12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

chloecc

I'm quite small but have always had an ample sized chest at a 32dd, upon getting measured at 9 weeks I was a 32ff, i bought a non wired m and s one for about £12 in the beginning then got back ache so went for a double pack in mothercare for £25 but now at 16 weeks it's digging and the cup is waaaay not big enough - i'm considering buying some mini hammocks to rest them in!! LOL

Has anyone had any experience od sciatica? Just wondered if anyone knew of any remedies/pain relief at all, I didn't think I would get this at all when I've hardly even got a bump yet but it's excrutiating!! Seeing midwife on Friday so will ask her but if anyone has any thoughts I'd e most appreciative!!

HI, 19+ weeks now, need some cheap £ maternity tops, looked in mothercare & m&p yesterday and they were like £15 for a vest top. like i'm goin pay that.
Did manage to get some trousers yoga style ones from mothercare for £9 in the sale but bogof, and a pair of jeans from m&p for a £10 in the sale. so well pleased with that.
Goin for my scan on Monday which is also my birthday, hopefully going to find out what colour we are having, 1st time we will have ever found out & it will be my luck that bubs will be laid so we cant know what it is.

asos has maternty stuff on sale and i think there is codes on the voucher board.

also matalan had some sale stuff on thier website

i have two pairs of jeans from a previous pg but they are under the bump and i cant stand them, a friend has lent me an over the bump pair so i just live in those and leggings, i love leggings lol

i have my 20 week scan tomorrow afternoon whoop whoop (i will be 21 weeks exacly though), i keep scaring hubby for a laugh and rubbing my belly right at the top saying i can feel bump kicking around at the top and also at the bottom of bump, do you think there could be two lol it is funny watching him stutter

chloe - have you tried gentle heat/hot water bottle? I've developed this too, right through my each side of my bum & down my legs - I also didn't expect it for another 10 weeks or so at least! I find sitting too long can make the pain the next morning horrendous, so I try to keep moving as often as possible.

Yeah exactly!!!! Did you ever have it before?? I didn't, it's so annoying as I work in an offie where I can't really get up and about too much and walk like a wincing John Wayne and hobble about until I can walk again! :rotfl: blooming painful though. I'm sleeping on pillows at the moment which seems to be helping a little bit, but seeing mw tomorrow so going to see if she suggests anything.

Bump has grown in the past week, and I know i have an inverted uterus so was wondering if it may have something to do with it??

Chloe - no, never had it before I do a sitting job too (albeit part-time now until the close of the redundancy) and takes me a good few steps to be able to stand upright! I feel like an old woman. Haven't been too bad at home recently because we've been packing up the house to move next weekend so I've been on the move a lot & thankfully haven't had too many long car trips.
