Apparently so....
It's something to do with the PAP results. The issue being that my cousin had probs with these as well and the end result in all pregannacies with it as an issue where not good. So even though I'm trying to be chilled out about it, I can't help but worry.

Aww, im sure you are worrying, thats normal - Im wishing this week to fly by already so will wish double for the both of us x x hugs x x

Thanks honey. I'm lucky in that I have a really mad busy week. Zoo trip (in this heat!!!) tomorrow with year 7, a 2 hour meeting afterwork and then parents evening on Thursday - so lots of early nights. Phew.
Just makes it worse that my DH lives in Wales. I wish he was here.

As they say in Wales cwtch. When is your appointment hun. Hope u are able to get reassurance quickly. Is your duh able to come to you for the appt?

Big hugs twinklie. I don't understand why they can't just have a general conversation over the phone, it just causes more stress having to wait. I hope all goes well for you.

Well had my 20 wk scan yesterday and baby is healthy :-) They checked all the major organs and talked through everything and explained what she was looking for each time. I'm so happy and relieved. They discovered my placenta in low lying which means I need to have another scan at 32 weeks to see if it has moved up, if it hasn't then I may need to have a c-section. I'm trying not to think about it all too much as the mw said it should just grow up when the uterus is growing. Also I'm rhesus negative so I have to watch for bleeding before my anti-d injection at 30 wks, as my placenta is low there is a chance of some slight bleeding.

The midwife was great at explaining everything but I had a look on the net last night and a few sites are saying no exercise and no intercourse, she didn't mention this. Anyone else had a low lying placenta??

Pleased to hear ur scan went well betty. A friend had placenta praevia at her 20wk scan but it corrected itself by her next scan.

My best friend also had a low lying placenta (OMG, just realised her little boy is 1 on Friday), she was told no sex (which she was over joyed about). And it also corrected itself and she went on to have a normal delivery without any pain relief!!! :eek:

Thanks for the support as well guys. x

Oh and my appointment is on Friday morning and yeah, DH has booked it off to come with me.

betty - pleased to hear your 20 week scan went well. fingers crossed placenta moves up for you.


Twinklie - good luck for your appt on friday, hopefully the week will pass quickly for you

i am 22 + 2 today and have been having upper back pain for a few weeks, is anyone else experiencing this? just feels a bit strange. i dont have big boobs so dont think that is contributing.

also feeling quite tired still.....how is everyone elses energy levels?

got told by two people today that my bump looks bigger then yesterday, not the kind of thing you want to hear when you are only just past the halfway mark.eeek

Ive popped out the last couple of days and now have a definate bump, im only 15 weeks tomorrow though ! Not helped by the fact on a bad bloat day i could look a few months gone anyway

Getting a bit sick of people (who know about the loss we had last year) that have guessed that I am pregnant again trying to out me :mad: the subtle as a brick "hello, how are you feeling" whilst glaring at my stomach routine is really grating now !

On the slow count down till mondays scan till we can hopefully tell our boys about their baby, just have to hope no insensitive person gets there first !

jediquigley

cant help with the back ache but everything gets moved around and ligaments soften so im sure nothing to worry about !

twinklie

I'm 16 weeks and have a definate bump. Ok so I'm flat as a pancake normally, so it could just be more obvious on me. I also can't wear any of my pants with them fastened properly - I'm on hairbands as extenders at the minute.

Twinklie same here, on hairbands and definitely showing. Going to have to wear floaty tops this week when my mother comes to see me. Only 16 weeks too but my third child / second pregnancy and will apparently show quicker anyway.
