    Just been for 16 week appointment with midwife, told her about the pain i had in lower back and right hip, she told me it was pressure on the sciatic nerve which runs down back and into leg, hope this helps you, only advice i was given is not to lift anything to heavy

    Thanks for this i had a feeling it might have something to do with the sciatic nerve but the pain i getting unbearable at times not sure whether to wait for next midwife appointment which is not until 11/11/11 or make an appointment with my GP.

    Welcome Laura and congrats on scan

    Oh just thought, can someone add me to the list please. My due date is 27th April and I have my 20 week scan on 9th Dec. Also have a 16 week scan but thats an internal one to check my cervix as I had treatment follwoing an abnormal smear last year.

    Also, not sure if it was on here or the pain thread that I read about a book that was good for dads to be. Can anyone recommend one?

    Thanks x

    Hi Lisa
    Glad to see all is OK.
    You must be my baby buddy - my EDD has been put back to 27th April and my scan is same day as yours :-)

    Morning Ladies!

    Well the big V Day for me is here - 24 weeks today - yay! Where has the time gone?!

    As if by magic over night my stomach has really popped out, I love my little bump now, even if I did struggle getting my shoes on!

    I'll be graduating over to the 'bigger' ladies thread now, but will still read this thread to hear all the baby news!

    Take care.

    Congrats on V day Jannine
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    Also, is anybody still taking the healthy start vitamins, which includes folic acid? I take them sporadically but not everyday....unsure and forgot to ask today.

    Thanks guys

    I'm still taking my tesco pregnancy multivitamins that contain folic acid. You don't need the folic acid after about 12 weeks but it doesn't do any harm and I'm not normally one for taking vitamins but I'll keep taking these as I want to be 100% sure baby gets what he/she needs.

    Hello Ladies,

    Just moving over from >12 weeks. Had my scan this morning - AMAZING!! She said baby looked very healthy and she has put me at 13 + 1, I thought I was only 12 + 2! So pleased we can tell everyone now :0)

    Lisa, my bloating has gone down a lot too now, also my boobs haven't grown much yet - gutted lol! Already have my next scan date; 8th December. I'm sure the time will fly as it did waiting for this one

    Congrats Laura, glad the scan went well, its nice to see you over here. You've jumped to 2 days ahead of me now then.
    Hi Lisa
    Glad to see all is OK.
    You must be my baby buddy - my EDD has been put back to 27th April and my scan is same day as yours :-)

    Hi bump buddy!! We'll be able to have a race to the finish!

    Today I had an appointment to check baby was ok after the CVS test I had on Monday. They tried listening for the heartbeat first but said they probs wouldn't find it as its so early. As expected they couldn't so I got a little scan. Baby was dancing away again and the heartbeat looked fine so hopefully we've been lucky and all is ok now. They measured baby and got 13 weeks exactly and I'm 13 weeks today so that was reassuring! I hadn't realised how worried I'd been about it until afterwards when I suddenly realised how much more relaxed I felt! Perhaps I'll get more sleep tonight now!

    I've had 4 scans already at 13 weeks and I have atleast another 2 yet!

    hey ladies. posting here as I dont really know what else to do i suppose.....my DH big brother (34) died in the night. Devestated isnt the word for it. really trying to stay calm etc for baby`s sake, but so worried all the upset is going to cause something to go wrong. Just keep thinking we are finally having a boy, BIL 1st nephew and he wont ever get to see him. So sorry to bring the thread down, its not even relevant, but dont know who else to yabber to.
    Hope ladies and babies are all well xxx
