I am waiting to hear back from my GP about using the Codeine for any length of time - was prescribed it early on for my IBS and then again for the SPD but have been trying to only take it when absolutely necessary! I'm stuck feeling like if I was signed off and took it easy at home then I may be...

I was diagnosed at 13 weeks and my MW wouldn't have it to start with - said it was too early to be that! Did you have anything like that? My Tubigrip is uncomfortable now, so am hoping they will offer me a belt next to help.... Trying to stay at work as long as possible! Which painkillers did...

Ouchie! I just wish there was more that could be done..... At the minute I'm still mobile (of sorts) but cannot go shopping/ walk the dogs etc without suffering for it! Sometimes I can get through a day by thinking that it's not forever, but then other days (like today :( ) I think that 19 weeks...

Sneezing and coughing are so painful - I thought I'd torn a stomach muscle yesterday morning :( I know I'm suffering from ligament pain as well, but is anyone else having pain in the front i.e pubic bone and along bikini line? My hips are still sore, especially my right hip! I've had to take...

I think it's only natural to have some concerns/worries. I still get moments when I have irrational thoughts/worries and have to remind myself to relax! I'm desperate to enjoy this pregnancy as it's such a special time and I'm ruining it by stressing about things out of my control! Please do...

A colleague at work has 22yo twin boys - there was NO family history of twins on either side............

Ok, so I'm soooooooo bored at work, didn't know if anyone would be interested in a pregnancy word game? Could be either start the next word with the last letter of the previous word, or the first word that pops into your head when you think of the previous word (iykwim?!?) i.e 1. Bump -...

I was sent the Tesco Baby Club magazine on Saturday and they had some lovely maternity stuff advertised so online I went to treat myself as my wardrobe has now got very small and NOTHING! I was so cross I phoned their customer services and had a bit of a rant about how I was going to miss out on...

I started getting these from about 15 weeks - some of the sharper pains were enough to take your breath away, but the dull ache is awful as it is more constant! Pregnancy is tougher than I thought ;)

Does anyone else get inappropriate comments about size/weight etc or people coming up and touching their bump?!? I'm proud to be pregnant and haven't been hiding underneath tents, but equally I'm not wearing very tight clothes - but I'm getting really fed up with people touching (or trying to...

I've got to back for a second scan as my LO did the same at my 20 week scan! Was hiding her top lip with her hands and wouldn't lie right for the heart measurements - he managed to get a look at her lip in the end. I worried for a while after as he didn't ask me to jiggle around or anything -...

^^WSS! Still have days like this.......

:hugs:Really sorry to hear your sad news - the advice given is excellent Xxx

I've read all 3 and enjoyed them all :) But was already pregnant when I read them.......

Not sure what I want to gain from this post, but just wanted to vent a bit! Granted I'm not particularly happy in my job (more company policy/managers attitudes than unhappy with the job I do), but I am left feeling like a spare part. I was signed off sick last week as my ligament pain/SPD...
