it carries a higher risk (up to 2 per cent) of miscarriage." It doesn't really matter but isn't it the other way round?

Nope - having done lots of research and read lots of figures cvs is 1-2% and amnio 1%

CVS has a higher risk, only by about 1%, I think this is probably beause it can be done so early, from 11 weeks I believe.
I had mine at 12+1.

EDIT: posted same as you Greent.

Hi All
Little P: I can understand your worry, just hold on to the thought that you are still pregnant and nothing has happened to the contrary. Think positive!!! Im sure if you are very anxious about your lack of symptoms the EPU would scan you early? especially as you have had cramps? ((((hugs)))))

I've been struggling a bit with nausia and I am so hungry all of the time. I need an extra meal a day and im still physically hungry! already gained half a stone and saying bye bye to my size 10 figure (not forever please!!!) I have gone off so much of the foods I used to like and where my sweet tooth has gone I'll never know?! reformed chocoholic I am! cant make sandwiches for my lunch anymore as the thought of them just turns my stomache. Had to resort to a greggs steak bake (your fault!!!) today!!!

Im just thankful Im not actually sick as i cant imagine what that will be like head down toilet for weeks! How miserable would that be?! bless you Mrs T.

I am 8 weeks today and have MW next week and hopefully scan pre xmas. OH cant get excited about this PG yet as I am constantly spotting and I keep saying that anything could happen so as a result its almost as if I am not PG to him. WHen I moaned about how I was feeling he said "how come you are Ill all the time?" I said cos im PG Duh!!!!! Hope he is a wee bit excited soon!!

Hope all you ladies are ok tonight

I'm in absolute agony. Waiting for GP to phone me back, hoping he can prescribe me something for the pain. Don't know if I can wait for Monday for crutches, and they might not even give me some then. Would it be terribly silly to just buy some tomorrow?

is it not more tendons than spd never heard of it being so bad that early on FG esp with your first? im 29 weeks and as i only had 3 months between having baby and falling pregnant again things have not healed and im making it worse.

i have been seeing the reflexologist once a week and TBH its fantastic! if i do too much then i do get a lot of pain. but i feel that having these sessions eases my pain and for a good 4/5 days afterwards as long as i take it easy i am back to normal!

Evening Ladies,

(((HuG's))) to all of you feeling under the weather - I guess thats the polite way of putting it

I had my 20 week scan this morning, I was right Yay! She IS a girl! Woohoo. Which is great we already have DS1 and we were secretly [strike]or not so secretly[/strike] Hoping for a pink one! We had a list of girl names and I think we have settled on one now, although some of the family aren't too keen. Oh well Its our baby not theirs! She is measuring well and everything is where it should be!

We are so pleased, OH and I went out to lunch and then he had to rush back to work as its end of month he's super busy :rolleyes: So I celebrated by doing some Christmas shopping and buying some pink baby clothes I'm paying for it now though, I seem to have developed this coccyx pain that MFD and someone else? (Sorry cant remember who) had. Its agony, it hurts to sit and it hurts to stand, so throw that in with the SPD and its all happy days! Haha.

Spoke to stand in midwife about SPD on the telephone and she told me that it isn't easy being pregnant and why every woman seems to think they have special circumstances she doesn't know! In her day they just had to get on with it. I wouldn't mind but my GP wanted me to have physio as soon as I told her I was pregnant as it got so bad last time. I was wearing a support band from about 10 weeks and then for about 10 weeks after I had ds1! I declined though as I didn't want to que jump now I'm still waiting to see someone this time round! :rolleyes:

oh i forgot physio said that for spd baths are good but what is better is cold! she advised a bag of peas wraped in a towel, not tried it lol thought OH might look at me strangly!:P

Midwife thinks its SPD, its rare for it to start so early, but can happen. My Auntie had it very bad, and my Sister in law was in a wheelchair by 6 months. They've said it might get better, so fingers crossed!

I feel bad for whining so much, I've never really been good with pain! I shall have a good cry, hopefully that'll help!

Are you having a 20 week scan?

Yes, got to go back up to London to have it done next Friday, I'll be 20+4, have to have it there so a cardiologist can look at the babys heart in detail.
