Anyone recall when they start? Can remember from c but had achy back and belly all weekend. Having episodes where belly feels quite tight andpainful, makes me feel a little nauseouslike stomach has clenched, much worse when ive been wandering or carrying caelyn for a bit and goes round to back.

With Aimee I barely had them, but this time around I have been getting them since at least 20 weeks.

Even to the point at 23 weeks ish where I was stopped in my tracks because of them.

I seem to spend most of my days having them now xx

I dont think I actually had them with Caitlin Actually I def didnt. Even in full labour I only had back & thigh pain. Dont think my tummy muscles are connected to my womb at all

Think my cousin said they were worse with her 2nd but duno when they started - sorry not much help!

they start at about 16 weeks but arent usually strong enuf to feel until about 18 - 20 weeks I miss my BH

I didn't have any with Ollie x

I've been getting mild ones for about a week hun, I can't really remember when they started with Libby - I think it was later than this though. xx

Probs what it is then. Like i sy worse when im darting about so maybe less darting

Less darting more relaxing!

Well we do try and tell you woman!!!

How are you today? xx

Mmmmm bit meh. Been to see gp who has signed me off for another month. Midwife called me this morning and told her abot clinic and she was disgusted. Said to see her if i had any concerns and she wud chase things up if need be.

Generally just bit fed up. Feel like am constantly grumpy and moaning these days. Just seem to have had stuffing knocked out of me since friday and tired and achy. God im no fun to be about am i lol

Don't be daft!! We all know how pants you've been feeling, glad to hear you've got another month off (although I bet you're not). It's great that you've got your midwife's support as well. xx

Yeah you dont think when you are put under consultant care that you would end up actually feeling safer with your midwife do you

I wudnt trust that shower from the other day to deliver my *$%£ mail much less my baby

Have you had your 20 weeks scan yet?? Are you gonna find out what you having?? xx

No you wouldn't, I've only met my consultant once and he seemed just as pants as yours, I've got an appointment with him on the 22nd and I'm tempted to cancel because I just know it will be pointless! xx

My scan is thursday at 1530 and im finding out

Im only going to clinic in jan for my 28 week appt cos im getting a sec date suse. And to make sure that moron isnt on shift that day

I don't blame you!!! It amazes you how they can actually become consultants in the first place! xx

Well my mw is great and said to make her my 1st point o call and she willmake sure it dont happen again. Im no stranger to looking after myself but nice to know someones got my back too

iv read they start as early as 6 weeks but most women wont feel them till around 20 weeks earliest, no word of a lie i felt them from 9 weeks with oliver and around 16 weeks with leo!! from around 20 weeks i had at least 5 a day till the end and very strong ones at that!! some use they did eh

Cheers guys, am assuming its BH then though will prob mention to mw thurs when i see her for bp and piss check

id assume they were BH's too. i got the tight belly when i walked up the stairs with ben and alasdair :\

i was under consultant care due to previous m/c and being borderline under weight i was on the cut off and i never saw my actual consultant i saw her underdog twice throughout the whole 40 weeks x

Dont actually have too many problems seeing a more junior doctor as long as its not that one ever again. Id actually rather speak to a medical student than him!!! Still Ive calmed about it all now as ive decided if i have any worries will go to my mw
