    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

  • Pixiepops, I'm 18 weeks and have been getting braxton hicks for about a week, so it is possible - this is my 4th baby though and everything has been really early this time. Could feel first movements at 12 weeks!!!

    Hi mrsspendalot

    Welcome to the thread x This is my 3rd and I first felt movement at 14 weeks which was so reassuring.
    Now at 19 weeks it feels as though he/she is building a shed in there most days! :D
    My other 2 weren't nearly so active from what I recall.

    morning ladies

    hope everyone is well.

    I had a crappy night last night. I couldnt get up the stairs to go to bed and OH helped me - it took 15 mins as I was in so much pain. I started crying, partly due to the pain but more so I was mortified I couldnt do something so simple. I was in agony in bed and had to put pillows either side of me so I didnt roll over on my side.

    So not much sleep, can't get a docs appointment until Wed so am going to sit tight until Monday morning for my physio and pray they can do something.

    I've had to phone in sick again which I hate doing but I am so sore. I don't know if its a trapped nerve or if the baby is sitting funny on me? its my lower back and right leg.

    Urgh x

    did anyone else get really bad wind last night? (as in windy weather conditions, not bodily functions:eek:)

  • I remember laying in bed the night before my 12 week scan thinking I was feeling it but not wanting to believe it in case it jinxed my scan! I went the next day and I could feel it whilst watching it on the monitor - awesome!!! Hubby felt the first kicks yesterday from the outside which was nice. I'm 19 weeks tomorrow .... almost half way!!!

  • VroomBroom do you have SPD? That sounds painfully similar to me :-(

    lol! :rotfl:yep very windy here in West Sussex last night and this morning - got out of the car to see the kids in to school and nearly got blown away!

    Sorry to hear you are suffering so badly :(
  • Thanks everyone for the replies. I think whenever you get any twinges of pain or anything you always think it's just you, even though other people have obviously had the same sort of thing. :o

    SusanC- Yes and no. For the moment I've found a position that's keeping it away, although my back is sort of curled (like a half sit up but obviously with my back and head propped up) so won't stay like this too long as it's probably bad for my back. If I move around it's horrid though so I don't think I'll go for a walk today. Although the wind doesn't seem to be easing up anyway so chances of being able to go outside are slim.

    Wow! - I was wondering when OH may be able to feel the kicks - DD said last week she felt something but think it was wishful thinking on her part :o

    I am 19 weeks on Sunday so a day behind you! - have a c section booked for 38 weeks though so this should be a June baby.
