Girls I am 18 weeks on Wednesday and have noticed the last few days a funny little pressure in my tummy when bending over.....just wondering if this is normal around this time? It's not painful more a funny kind of discomfort. I haven't got a huge bump or anything either, just a definite roundness

sounds normal enough for me- your organs are starting to move up and around and things are making room for the baby in there- i had lots of odd niggles and pressure in the second trimester....now in the third trimester its nothing but pressure and I dont even need to bend over haha! (not that i could bend over if i tried :P)0 -

I woudln't worry about it Digs, it's sounds perfectly normal to me. Everything is being shifted and shoved into places other than their norm in order to make room for babs. If it's something that you are concerned about though just mention it at your next appointment. Although feeling pressure is only natural when ya consider all the changes your body is going through and the fact that the babs is really starting to grow now as well and needs more room. He/she is makin damn sure they have it to.

Aww Thumby they sound amazing! A credit to you to be so well behaved and helping so much def deserve to be spoiled! How are you feeling? How long have you left? I wouldn't fancy bed rest myself.. I don't think I could do it!
Thanks Tigress, yeah i'm dead proud of them alright. Ah i'm not bad right now, providing i stay practically immobile, but that's proving a bit difficult tonight as i've just moved my little one into her first bed and I keep havin to go all super nanny on her and put her back into the bed everytime she gets out. It's funny as hell though cause when she sees me comin she runs back from the stair guard and gets back into the bed giggling. I really hope i'm not in for a night of "hide and seek" toddler style.
I've another 15 weeks plus change to go yet. Although hopefully they'll be able to put me on something they know will work for the kidney infection and I can get off this poxy rest thing. It's just too difficult with kids at home and try as they might to help out (doing dishes etc) at the end of the day they are only kids and 1 they don't do it properly and more importantly 2 they shouldn't need to be doing it aside from their own little jobs that they already have.
How's you today?0 -
Still a good bit to go for ya
is it cause of kidney infections that you're on bed rest? Sounds like you're having loads a fun with the little one hehe 
I'm good thanks, huge, tired, cranky and some more lol! I'm getting a lot of pressure at the mo, it actually feels like he might just fall out 0 -
@thumby, eek 1605 weeks of possible bed rest!!!!! You're having a tough time.
@tigress, I can believe you're so close again....I have def been hovering between ttc and pregnancy for too long!
I have 17 weeks left and I have grown ALOT in the last fortnight....AND stretch marks have appeared just to mock me as well Im still loving pregnancy though, I lie it when the littler kicks. I love the heartburn, the aches and ll the pains I thought I'd never get to experience.
(And if you hand guessed, my hormones are all over the place this week.... V emotional at the mo!)0 -

@tigress, I've been getting extremely strong bh's the last god knows how long, the more pregnancies ya have the worse they get i've been told, along with that "they aren't painful" mantra is also an urban legand of the pregnancy world (my hosp docs words not mine lol). The kidney infection makes the actual contractions worse and can bring on preterm labour because of it.
@yh, i think the bedrest thing is only until they put me on more antibiotics and can clear the infection up (hopefully).
Fingers crossed for iguana 0 -

Did anyone else who had bad sickness in the first trimester find it came and went and you had good and bad days? I've been quite ill over the last week especially - not keeping water down etc, was off sick yesterday and did loads to try and combat it (ginger, acupressure bands, forcing myself to eat regular meals and not letting myself get hungry - I tried everything). I'm feeling a million times better today (only slightly nauseated), even my boss when I came in to work said I looked so much better.
Now I'm a bit worried my pregnancy symptoms are fading and something has gone wrong (I really can't win, can I?!). I'm only 8 weeks so the sickness should be lasting a bit longer, surely? I've a private scan on Saturday which is great but I am quite worried now 0 -
Murdy Wurdy I know how you feel, I drove myself demented in the first tri symptom watching, especially with my boobs! I went around like a mad woman feeling them and remember one evening being so upset when they didn't hurt anymore, I was so upset my poor husband didn't know what to do....two days later the pain was back with a bang.
My morning sickness was up and down then too, some days were fine, others not so fine. My body then settled into a routine around week 10 of being sick every morning which I still am (18 weeks and counting) but am used to it now so not so bad, most peoples morning sickness wears off around the end of the first tri.
We can be our own worst enemies, I know it is easy for me to say but try your hardest to relax and I am sure everything will be fine on Saturday. Wait until you see baby, it's amazing 0 -

Don't go stressing yourself out over symptoms coming and going. Every woman/pregnancy is different but most of us have at some stage gone through the disappearing symptoms stage too. On my other three i barerly had any, on this one it was constant from the day after i found out i was preggers, i had no symptoms at all of being preggers aside from a late period and once i found out it all it me less than 24 hours later and it's been down hill since then lol. My point is that our minds can mess us up something fierce if we let it by symptom watching etc. just relax enjoy the lack of vomiting (while it lasts) and just look forward to saturday It is brilliant getting to see babs for the first time. It could just be everything you have done to combat the morning sickness has actually worked to an extent and that's why it has calmed down. Good luck on saturday.0 -

Thumby, I'm with ya on the BH! I didn't really get them on my lat Preg but they're very strong this time and very sore, dispute being told they cause no pain! I really hope your kidney infection eases up soon and you get to move about again! You must be counting the days down now! How come they haven't given you any antibiotics yet?
Yellow Hen, just think of those stretch marks as love lines from your baby
I know personally I moan about the intigestion and random pains but I wouldn't have it any other way! We like you, tried for our little man for a long time and had a lot of sadness along the way, but it was all worth it he's the best baba! This baby was a shock but as the weeks pass I'm looking more and more to meeting him! I'm so glad your Preg is going so well! Are you gonna find out what you're having or keep as a surprise?
Murdy, try not to worry Hun, pregnancy is never by the book and symptoms come and go as you get further along.. I hope everything goes well on Sat & you get to see your little bean x oh and congratulations! 0
