Extreme sharp pain

I’m currently 10 weeks pregnant and today I’ve had extreme sharp, dull stretching feeling pains, knowing where my baby is roughly sat from a previous private scan it’s right where the baby is. It’s been on and off all day lasting around 15 minutes, every hour or so. Until now, it’s getting worse and more constant. I’ve repeatedly suffered miscarriages in the past so it doesn’t feel anywhere near a loss. But I’m so concerned.. my left side of my stomach has been feeling really tender and almost hardening up but my right side still feels soft but my whole lower belly is extremely sore today. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal and just growing pains?

I don’t think growing pains should be so severe. Can you speak to your midwife?

very bad yes but this today feels more to the front and only to the left where the baby is positioned

I’m currently on my way home from work down south back up north so I can’t contact my midwife until I’ve got my pregnancy pack. I was just hoping for a little help so I don’t assume the worst until I’m home

well, don’t panic by any means. It could be stretching. It could be trapped wind. It could be any number of delightful pregnancy things. If you can Google the number for your local EPU I’d give them a ring while you’re travelling home as they might be able to better put your mind at rest xx

Currently 13 weeks and I’ve had this since around 8-9 weeks and got worse around 10ish weeks but as long as no 🩸 everything is fine and it’s completely normal as your body is stretching especially if this is your first pregnancy but it’s completely normal xxx

definitely no blood if anything I’ve just had extra discharge which I know is completely normal. It can be quite worrying as unfortunately this will be my 4th pregnancy but this is the longest I’ve carried so it’s almost as if it’s my first so I’m completely worried all the time xxx

no blood is good sign xx and yup I’ve got loads of discharge atm like loads! I completely understand as to why ur very worried but try enjoy it as much as u can, pregnancy is a magical thing and we need to enjoy it, I know it can be daunting and worrying but I guarantee everything is okay ❤️ xx

I’ve had pains like these, particularly when bending down. They seem to be where my scar tissue is from my prev c section so I think it’s linked to that for me!

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !
