Im 10 wks hav got cramping stretchin feeling on both sides of my womb is this normal

Hi everyone. I am new here and due on 13 November, so am ten weeks along. Had an early scan today and saw my little bean moving around and it's little heart beat. We even saw it lift it's hand up like it was waving at us hehehe! Anyway, I've been experiencing some pains low down in my tummy for a couple of days day. They are quite sharp pains that come and go and I feel a little "heavy" in that area (for want of a better word). Was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same thing??

When my sister in law was pregnant she was self employed and I think she was entitled to SMP (Statutary Maternity Pay) I can't remember how much this is but ask your midwife and she will probably be able to advise you how to apply. Good Luck xx

Hey I'm in my 10th week an I dunno much at the moment. I dunno if illget help or don't know where me and my partner will live. I wanted to sort things ASAP for when baby is here in October. But don't think we will qualify as we both work full time but both self employed so don't get maternity leave? Anyone know what I can do?

im 10+2 with number 3, look like im 4 months gone! Its mad, im pretty slim, size 10 and all of a sudden theres this bump thats that noticable, people are already asking me when im due! I think the feelings some people describe as movements already, could be bowel activity..well thats what my midwife suggests it could be :) Ive never bled, had morning sickness or felt as poorly as i have done this time, thankfully all three seem to have tailed off now. Feeling very anxious now about consultant app, which is where i should find out if i should need a c-section or not, after having retained placenta with last 2 children.. very nervous!! :o/

I'm 10 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby & feel a bit of cramping but I've been told this is normal & lots of websites also say its normal. I may sound silly but I'm sure I can feel baby moving sometimes, obviously by having 2 other children I know what it feels like, does anyone else experience the same feeling? Also I feel like I'm showing abit too (is this normal for being pregnant for a 3rd time

hey there i was the same as you i am ten weeks also and i had some bleeding and i had a scan to show that all is well, you being worried is so normal!! you can bleed still while being pregnant right up to the birth so iam told as long as there are not cloats and no cramping with it then you can put your mind at rest :)

Hello Jay! Good idea you coming on here! And asking. All I can really say is dont push her about, meaning don't go too far with the things she can't carry etc etc .. And try not to go OTT, she isn't I'll! My other half is having that issue same with my sister they claim a bag of teabags are too heavy! And try not to it's hard but TRY not to put your foot in it ... You need to be very very supportive and watch carefully what you say! Haha! It's very easy for a woman with child to be get " annoyed" easily! She can't help it it's just .. Can't help it. Lol! As for scared, yes it's not easy the first 3 months. I've just got past my pregnancy annaversairy of my last miss carrige and I'm Still scared, but get her to RELAX! Stress is the LAST thing she needs! Talk to your doctors .. I've got 3 weeks to go untill I'm " safe" sort of ... Just also make sure she gets the multi vitamins ... Folic acid omega 3 blah blah blah you can get the whole lot in a box at a main shopping chain! Because that help not only her but the bump buddie too! I swear if I didn't take them my Leo wouldn't be as perfect as he is now! Just remember Jay! For the next 8-9 months ... The woman Is always right ;) and don't think your winning a huff you've no chance! Hahaha hahaha ! All will be ok, just remember think carefully before words come out, and think of how she will take it. We're so touchy! Lol! And just console her be there .. 1000% she needs to feel safe & wanted because she is going to change! Keep strong! Only 8-9 months! Then ... That's when the fun starts! Tvgc x

Hi everyone, i found out 2 weeks ago that i was pregnant and around 10 weeks now. I am so worried that when i go to the scan there wont be a heartbeat, i have read this can be a normal feeling. im not feeling as sick now, am getting heartburn at night and get a crampy feeling in my womb...think this is growing pains. is this all normal?
