I have a really tiny little bump appearing now but to other people you can not tell I am pregnant. I am worried it means something is wrong with my baby??? When I had my scan at 13 weeks everything was fine and the baby was a good size but as I am hardly showing I am worried it might have stopped growing properley or something??? I have still got pregnancy symptoms. Is anyone else pregnant but hardly showing???

How far along were you when you had your Glucose test? I will be 24 weeks, but every website says your usually 28 weeks unless there is a specific concern, which I do not have! Just wondering!!!

Rant #1 : Backache! I toss and turn at night, and I know it is ideal to sleep on your side but always end up sleeping on my back as I find this the most comfortable!

Rant #2 : Tiredness! I need caffeine, but you aren't allowed it during pregnancy! I am literally dropping off at work, I'm suprised I haven't started drooling on the desk lol!

Rant #3 : Sciatica! Oh the pain!

At (a rather large) 5 n 1/2 months pregnant, I find the extra weight hard to carry and all these problems are getting me down. I wanted my pregnancy to be a happy time but through all of the hormones and acne and pains, I can't help but feel as though I am acting like a miserable ungrateful moaner :-(

Does anyone have any ideas to help cure the aches and pains? Or even as a bonus, the acne and rashes! Just want to feel blooming and radient and to enjoy my pregnancy!

Thanks in advance xxx

Hi, I'm 38 and I've been on Yasmin BCP for about 18 months and have fallen pregnant. I'm wondering how this has happened. I do remember about 6 weeks ago feeling sick and upset in the stomach so could that have affected the pill and stopped it from working properly? Has anyone else fallen pregnant while on the pill? Is the pill really 100% effective to prevent pregnancy??

Hi, I went in at 16 weeks of my pregnancy and my doc told me that she is 90% certain that it is a girl. My mother in law has been buying tons of pink baby stuff and now I am a but worried that it might be a boy. The ultrasound showed the baby playing with it's cord and the legs were crossed but she did get a glimpse between the legs and said it looks like a girl. What do you think? Anyone experienced something similar?

After a BM I noticed one single spot of blood in the toilet. When I wiped there was nothing there and I havent had anything since the one spot in toilet. Should I be concerned? No significant cramping or pain, what do you think it could be. I have my 1st visit on the 5th should I call to be seen now or just wait and mention it at the appt? Thank you!

I'm a big lady. I'm 166cm and 108kg. I'm just wondering from other fellow big ladies out there how soon did you start to show that you were pregnant? I'm currently 10w 2d pregnant. I think that it may be 5 or even 6 months before I start to show as I don't have a flat tummy anyway.

My fiance and I have been discussing this and I'm just curious to get some insight because I definitely want kids, but I'm just nervous about the whole thing and want the best for me and the baby when we get there. How was the recovery? Have there been any long term affects? Are you glad you chose that over natural birth? Thanks!

I am 20 weeks pregnant and I cannot seem to kick my smoking habit. When I found out I was expecting (at about 6 weeks) I was smoking a pack or more a day. I have cut down (as per my gp's advice) to 3 a day. My GP told me it was dangerous to quit abruptly so she told me to slowly cut back.

I should really have quit by now but I am find it really hard to kick my 3 butt a day habit. I am wondering if anyone else out there has gone through this and what they did to break the habit.

Please no discrimination, I am aware of the consequences...that is why I am seeking help

I think I'm pregnant, and would like some advice. My instincts tell me I am, and I feel like I'm already having symptoms. I have been very emotional, and I'm having abdominal cramps. I know I'm not about to start my period because I just got off of it about a week and a half ago. Anyone had experience with this?

My first child would not latch on, so I think I'm just going to pump all the time and feed my new baby (due in Jan.) breast milk from a bottle. Does anyone have any suggestions on which breast pump would meet my needs. I don't want to spend over $150. so please keep that in mind when replying... THANKS!!

I'm currently 10w 1d pregnant. I've been having my hCG levels monitored weekly as my last 2 pregnancies ended in miscarriage. At 8 weeks they were 64,400. At 9 weeks they had dropped to 53,100. My doctor sent me in for an ultrasound to check on the baby. My baby was fine. Had a heartrate of 170 bpm and measured 9w 2d in size which was spot on. I just got my results through from yesterday at my level has dropped again to 41,700. I'm seeing my doctor this afternoon but I'm really worried that I'm gonna lose this baby as well. My doctor told me last week that your levels can start to go down in your 3rd month as the placenta is taking over but I thought it would either stay the same or not go down as much again. Has anyone been through this situation and had a positive outcome?
