    PP- Good luck hun!! I'm sorry but your midwife sounds like a !!!!!. Do u not have the urge just to "conveniently" stay at home until its too late to go to the hospital :whistle: Think its rubbish they refused you a home birth, surely its your choice at the end of the day

    Hugs Stef- hope everythings ok and the docs hurry up and get back to you xx

    When do you start to feel baby move?? I'm 13 weeks but was sat last night and a couple of times i kept getting a strange flutter in my belly, it only lasted a second or so but was definatly a flutter!

    I was just worried as i cant remember when i last felt baby move. So i got out my doppler, but its broken :mad:
    I then resorted to putting cold items on bump so she would feel the coldness and move.
    It took a while and a few cold items but she finally moved a little :D

    I think she might of been asleep.... :o:o

    Now my bump feels cold :rotfl:
  • We'll been for my scan, everything is ok. Measuring 7 + 4 and I reckoned I was 7 + 1 so not too far out. They were able to pick it up through the belly so no internal:j. A word of warning I started to drink 1 1/2 litres of water one hour before the scan and I was told my bladder was almost empty but they could still see. By the time I got out of the hospital I was practically wetting myself, so my advice would be start drinking water 2 hours before an apt where you have been asked to have a full bladder to give it time to filter through.

    PP do you have a tens machine for the belly pain, otherwise changing position regularly, hot baths & paracatomol ( sp) for the pain
    here's some other ideas

    , as for teeth early this year I had the most awful dental pain ( had to get a root canal ) try sleeping with your head propped up on pillows ( reduces the blood flow to the head ) I also find Corsodol mouth wash very good for helping clear any infections

    good Luck with both

    If you are concentrating on something else, you may not have noticed your baby's movements. If you want some reassurance, here are ways to encourage your baby to move:
    • Put your feet up and relax. Babies are sometimes rocked to sleep while you are moving around and may wake up when you stop.
    • Lie down on your side (with support under your bump) and stay still. This will help you focus on your baby's movements.
    • Have a really cold drink. Your baby may feel the change in temperature and try to move away from it.
    • Make some noise. Play loud music or slam a door to see if he responds.

  • No pics as it's just a little bean on the screen but we could see it expanding and contracting with every heart beat - makes it feel more real

    Have had a call back from Gp now who does not seem overly concerened re discharge. He said it sounds like the afterbirth dropping into place. The headaches could be because im a migraine sufferer and hormones being all over the place. As have had no stomach cramps while getting the discharge then he does not think it is a MC but if i get any other symptoms today he will be happy for me to drop down and see him. Other wise should it be out of hours have to go through the NHS thing where you see someone who dont have a clue. Was supposed to be going out tonight but i just want to sleep so will see how things go. Thanks for the support and comforting replies xx

    I've been having headaches too, dull and long lasting, makes me feel very grumpy. I checked it out on the internet and its something to do with blood flow/pressure etc perfectly normal during pregnancy I usually find a pint of water ( to stop dehydration which also can cause headaches ) a paracetamol & a lie down does the trick, it's very easy to get stressed about all the strange body goings on during early pregnancy but I find the internet a wealth of information to put your mind at rest
