I've been getting this when I stand up too quickly, or cough/sneeze unexpectedly I also get it when I wee sometimes, especially if my bladder is very full - I think it's the ligaments stretching as bladder deflates and womb sinks back down a bit, iyswim?

edit: I sneezed in the office a few weeks ago and then shouted OW! really loudly due to ligament pain and 3 blokes came running to see if I'd gone into labour or something :rotfl:

I'm peeing like a trooper too.:rotfl:

It's good practice for those guys.:rotfl:

Good luck ladylegs - hope things are progressing a bit more for you now and you get a nice midwife.

Just got home from work, and back has been killing me since yesterday - hardly slept, and it still hurts. Spoke to midwife about it last week and she said it's too early to refer me to a physio, but I'm hoping by my 28 week appointment that I'll be far enough along for them to do something. On a positive note though, I took my 40mg of omeprazole this morning, and touch wood, things seem to be going well. I haven't had to take any Gaviscon yet either, so will see if this continues after dinner too. I've been able to eat cake mid-morning at school too. :j Will be great if I only have to take one thing, as carrying the bottle of Gaviscon around with me when I go out anywhere isn't easy.

Also had a boy in my class who may have slapped cheek (his brother is off with it), and the school came into my class to tell me this afternoon - they were most concerned and said I could go home straight away if I wanted to, but I told them that I've had the tests and I'm immune, so I think they were really relieved - the Mum hadn't let them know what the other son was off with until nearly the end of the day!:mad:

Well I'm off to lie down and see if that relieves the pain between my shoulders.

Hugs and labour vibes where wanted.

Hi ladies, havn't had much chance to read the last couple of pages yet but will do. Just a quick question really, havn't suffered any major morning sickness (the odd feeling of bleugh, bit never thrown up) but today since ive woken from a nap i had earlier ive thrown up 3 times, an i cant seem to keep water down, is this normal at 18/19 weeks?
Sorry to butt in.

sm, you can get one dose sachets of gaviscon or the little pills you chew (not as good as the liquid though, IMO). They're not the cheapest way of doing things, but you might be able to persuade your quack to add some to your prescription and get them for free.

Morning sickness can strike at anytime. Just keep an eye on it. You should be able to keep fluids down though. If you can't you'll dehydrate. I couldn't keep water down, but found a fizzy drink easier to keep down.

Quite possibly. I suffered terribly from week 6 to about week 14. Then it came back intermittently around 20 weeks, then back again a few times a week from 36 weeks. It seems like you're never free of it

Keep an eye on it though as you've been sick quite a few times in a short period of time (and with no real previous history). Could it be a bug? If you're still being sick tomorrow afternoon, i.e. no let up for 24 hours, give your midwife a ring.

I feel fine other than the urge to throw up roughy every hour/hour and a half so not thinking a bug but it could be.
Slight problem in that im still waiting to meet my midwife, hopefully soon! But i could always go round to my docs/call nhs direct i suppose. But its taken my main worry knowing morning sickness can start anytime x

hello all! have had such a hectic week, but finally getting a chance to look back, hope I will still be in the 40's, our nursery furniture was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday but A*gos messed it up so won't arrive until end of June now.

Little Moog, I almost got that card but bought this one in the end http://www.funkypigeon.com/Pages/PhotoUpload.aspx?ProductId=106200 and had happy fathers day put inside... hasn't come yet though so we'll see, ordered it last Sat I think?

he also didn't get me anything for mums day, but that would have freaked me out a bit and trying to include him more ever since I came home and saw him reading a babycentre article about why dads are important - never loved him so much at that point!

he's going to be hard at work for the next month which means I invited my mum to the cardiff baby and toddler show cus I saw tickets had gone down to £3 (if anyone is close by and wants to buy tickets for sat 23rd june, use this link and I could get my £3 back!http://www.livingsocial.com/deals/350672?rpi=65338980&ref=personalized-link-box-65338980&rui=112154073 but i think £3 is worth it anyway) and her reaction was so positive that I feel like I've been letting everyone down now, I know its a first grandchild but what more can I do? Its special to hubby and I and we are trying to include everyone... sigh, off to read back xx

Quick question:

Just got a membership thing from Boots with various points coupons etc, but I'm not sure if they're worth using.

e.g. "Collect 8 points per £1" - do I not get 10 points per £1 anyway, through being in the Baby club? Or is that just on baby stuff?

Same goes for 200 points when you spend £20, etc.

I'm sure I'm just being dumb but I know some of you are very savvy when it comes to points and money-off coupons!
