Sending you love and best wishes. All I can say positive is that I had horrific lower back pain, groin and bum and tang my clinic in a panic. They said just ride with it. I used a hot water bottle on my back and paracetamol. They said I could take codeine but I donāt react well with it so didnāt. Things settled down for me but then happened again every so often. Hope everything will be okay. Sorry heās not been supportive. Men can be so insensitive . Sending love x
Thank you for youāre response my uncle is here taking care of me now heās more like my dad he brought me up, he just got me a hot water bottle while my husband is just laying on the sofa xx
Iām sorry your husband isnāt being more attentive and supportive bloody men š„² twinges are normal in pregnancy as baby grows uterus and other surrounding ligaments will stretch and that can cause mild cramping. I would put your feet up sod the housework! You matter moreš keep up fluids as pregnancy is awful for causing constipation and these can feel like cramping too. My midwife told me to expect cramping when baby had a growth spurt ( I was 16 weeks pregnant with my daughter at the time and told to expect cramps then) I was glad to be warned as I wouldāve freaked out! There is no link to increase of miscarriage with Covid vaccination. I know how you feel as I had spotting at 14 weeks a day after having my 2nd Covid vaccination I was so scared but my baby us fine and Iām 33 weeks pregnant tomorrow. Iāve had 3 early losses and 1 late loss and I know previous losses can really make you so much more anxious ( Iām still anxious now ) and rob the excitement and joy out a pregnancy which should be a happy and wonderful time š„² you could always ask the early pregnancy unit for a scan tomorrow just for reassurance with the timing of it and previous losses mine gave me a scan the next day afterwards I found them very accommodating and supportive š some early pregnancy units require a drs referral ( mine does) and some allow you to self refer. I hope they can offer you scan so you can put your mind at rest Xx
Try not to worry too much please. My sister had a lot of cramps and pain in her early pregnancy say from 6 weeks which she ended up visiting the hospital a lot of time but her baby was ok she is now 20 weeks + and still has the pain sometimes that to even work at times was a big problem for her in the early days of her pregnancy call your doctor and cry to them to book you in for early pregnancy scan that will help you
Honestly some men š Iām so sorry youāre having to go through this, if you have severe cramps Iād go to A&E just to be on the safe side but if theyāre not too bad then try not to worry. As for your husband Iād be telling him to finish the housework for the rest of your pregnancy for being so insensitive, thatāll teach him š sending lots of love xxx
They have kind of calmed down now but I will be ringing docs in the morning just to be on the safe side. And thereās more chance of my cat doing the house work šš xxx
Hey itās so rubbish and hard isnāt it. I would check with your clinic tomorrow. I have had some very slight spotting today and cramps, going to call clinic first thing tomorrow. Take care x
Heās currently sat down stairs with music blasting while Iām in bed feeling awful š I canāt take much more xx
How are you getting on? Xx
Iām 5+3 and have had cramps for two weeks. Some days I really bloat up and feel like I need the toilet and have a lot of gas (which I donāt), and I just have to ride with it for 15 minutes until it disappears. Other days itās unbearable pain and I feel light headed, but again it disappears within 15 minutes. My clinic is getting me in for an early scan next week, but the nurse I spoke with seemed pretty confident that itās just early cramps. I totally sympathise with you though, these are the type of symptoms that doctor google does not count as ānormalāš« and it can send you into meltdown xx
