Hi, this is my first pregnancy and I'm slightly concerned, all of a sudden I'm getting intense lower back pain travelling around into my sides, I've checked myself and no bleeding or pelvic pain, is this normal? I'm frightened

I had the same issue not sure what it was but it went away in about a week or so. How far are you?!

I would say not to worry, pregnancy comes with a lot of new and strange pains, I would take note of it and tell your doctor at your next appt, but if it’s coming and going and noticeable intervals I would maybe call your doctor

Thank you girls, I'm only about 5+5 roughly so it's very early doors, it's the first time I've felt something like that I've got my first midwife appt 25th of sep, it just stunned me and I stood up and walked around then it went x

On my birthday! 😂 My back around then was horrendous! I’m now 8+3 and had a scan today and everything was great .. I got a microwaving bean bag was perfection ! 🥰

I definitely wouldn’t worry about anything right now, those pains and my crazy sense of smell told me I was pregnant. So I made an appointment and by the time the appointment came (7 weeks) the pain was completely gone.

I am getting this too, not to the point I’m in pain but it’s annoying, I think changing positions helps mines ease off! Try not to worry x

So many weird pains honestly 😩 dull pain, sharp pain, shooting pain you name it…

I'm roughly around the same as you. 7 weeks today and I get lower back pain that comes and goes! Also first pregnancy so don't have clue either.

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Possible blood clot on the lung /VQ scan

Has anyone had a VQ scan for possible blood clots. As I need to have to have one and concerned due to the radiation and possible risk of baby having childhood cancer.

Baby girl names

Love pretty shorter names such as Millie, Gracie, Lottie. My husband only likes Millie and I’m struggling to find anything else he likes! However I’m not 100% on Millie.

Love Lilly, Maisie, Isabelle, Tilly but sadly can’t use these sadly.

We have a little boy called Oliver (Ollie).

Middle name will be Rae.

Any ideas?🙈

Review at 36 weeks

Has anyone had An anesthesia review at 36 weeks?
What is this for as I never had this with my first?
I am being scanned every 3 weeks as my first was small and now my second is measuring small.

Anyone else still feeling really good

If I hadn’t of had a scan I wouldn’t believe I was pregnant. I was tired with sore boobs and this is still the case but no where near as much. I feel so good. I am incredibly bloated though but I can deal with that. My first pregnancy I suffered with dizziness really bad so this is a pleasant change.

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
