Keep getting waves of pain in tummy but mostly if I stand up . Has anyone else had this at 3-4 weeks?

Hey Hun

Am having that now and am nearly 15 w also

Shooting pains and abdominal pains too. I can't help but worry and hope all is well after al there is a little person growing in there. I am so panicked I have booked a private scan for Saturday they call it the quick reassure scan.

I would say it's normal but what's normal

In the process 😞

Hey TamTam, it could well be round ligament pain you are describing. Your body releases the relaxin hormone in pregnancy and it loosens all your muscles around the abdomen and pelvis. You'd feel it especially if you're changing position, like in bed or getting up from bed. Sometimes it feels like a stitch. And there will also be some stretching going on in there.

Hopefully the scan will reassure you, and not long now until your 20 weeks scan and feeling kicks! They might even be able to tell if it's a boy or girl on Saturday if you ask.

Ooooo you know I was thinking that about finding out the sex 😬, I just hope that all is well also I did have inter course with hubby so that could

Be another reason why it's all

Out of source the first time in nearly 3.5 months we are both scared now so may well avoid it for the duration 🙈 He has been so patient.

It's just hard to know if all is well as I really don't feel pregnant at all, other than perhaps a slight discomfort or boob pain everyone and then this is actually driving me up the wall.

Can't quite believe your babies will be here soon, you have been an amazing support to all is ladies in here with your journey and experience 😘

I wish you well and an easy birth for your miracles xxx

Ah thanks TamTam, I kinda like to know how everyone is getting on and at this stage I'm not able for much so spend way too much time on Internet! I can't believe you're at 15 weeks already, seems like that's going quick, although maybe not to you!!

We kind of ended up being celibate all this time - the one and only time we were going to do the deed I got a bleed just beforehand and ended up going to hospital so we haven't been brave enough since! I lost most of the symptoms (nausea, tiredness, sore boobs) in the second trimester but don't worry, there are some lovely ones that may be on the way like heartburn, piles 🙈, pelvic pain, swollen feet! All very glamorous! Enjoy the 2nd trimester as that's the easiest one.

They should be able to tell the sex at 15 weeks if the little one isn't shy, all depends on how they are lying. x

Hi tamtam, good you've booked a scan for peace of mind. As Tlove has said i beleve that it's probably just your body stretching and baby getting comfy.

I'm glad I went for a scan even though I was only 3 weeks last week it did put my mind at rest .

I've never been pregnant before so not sure what it's meant to feel like .

I'm 4 weeks tmr And my scans in 2 weeks , so will feel great if they manage to hear a heart beat . Then my nxt hurdle will be another 6 weeks. Until I'm 12 weeks. Trying not to look too far ahead but it's hard .

Hope scan goes well sat , let me know xxx
