Hi ladies, this is my first post here so a little nervous but here goes;

I have just found out i am expecting a little girl on 8th november, shocking to think i didnt find out until 18 weeks but it would have been longer if my OH hadnt suggested we go for a private scan (after waiting to hear from the NHS for a week and getting stressed out) but found out all is well, which is great news after being told a few years ago that i would struggle to ever conceive.
Im looking forward to reading everyones stories and finding out bits that i need to do and when to do them and generally havin the feeling that you are not alone in such a daunting phase.

On a side note would anybody like to give me some feedback on the name that we have selected (for now anyway)? Its been hard going through loads over the weekend but as we will have a very long surname (its double barrelled) we wanted something quite easy and short and we finally settled on Tylah.

Hoping to fit right in, Vikki x

Morning all!

Congratulations on the birth of your little boy kabie, and I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. It must be such a difficult time for you at the moment - I hope you have lots of support around you. Fingers crossed the breastfeeding counsellor is able to help you.

Well I watched the repeat of One Born Every Minute last night, and nearly cried at the water birth one again! I think it's the fact that the Dad was so emotional about it all that got me. I then watched Dear John (loved it but it was also very heartwrenching). Surprisingly I didn't cry with the film though I welled up with OBEM. Moon got home from his shooting club half-way through the film, and watched the end with me, and he enjoyed it too. Trouble is, I spent the whole time worrying about a friend's husband who is in the US (their baby girl is just 3 months old) and is training to be deployed to Afghanistan for 9 months! We met them both on honeymoon, and they are a really sweet couple (only 21 and 22). Luckily they have a really big family who can help support her whilst he's away.

MissMonkeyMoo it may be worth holding out on ordering your cot etc from Babies r Us, as the last 20% off event happened only a matter of weeks after the first one, and if it's a cot they have in stock regularly, then you can collect it on the day from store. I'm sure between now and September they'll have another event. Love the story about tabby cat - my cat has gone off coming on the bed with me and I miss him bump guarding.

Fingers crossed for the scan today Triangle - I'll be thinking of you. It may be that you're measuring differently because the baby has changed position, so try not to worry too much.

Welcome to the thread vikki.

Good luck to everyone who is experiencing twinges that could mean things are progressing. Hugs to all in pain with backs etc.

Sexymouse - thanks for the heads up! I think the cot is out of stock at the mo anyway and not due back in until August! So we could hold off ordering anything until then and hope that some event comes up in the meantime. The nursery isn't going to be ready until Aug anyway, so it may time quite well, all said and done!

Welcome Vikki! Love the name and the unusual spelling! We've got our hearts set on a partivualr name if we have a little boy and we have a couple of firm favourites for a girl but as there's every chance that we m,ight change our mind when LO comes along we're going to keep them under our hats for now!

:wave: Welcome Vikki! I've added you to the list

dizzi, I think you can get SPD at anytime. Some people get it really early on and others get it right at the end.

Emsbet Thanks for adding me
MonkeyMoo we thought the spelling was lovely but all can change especially when we see her but we wanted something that was a bit different but not too 'out there'.

Glad i'm not the only one who is feeling a bit tired and like i have cramps, it keeps worrying me!

Hi Vikki! What a surprise and welcome to the thread Congratulations!

Right I'm off to the doctors shortly to get these palpitation symptoms chased up. Was speaking to my aunty last night who pointed out that 2 of my much elder cousins (who I didn't know) died of heart attacks in their early 30s. I'm 30....thanks. lol.

I'd rather she have kept that to herself tbh! Still defo making me push it at the doctors a bit more. I will be taken seriously damn it.

Morning all,
Hope everyone is well and has had good nights sleep.
I'm looking some advice - my hands and feet have been slighty swollen since the hot weather a few weeks ago and haven't went down but I have just put it down to warmer weather & pregnancy but the past week I've woken in the mornings with pins and needles in my fingers and stiffness. I'm just concerened because it's starting to hurt like when I was driving in this morning to work. It isn't unbearable but I just wanted to get your opinion before I ignore it. I looked on the net and my symptoms point to carpal tunnel syndrome??? Grateful for any advice.

Does anybody know how early you can start to get PPGP or SPD??? I have had some pain since about 14 weeks and its getting worse and worse x

Hi dizsiebubba just delurking to say yes you can get it this early. First pregnancy I developed symptoms at 12 weeks - thought it was sciatica but turns out to have been PPGP/SPD (I had pain at both the front and the back). I kept going until about 24 weeks and then asked doctor for some help, went o physio who are reluctant to do much due to baby but got a belt (didn't help me unfortunately) and crutches which did help a bit. Hugs for you - i sympathise a lot!

This time I am only in the early stages and ironically it was my first symptom at only 4.5 weeks! Think I am in for rough ride! DOn't wait too long before going to the doctor and be forceful if you feel they are fobbing you off. SYmptoms I had were pain sort of in the middle of the buttock on both sides. It can radiate down the leg slightly so can be confused with sciatica. The pain very quickly started round the front as well. I really hope you don't have it and that it eases up for you!

I've had this on and off for a few weeks now, but it alternates sides and thankfully is more like a dull ache (& only when I move, and not always then) - almost like a dead leg...?
