Hi Layla I had those too. I think if they're sharp sudden pains that only last a moment then it's probably just the uterus stretching - Rounded ligaments I believe is the technical term. Mine used to come on after a sudden movement - e.g. getting in or out of car or doing something...

Hi Over the Moon I love the name Kiera. The Irish spelling is Ciara if you're interested. (It's been anglicised somewhat). Mind you with Erin as a first name you've gone as Irish as you could! And Fionn or Fionnan for a boy is equivalent to your Finn name - Fionn Mac Cool was a famous...

Hi again No idea what the baby is. I had strong feelings that it was a boy at first but they've kind of faded now so I've no idea really. My friend is also going private outside of Belfast and has a similar view to you - is starting to regret paying so much when it seems I'm getting as much...

Hi Pink Lady I'm in Belfast too - the Royal - due in November. I don't think I want to know the sex till it's born though. I have more girls names in mind that boys ones. What boys names are you thinking of? Was thinking about the private option but have no one to ask about in Belfast...

Hi Girls It's like seeing my own thoughts in print. I had very very few symptons and convinced that the 4 pregnancy test were wrong and I'd go into the scan and be laughed out of the place. Well guess what? I had the scan and I saw my baby and it's real and no-one could've been more...

Ree Please be assured that you probably are pregnant. My first test was so faint that my husband couldn't really see it - I could though. I didn't take another test that day figuring that if my levels were so low I'd need to test only first thing in the morning to have any hope. My second...

Just noticed this on the BBC website. An employment law specialist is taking questions. You might want to contact her about your query. H http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/m ... 534241.stm

Don't be worrying Kim. As far as I know the implantation can take place after your positive test if you take your test very early on (which you did). I had no implantation bleeding but I know my friends did - some after discovering their pregnancy. I had a positive test before my missed...

Rosie Roo I've been thinking about this. I think the best thing to do - while waiting further advice - is to go to see this man and ask him to put his views in writing as you're not sure you fully understand his position. If he refuses ask him his position again and write it all down in...

Kim I'm absolutely thrilled for you. I've been keeping an eye on your threads and I had a feeling it was only a matter of time. Make sure you relax and enjoy every moment. So you're now in the BFP club. I'm now about 12 weeks gone and starting to tell people and it's a great feeling...

Hello again I don't have my first scan till the 13 week mark so I've been booked for that since last month but have had no other contact with anyone else since my very first hospital appointment. Also have the boy feeling - but I don't really mind either way. DH thinks it's a girl...

Hi Catherine I'm also due on 19th Nov but that has yet to be confirmed. I expect it to be later though - don't know why really. No scans or appointments yet so hard to tell for sure. Happy

My experience has been different again. I got a positive result at 5 weeks and saw the doctor the next day who did no tests whatsoever but sent my details direct to the hospital. I received a letter a few weeks later with a date for a 13 week scan and I have had absolutely no other contact...

Hi Girls Great to read your posts as they remind me a lot of my own experiences. I'm 30, married 2 years and I came off the pill in September (after 10 years) and made a conscious decision not to start trying until the new year but actually took no other precautions in between times. I...

Hi Noirin I will probably mention it to a few friends too on the basis that they'll find out anyway if there are any probs which hopefully there won't be. I've had a bit of evening sickness too actually (from about 6pm). I find I need to eat every 3 hours or so to alleviate it but can't...
