Any cause of concern?

25 weeks pregnant,
As per expected weight gain, I'm over by 1kg. Have become massive in last 2 weeks, baby bump popped and it's gotten so uncomfortable.
It's not just 1 place that's uncomfortable, stomach feels tight, hips and lower backhurt, pressure down there, feel bloated (not all at once).
I dont remember feeling so miserable for my previous zpregnancy.
Should I be worried about anything?

I went to a chiropractor who gave me some exercises and will make some.adjustments as the hip and pelvic pain is too much. I was told its quite normal but I've also strong painkillers from GP and will be referred for physio through midwife

Could have written this myself. This pregnancy has been something else compared to my first 🫩

I have scans every 2 weeks at the minute and have slightly more fluid than they expect but nothing to be concerned about at the minute. But it’s causing bump to be tighter and more pressure on hips & back. I’d mention it at your next midwife appointment to see if there’s any referrals they can do or any tips to help ease it

This is relatable actually. The tightness is quite sudden and towards the end of first trimester. The baby starts to grow pretty quickly around this time. It feels like your body isn't expanding enough to accommodate the baby. The midwife didnt seem concerned by it at all...hmm..but like you said I dont recollect if my previous pregnancy was like this

Running during pregnancy

Looking for a little reassurance from anyone who has continued running or exercising during early pregnancy.

I’m 42 and pregnant following IVF, after quite a journey involving surgery and fertility treatment to get here. Needless to say, I’m feeling pretty protective and anxious!

I’ve exercised and competed for years (HYROX, CrossFit and running) and have continued training but reduced everything to around 70% intensity.

I thought an easy run would be fine, but went out this morning at around 12-minute miles and experienced some unfamiliar little sensations in my tummy. Nothing painful, no persistent cramps or bleeding, but it made me stop and now I’m questioning whether running is sensible at all.

I’m booked in for my first scan at 7 weeks and the wait feels endless!

I’d love to hear from anyone who has been through IVF, had a pregnancy in their 40s or managed to continue exercising during the first trimester. Did you keep running or switch to something else?

I want to stay active without feeling like I’m putting this precious pregnancy at risk. ❤️

Nipt test

For those who had it done how long has it taken to get the results? I took the test on the 27th, I found out they didn’t send out until about the 30th and they said I should have my results in 7-10 days and I still haven’t gotten my results back

When I got my results back for previous pregnancies it only took a week the first time and about 5 days the second so im a bit confused why it’s taking so long

Weeks / months

What age do we stop saying baby’s age in weeks and start with months? Feel like this might be pretty self explanatory to some but I’m also aware that 16 weeks isn’t exactly 4 months… ahhhh driving myself crazy
