I've worried about something or other since I found out 15 weeks ago! I'm hoping after my 20 week scan I can chill out but I doubt it lol x

Back again!!
I'd been sitting upright on the settee but with my legs to the side of me. I'm a dizzy person anyway but it seems to have come back these past two days to the point where I can't stand for longer than five minutes. It's not happened in bed yet and I wake up on my back often then turn back onto my side. X

Sorry to say ladies the worry doesn't stop!! I thought after 12 weeks the worry would ho. Nope!! Then after the 20 weeks when they check everything growing as it should etc... Nope!! Unfortunately I think the worry I'd here is to stay n will just get worse with time!! I mean... We all know what's waiting in the big bad world...

I had the cramping too - can't remember when they stopped but it was well into the second trimester. And now in these last few weeks I have it again!
With the dizziness thing, that makes sense Susie, I think it was the fact that I was slouched that made me go funny the other day. I really struggle to find a comfy position to sit in and slouched in the sofa is my best one annoyingly. :/ I feel funny if I lie on my back for too long as well but before I start feeling odd I get the pelvic pain which soon makes me turn over!

Not a question but just something I discovered today - it's well worth getting measured up for a bra if you've not done already! I though my boobs hadn't changed much during pregnancy, how wrong was I? Turns out I'm two cup sizes bigger! Now I have my lovely comfy new nursing bra on I'n realising that my old ones were massively too small and that the stretch had gone and they weren't very supportive at all. I had to spend a few quid getting some decent bras but my eBay money paid for it and I'm glad I did. My boobs have never been happier! 
Even if you get measured and don't buy anything straight away it's well worth doing so at least you know what to look for and they measure a bit different for maternity/nursing bras so you might not be the size you think. xxx

Then it seemed to come and go depending on baby's growth spurts from then until about 23 weeks. It's also come back the last couple of weeks (25 and 26 weeks) but i can tell baby has grown so i guess it's everything stretching etc....it's also worse when baby is kicking low down.

Hmm i am wondering if i need to get measured again, my bras (already 2 cup sizes bigger!) are starting to feel like they are digging in under my boobs. Thanks for the advice i will try and get somewhere to get properly measured...better to be comfortable!

Am 31 weeks and pressure down below. It feels like baby is head butting me in the privates. It's way too early to be engaged. Maybe stretching? Anyone else had this?

Bring on the weight loss!
I keep feeling pressure 'down there' but having only gone to the hospital the other day I know he's still not engaged. I guess maybe its just because baby is bigger?
When I get that pressure down there I proper waddle lol and i feel heavier and more uncomfortable

Is there anything on the Which? website? I would try there first. I would have thought it was though, they're pretty strict safety wise with anything for babies and a big company like mothercare definitely would be xxx

Danni have a look at the which website, they usually have reviews etc. however, I would be very surprised if mothercare isn't up to standard-I'm sure that's what Prince George went home in so you should be fine! I'm sure if you ask in store they can let you see all the details.
Pj it's likely to be the position of baby and it will probably improve once he/she moves! If their head is at a funny angle and pushing on a nerve it can be quite uncomfy! Maybe have a bounce on a ball if you have one-might help!

I was getting that to an extent before baby engaged so could be your babies getting ready? Plus they're pretty big by now and it was post 30 weeks that I started to feel really massive, sore and unwieldy. Once baby did start to engage I was getting period pain under my bump and pressure in my bum. It's v sore!

I get the 'period pains' (thats the only way I can describe them) and was wondering if thats just stretching which is what Ive presumed it is but then at one point i was wondering if it was BH. But then I realised my bump doesnt tighten so cant be.....meh!
Im not sure Ive had any BH....not that Ive felt anyways!

That's how I felt today. I was waddling rather than walking. Was expecting that but not at 31 weeks!

Thanks, will have a bounce on the ball indeed. I did wonder if baby was pushing against a nerve. It's not really painful, just weird pressure feeling x

For me BH don't hurt - they just feel tight and uncomfortable, right across the middle of my bump. I know some people find BH to be sore though. The period pain thing I get right at the bottom, it's hard for me to tell sometimes as it's where I get the majority of my SPD pain too but it came on again around the time I started feeling him bashing against my hip bone and I knew he was heading down at that point so I put it down to the extra pressure.
