Hi, I know this is really stupid and paranoid...
I had a hideous v early pregnancy with bleeding & pains, LOADS of sickness etc for the first trimester...
But my second trimester has been an absolute dream - no negative side-effects at all, no pain, & my baby is VERY active so lots of reassurance that he's OK...
But since the start of this week (27), he's gone really quiet on me - maybe only 2 or 3 kicks a day (more like flutters or rumbles actually), & can't get him to do it 'on command' lol by gently prodding or getting into a position he always used to kick in. Added to this, I've got quite strong aches all down my left side, espec in the ovaries-type area...kind of like a dull periody ache. No bleeding or weird discharge...but it's still scaring me, espec as I've been cleared 'fit to fly' after my good track record & am going abroad to visit my Dad on TUesday!!!
My GPs is closed till Mon and I'd have to cram in an appointment before dashing to the airport...& chances of seeing a midwife before I go at this short notice is slim to non.
Am I just being stupid or should I be really worried??? I cn't stand the thought of anything being wrong!! I'm worried I've been doing too much excercise/ lifting too much at work/ getting too stressed over issues with my ex etc....
argh! xxxxxxxxx
