12-24 weeks pregnant (part 3)

Thanks T2d but your mailbox is full lol.

RMR I think movement started lower down but I'm not too sure as the placenta is low lying. I have started to feel movement further up over the last couple of days.

Maternity leggings are a thing, they have an overbump bit so they allow for bump better than normal leggings iyswim.

I ended up having a nap this afternoon just couldn't keep my eyes open any longer thankfully hubby was understanding and got on with sorting out some eb@y listings.

I now have hip pain n thigh pain had in last pregnancy due to an injury years ago and everything obviously moving around ringing midwife tomorrow to get referral to physio as takes few weeks and last time heat treatment helped.

Best do a hot water bottle.

Just a quick question about first movements. When you first felt your baby move (if you have), was it quite low down? I am having definite feelings at the bottom of my belly, and felt a small movement. Even OH felt it with his hand on my belly. Please tell me this was baby.

I had my very first movement yesterday, I haven't had any flutterings as all the books said I would, and wasn't concerned as I have an anterior placenta and the midwife said it was perfectly normal not to feel anything till later on, but yesterday I got a proper shove low down on the left side of my belly. It was absolutely unmistakeable and really took me by surprise! We were looking at a car at the time, I wonder if the baby was trying to put me off as we didn't buy it in the end

Just rang community midwives about referral to physio the person who answers phone so needs to go on as communication skills class I have already informally complained about her to my midwife who just said oh dear regarding her fobbing me off when had early bleed but I don't take any crap so wasn't fobbed off.

Anyway she said no one is in now can you ring tomorrow when team leader is in at 9.30 I said no I am at work and will be in training she sighed n I said well can someone not ring me back and she did a big sigh and said well I will have to put a message out to the community midwives on duty so I said ok let's do that more sighing but took my name number midwife name n gestation.

Not convinced will get a call back will just go to go later this wk although after 16wks should pass all through midwife.

On another note just spent £50 on school uniform and haven't got even and only brought one logo jumper n polo shirt rest is marks Spencer cheapest range.

Morning all little sleep due to hip n thigh pain- guess what no one rang back from midwives yesterday not surprised May drop into doc surgery on wayhome later n just book in a midwife appointment prob quicker n they can access her diary.

Good luck in getting it sorted freebie can't believe how rude that person was, surely it's their job to answer the phone.

Not feeling too great at the moment and nearly fainted yesterday at work. Luckily I know the signs so sat on the kitchen floor before I collapsed onto it. Stayed until 5pm and went home and spent the night in bed just relaxing. Still feeling weird today but making sure that I'm eating and drinking a lot more to hopefully get back to normal.

Hi all, sorry haven't posted for a while. Had a friend visiting all weekend and was out and about in the (semi) sunshine hanging out :-)

I have my 20 (well, 20 + 3) scan tomorrow... now the fluttering has completely stopped (again) and I don't 'feel' pregnant at all I'm really worrying myself silly. OH has been great and just says 'if something was really wrong there would be a reaction of some type' however, I just can't help myself.

Trying to focus on finding out tomorrow if blue or pink !!

ps sent pretty much the entire order of bonprix back... bought loads of well tailored maternity trousers in lots of different colours, however, had no idea how uncomfortable under the bump clothes can be. It's going to be all leggings and dresses for me going forward me thinks!

Well rang midwife office again apparently my midwife has been given message n no more they can do I just have to wait n from previous experience last pregnancy she never rings back.

Gp surgery bless them said they wouldn't normally book her appointment but when I joked getting to speak to a midwife was harder than getting through to surgery on a Mon morning she had a look and soonest was next thur so she asked what for in case gp could help n told her so she said ring first thing tomorrow and she will get me in with a gp I said I wasn't sure that was the process she said well they should hopefully be able to do something.

So hoping gp will as know for pregnancy physio it's a very different referral pathway obviously due to nature of it being a short term issue you get seen quicker n I don't want to get caught up in normal physio referral pathway.

I am in agony though nausea had reduced for few days but back due to pain and waking in night in agony it classed as pelvic girdle pain but is hip and thigh. Sleeping with hot water bottle to ease it.

May have to find an aquanatal session as that helped a bit last time.



View good luck for scan tomorrow mine is next Wed.

Hi All,

Hope all of you are enjoying the slight sunny days.

Did not post from long. I am doing good except for the constant cough from 3-4 days I just cant get rid of it.

all the best for the scan View

I am having panic moments now and then if everything is going well or not and again after some time I am back to normal. this is really a tough journey.
