Weird pregnancy symptoms: Ask a midwife

[JoshMumsnet]

Hi,

We asked Clare, a midwife, to cover a few commonly asked questions (or maybe questions you never asked), with Hayley and Becky who are both pregnant.

Topics covered include:

• Cervical mucus
• A show
• Piles
• Swollen feet
• Warer retention
• Digestive problems
• Heartburn
• Feeling emotional

Hopefully you'll find it helpful!

Could you ask her to look at my post regarding cervical mucus as unsure if its my mucus plug

Am 6 weeks pregnant and am suffering from a lot of pain lower belly and back. Is this normal or should I be worried. As I've had 4 MC

I’m 23 weeks and keep getting cramp in my feet and legs. Wakes me up during the night. I don’t usually experience this. Curious to know if this is pregnancy related or just coincidence?

@PurpleFlowersInMyHair I had this during my first pregnancy and it turned out that I had low iron. Once I started taking iron tablets, the cramp pretty much disappeared.

What does a sudden loss of symptoms mean at 9 weeks?

Second @jummynbean’s question - I’ve had the same thing!

@monkeynuts18 have you spoken your midwife yet? Mine just said it happens sometimes and not to worry just yet. Likely going to book in for an early scan next week
