cherrycobbler · 12/02/2012 18:26

Hi late I had period type cramps from about 26-ish weeks, particularly when tires or after walking etc. They told me it was round ligament pain and everything stretching. If you're worried at all though I would give your midwife a call. I ended up going in to be monitored a couple of times when I panicked about stuff, and the hospital midwives were really lovely and said always give them a call if at all concerned and they would rather check you over and reassure you all is well than you sit at home worrying. Try and relax this eve but don't hesitate to call your mw if it carries on xx

highheelsandequations · 12/02/2012 19:11

late I also had ligament pain which felt like period cramps, can't remember when but definitely on a few different occassions throughout, usually just before bump growth spurts I think :) Agree with cherry that you should phone midwives (or NHS 24/direct) if you're worried, they will never bother about having to reassure a pregnant lady!

Flickstar · 12/02/2012 21:08

Congratulations to dear lanky! Another wonderful boy! I cant wait for photos. You did so well! Am very impressed and hope I can be as tough as you

late I often have aches and stretching pains and have low down pain which is a result of my recurring UTIs. Maybe you could get your wee checked and rule out a UTI as they can give a similar pain.

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 12/02/2012 21:30

Thanks everyone for your responses, it's reassuring to hear that this kind of thing is not unusual! Having spent most of the afternoon on the sofa not doing much, the cramps have subdued a bit. It sounds like it's most likely to be the ligament thing, but I also get UTIs Flick, so I'll keep an eye on that... If it's unchanged tomorrow I'll contact my midwife.
Thanks again everyone

cherrycobbler · 13/02/2012 14:27

late hope you are feeling better today x

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 13/02/2012 22:17

Thanks Cherry, although it's still a bit uncomfortable the cramps have stopped - they were the main thing I was anxious about so feeling a lot better now. It's a bit of a rollercoaster doing this for the first time isn't it!
Tomorrow my little baby is Officially Viable!

Truffkin · 14/02/2012 09:29

Congratulations Lanky it sounds like you did an amazing job! Hope you have enjoyed lots of lovely snuggles as a family and you are now on the mend at home.

highheelsandequations · 18/02/2012 21:21

Quiet in here, how is everyone?

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 19/02/2012 10:22

Hello highheels hope all's well with you & Rose

Lanky, how are you enjoying having the new little person sharing your house now? Hope you're all having fun (and you're getting enough sleep!)

Florin, are you back from your hols? Did you have a wonderful relaxing time on the boat in the sunshine?

Things are hotting up in the Late household - we accepted and offer for our flat a couple of weeks ago, and we had an offer accepted for a house last week! It's all very grown up - you know you're entering a new stage of life when you see the house and the first thing you think is 'Ooo, it's opposite a nice park with a playground', and not 'Ooo, that pub at the end of the road looks good'
So fingers crossed it all goes through smoothly...

I have a growth scan tomorrow (will be 24+6) which will hopefully confirm the EDD. Looking forward to seeing the baby again. It's been very active and DH loves sitting with his hand on the bump feeling it doing its boxercise Those cramps I had last weekend had gone by the end of last Monday, I think it must have been the ligament thing, and I'm sure the bump grew by about a third in the space of those 2 days!

highheelsandequations · 19/02/2012 15:49

Hi late, all's fine except Rose full of the cold (little eyes are all gummy :() and I'm poorly today too. Would love some sleep one day soon too! Fingers crossed for your house, so exciting. Love the idea of bump boxercise, I miss feeling all the kicks and wriggles in my tummy (actually I still miss being pregnant, I loved it!!). Glad the cramps have stopped too, it's horrible having weird aches and pains when pregnant, I was forever worrying about one thing or another. Enjoy your next peek at baby late tomorrow.

Lanky any names yet? Hope you're doing okay.

Waves to everyone else.

Fairygodmother1 · 19/02/2012 17:17

Hi highheels thanks for the invite! I'm here! Can't believe I finally graduated

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 19/02/2012 20:32

Welcome Fairy! good to have you join us - when did you get your BFP? It's a crazily exciting time, this bit! Hope you're feeling well

Truffkin · 19/02/2012 22:30

Congratulations Fairy has it sunk in yet? Hope Lanky is getting on well and enjoying things at home.

Lucas was baptised today and we've had a lovely time. Slight poonami incident caused us to detour home between the service and reception to get cleaned up I've been totally overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness and generosity of our friends and family and I'm so happy that we have lovely people for Lucas to grow up around. Am having a major wuss moment!!

