Such a sore back

I’m 7 weeks pregnant and having a “threatened miscarriage” and other than the cramps and bleeding I’ve had for a few days I’ve now started getting really really bad back pain. It’s low in my back like how you get on day 2 of your period🫠any advice? Paracetamol isn’t even touching the sides. I’m just about in tears and I’m working tonight and really worried about the pain😩😩

Do not go in work, look after yourself x

1, don’t go to work
2, If UK based, I would advise to call 111 if painkillers aren’t touching it. That’s not me trying to be OTT, I just think that proper medical advice would be the best suggestion.

Hope you feel better soon and sorry you’re having to experience this. X

I agree with the other comments, definitely don’t go to work, this is already a hard time for you, and you don’t want to make anything worse by pushing yourself to do something. Also yes, call 111 they may be able to get you to an out of hours doctors to get a prescription for a higher dosage painkiller/guid you to something that will be useful.

Also, do you have a hot water bottle/deep heat… anything like that really, around the house, they may help to relieve the pain, but definitely stay home, try and get comfortable, and take care of yourself.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but the best thing you can do right now is take care of yourself ❤️

My husband and I cannot agree on what dessert tower to make for my sons birthday (inspo pics in comments)

Embarrassed as hell (also feel free to have a laugh): have you ever hurt yourself by sneezing during peeing? 😭🤦🏼‍♀️

I was going to post incognito, but decided to give some people a laugh. Storytime:

I'm 27 weeks pregnant so I was on my 10th pee of the night, when in the middle of peeing I sneezed and got an extreme sharp pain in my nether region. Now every single time I go wee it hurts (yes will talk to the GP if it doesn't go). Has this ever happened to anyone else? 🫣 Also dont think anyone's husband expects to be woken up by their pregnant wife holding her bits saying "I think I tore my piss hole sneezing" 😭🤣

Baby Moon

Hi all, we're thinking about having a mini baby moon for a couple of nights. Just something special for the 2 of us before baby arrives. Looking to stay fairly local as I will be 36 weeks at that point. What are your thoughts? Its my first baby. Am I risking it being too close to due date?

Baby hip scan ?

Has anyone not being told their baby needs this then just randomly received a letter with an appointment ?
The HV asked me last week if they was waiting on hip scans because they can’t measure them if they’re having scans but as far as I knew they wasn’t.. today I’ve received a letter for both boys to have hip scans in a couple weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️ wtf is that all about 😅 no communication anywhere I swear!
