I had a pain in my side last week which disappeared after a few days but has come back again
I've also started getting aching pains in my shoulder blades.

This is already at 5 weeks!

I had really bad sickness with dd until 12 weeks so fingers crossed that doesn't come back.

I hope we all avoid it!

NBG - Any reason for your pains? I've not heard of pain in shoulderblades before. It could be stretching in your side but your sholders? hmmmm

I hope you get better soon tho,

I did have this later on in my pregnancy with dd and tbh it didn't stop. I get it when I sit funny sometimes.

I think I'm going to ask to see the midwife sooner rather than later to put my mind at rest. I didn't sleep a wink last night and I've got a feeling tonights going to be no different.

If I'm totally honest I feel very anxious about the whole thing. I don't know whether it's because I'm more aware of what could happen IYKWIM. I too had an early miscarriage a month before I conceived dd so thats in the back of my mind too.

I'm sure after I've spoke to the midwife I'll feel tons better though.

jinglediddle · 07/12/2005 16:26

nbg - don't mean to worry you bu fi the pain gets worse you should get it checked out, pain inthe shoulder is a classic syptom of ectopic pregnancy and coudl be very very dangerous to your health if left un-checked. Don't mean to scare you, just wanted to make sure you are in the best health possible.

Have just been to Dr's. He said it's a pulled muscle. the pain isn't in the right area for an ectopic.

Big sigh of relief!

Midwife is calling tomorrow to make appt with me.

jinglediddle · 07/12/2005 19:17

NBG - phew, so pleased that you're ok and that you got it checked. well worth being sure. hope you're ok. Now go and put your feet up!!!

Ooooh how exciting,lots of August babies due.Congratulations to everyone!My edd is the 2nd Aug,but I am always 8-10 days late(this is my 4th),so I think this one will be too.I am thrilled,haven't really told anyone yet though.The nausea has just kicked in,so I don't think it will be a secret 4 long.

Arabica · 07/12/2005 23:38

Hi Fortnight! We have the same EDD. My nausea has already kicked in, though--feeling pretty ghastly and looking even worse. Can still eat though.

Twiga · 08/12/2005 00:36

Wow an August 2006 thread - the last year has really flown! Popping in from the Aug babies 05 thread - dd was 14 days late so should really be Sept!

Congrats Fortnite and thanks twiga.

Been getting weird pains in my stomach since last night, it's doing my head in. Didn't get much sleep so am knackered today. Still havent felt as though I'm going to be sick, and I havent found any food I particulary like or dislike.

It'll be my second Pucca, I have a 19 month dd.

When are you all going to tell people?

pucca · 08/12/2005 09:00

Mumswish...i too have been having crampy type pains, i remember having them 1st time round and i kept running the toilet to see if there was any blood and was very upset but all was fine.

There is a thread here (which i added to last night)

here

pucca · 08/12/2005 09:02

Rubles...very similar to me then, my dd is 2 next month I know this pregnancy will fly by with running after a toddler, not like the 1st time which seemed to drag for me

I've been trying to explain to dd about the baby. We asked her if she wanted a baby. Her response..... No!
Although she keeps patting and pointing to my stomache and saying baby

I've told everyone else. I can't help myself, it's so exciting.

Are those of you expecting your second noticing a bump yet?