Hope everyone is ok xx

PearlyFish · 19/02/2012 22:44

Hi ladies,
Have finally plucked up the courage to come over to the graduates thread. Thanks to cave highheels and late for the encouragement!

I wasn't on the conception thread long but been trying 7 months. I'd like to stick with the frolickers if you'll have me?!
I'm 5+4 today, got my fingers tightly crossed that all goes well.

Big congrats to fairy, when is your estimated due date? The MN calculator gives 20th Oct for me.

Fairygodmother1 · 20/02/2012 05:26

Hi ya, I got BFP on Friday - still don't think it's sunk in yet. Had a bit of brownish spotting yesterday which made me panic but only lasted a few hours so everything must be ok, plus no pain. Only occassional aches & feeling like I'm coming on. Tender boobs, sore back, almost coldy symptoms, & a little heart burn sometimes is all I'm feeling but early days.

I'm due 22nd October. Seems such a long way off. I never wanted to find out this early but I was getting fed up of sore boobs & back & no AF. I did it thinking that it would entice it to come on but a faint little line was there! So bought a digital one & it came up Pregnant straight away!

We've been trying for almost 4 1/2 years! I'm so excited & scared at the same time as this baby is soooo wanted/anticipated! The next 8 months are gonna seem like forever!

Fairygodmother1 · 20/02/2012 06:54

Well, an update to keep my mind from breaking me apart...got up for a wee just after last post & to get ready for work, went to the loo & a ton of brownish-pink discharge, the sort I get at the beginning or end of a period.

Spoken to Midwife team but they won't see me until I see a DR. Then he needs to decide whether I need to go to EPU!

So off to Dr in about 30 mins!

highheelsandequations · 20/02/2012 08:53

Fairy how did you get on at the Dr? I found the first 15 weeks absolutely terrifying, not helped by spotting on and off from 8-14 weeks. Spotting is really common, unfortunately there's not a lot they can do, especially so early on as a scan wouldn't show anything yet. Hope you're okay and have had some reassurance. Big hugs.

Welcome pearly

Glad you had a lovely baptism truff

Fairygodmother1 · 20/02/2012 13:34

Hi ya,

Bed rest for a week been prescibed. Have a scan on thursday as I'm actually 5+4!!!! She said as there's no red blood & no pain it's more than likely implantation bleeding!

Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!!!

Flickstar · 20/02/2012 13:43

Hello all,

Welcome to fairy and pearly! So nice to have some new graduates after such a long time.

Glad you have a scan booked in fairy Enjoy that bed rest and make sure you take it very easy.

late how was your scan? Any sneaky peeks?!

Lovely to hear about Lucas' Christening truff sounds like it was a really special day.

Hope you and Rose are now on the mend HH.

All well here- no real news. My '20' week scan is actually not until 22 weeks so still feels like an age away! I have another UTI so more antibiotics and also have a horrid sinus headache but other than that I am just hanging in here counting down until my next scan.

Love to all

highheelsandequations · 20/02/2012 16:30

Fairy so glad you got some reassurance and enjoy the rest. Hope all goes well with the scan on Thursday, a quick warning that they might need to get you back for a scan a week or so later so don't be worried/surprised if this happens. I had a scan around the same time and they couldn't see anything, a week later there was a little flickering heart :)

Flick good to hear from you, hope you're soon recovered from the UTI and headache. What's the date for your scan? You'll soon look back and wonder where the time went!

List update, Lanky have but DOB 11th, hope that's right?

raspberrytipple · 20/02/2012 18:04

Fairy! If you are 5+4 - how soon does that mean you got busy after your lap & dye? Wasn't that just before Christmas? I'm just wondering how quick we can get back on the waggon from April!

Fairygodmother1 · 20/02/2012 18:47

We tried straight after but didn't catch that month but did the month after!

Fairygodmother1 · 20/02/2012 18:47

Obviously not straight after - 2 weeks after op!

Beeblebear · 20/02/2012 21:43

Peeks in and waves. Finally tracked down the current ftf grads thread.

Pearly and faity - nice to see ypu. Hope all is well.

cherrycobbler · 20/02/2012 22:44

welcome pearlyfish and fairy, so exciting to have new arrivals! Hope you are taking it easy fairy and there's no more spotting.

truff so glad christening went well, I got v emotional at C's baptism too and totally didn't think I would. Cried all evening too opening all the cards and reading the little messages our friends and family had written for C in the books etc they'd bought her. Sniff. Hope poonami wasn't over a lovely cream gown that's been passed down the generations?!

Lanky hope you are doing ok my lovely.
