today i have had discomfort ..best way i can describe it behind where my c-section scar is but not related to it...all the way across.. it actually feels like a pulled muscle sortof? freaks me a little cause i never had it last time but i never had a hulking great toddler to lift either:) course i worry about the worst so rang mw who said to keep an eye on it but either just pulled muscle or start of tummy upset but feels muscular to me...

i had one ten second burst of like a flash before eyes as well which freaked me out as i had a migrane aura(flashing lights etc for 30 mins) the day bub died but i never knew the first time till 4 weeks later..she said that is probably the bright sun and low bloods and low bp as I was walking briskly... she said it's ok but I need to learn to chill! anyway anyone had the tummy thing before?

sorry for TMI but kinda feels like when you are really blocked up and cant go but you have.. (and i have 2 times so not that)

I think I got a bit of discomfort around the end of my first trimester down there with this baby . I put it down to the ligaments etc stretching over where the C scar was. But it wasn't quite as sharp as you're describing.

That's freaky about the migrane last time but I'd be inclined to agree with your MW and say it was low BP that was the culprit this time.

I'm finding so many of my pregnancy symptoms are exaggerated this time around and I'm sure it's because we are running ourselves ragged with the toddlers.

I had that pain with Spencer and the mw said it was probably ligaments stretching, she also did a pee test just in case and it turned out that I had a UTI, not sure if that caused the pain or just a coincidence but you could take ural just to be on the safe side.

Yeah sounds like low bp, I have that happen to me sometimes (I have low bp even when not pregnant) when I stand up too quick or jump out of bed etc and it will be exaggerated with being pregnant.

yeah she asked me about the uti and symptoms but when i said no buring etc she didn't say anything about testing? might ask her anyway?

lying down tonight feels worse..like almost painful but sitting up feels fine.. really really weird..if still like this in the morning I'll contact her....not pain like contractions or anything....just uncomfortable/bordering on pain like something is stuck maybe? so hard to describe...whatever it is..hope it goes soon!:)

Yeah stress wreaks havoc with your guts.

The relaxin hormone can cause you to have a UTI without any of the usual symptoms. You can do a home check though by peeing in a clear container, the pee should be nice and clear if all good and will be cloudy if you have an infection and ural is totally safe so you can always take some if you like as it won't do any harm if you don't a UTI

yep just from chemist, just make sure it is ural cos some of the other brands aren't recommended during pregnancy.

Could be, lifting a toddler can be very awkward, they aren't always the most willing lump to carry around

I've been getting that on and off too, and it feels like really bad trapped gas that is pressing on a muscle or something.    Could be a little bit of really high up blockage or constipation. Usually relieves itself for me when I go to the toilet and really get it all out.     (sorry TMI lol)

I have a different sort of pain and I am not sure if I should ask my doctor about it or if it is just normal...when I sneeze or cough especially if suddenly I get this really sharp pains low down. It feels like it should be muscles or tendons or somenthing but I'm not sure if I should give it a second thought. It doesn't last very long though so I suppose its nothing to worry about.
