    anyone got a sore butt!?

    This may be nothing but I just wondered if anyone else had had really sore mucles in the last few weeks/days of their pregnancy? I woke up this morning feeling like I'd done some extreme training session yesterday as my back (around bra area), legs and especially my bum are very sore and achy...

    ecoballs any good?

    The title sounds dodgy I know but it's an innocent question! :lol: Just wondered if anyone else has used these? We're going to be using Terry nappies so lots of washing and the ecozone balls look good in terms of being kinder to baby skin and env. but I've tried lots of different eco products...

    obsessed with labour?

    I'm curious to know how many other women have labour on the brain 24/7 and wonder every time they have a BH, cramp or twinge if this is it? Honestly I'm turning into a nutcase! Was awake most of lastnight with back, pelvic pains, cramp and BHs which I'd say is fair to think could baby be...

    pains in your rear a sign of labour??

    I realise this is not really the kind of thing you ask perfect strangers but if I've learned anything about pregnancy so far it's that dignity and niceties go out of the window! My Q: there's something going on with bump, was really twingy lastnight and today it literally feels like baby is...

    timecale show to labour?

    Quick Q. I just wondered if anyone knew what the maximum timescale is between 'show' and labour? I've read a couple of things that said two weeks... I know it can come in dribs and drabs but once it starts surely that's the sign your cervix has started to losen up? I'm only 34weeks but I've had...

    Carpel Tunnel

    Can someone give me the non sugar coated version of how bad I can expect it to get please? I started off 4/5weeks ago getting pins and needles through the night and was given a number by my MW for self referal to the physio. I didn't call immediatly as I don't want to seem like a hypo and...

    Raspberry leaf tea?

    Has anyone used this before and found it helpful? Some people swear by it but others don't... How many cups should I be drinking a day to see the benefit? There's no suggested amount on the box so I've been having one cup a day this week but want to make sure I'm all flexible for the birth! Got...

    Can you get braxton hicks through your back?

    Hello ladies just wondered if anyone could shed some light? This is my first pregnancy so it's all new to me, just realised on christmas eve that I've been getting braxton hicks for ages I just didn't realise, think I expected them to be more obvious and painful than just uncomfortable. This...

    When did your baby turn?

    Im 31 weeks and MW seemed concerned that bump was still lying sideways. Said I'd have to go to hosp for a scan if it hasn't turned by 36weeks. Seems a bit odd to me, got lots of time before I'm due...I wouldn't want to hang upside down for 9weeks either!

    Hello ladies, thank god I'm now I've joined the third trimester crew, 22nd of Feb can't come quick enough! Have a query about back and pelvic pain. I've been getting this for a few weeks now and am a bit worried it could be my pelvis separating though not sure it's sore enough to be that? Spoke...

    Do big bumps usually mean early labour?

    Perhaps I'm wishful thinking but surely if you have a huge bump there's more pressure on the pelvis that could help you get going that bit quicker? Don't get me wrong I don't want to compromise bumps health but a couple of weeks early would be nice. I'm 26.5 weeks now and I feel extremely heavy...

    Recommended parenting reading for the total beginner?

    Hello ladies, I'm currently 22weeks with number one and this week it's all suddenly become very real - possibly something to do with the fact that I can now not only feel but see my belly moving! I have no young children in my family and am the first of my group of friends to have kids. I'm...

    Urine Infection and antibiotics

    Last weekend I started with symptoms of a urine infection and managed to get a doctors app on Monday. He gave me a minimum dose of antibiotics to take but I'm a bit worried it's affecting the baby. I've found that since the weekend bump hasn't really been moving much and when I used my fetal...

    I'm giving birth to Hidalgo!

    I bought the summer monitor (before I joined the forum and read the reviews I might add) and it was rubbish, however not to be deterred I bought an angelsound fetal monitor on ebay and it works a treat! I've not had the opportunity to hear the heartbeat before but it was totally amazing, I knew...

    Anyone lost weight? and anyone still sick?

    I know it's a strange occurrence in pregnancy but anyone else had this? I put on a stone and a half in the first 11weeks but have lost half a stone in the following 5 :think: I feel better for it and it will have brought my BMI down but not sure how healthy that is for the baby. The MW told me...
