hiya. last night i got a really bad pain in my lower right hand abdomen right next to my leg. it was shooting down my leg and i was crying from the pain as it lasted a good 10 mins before it went away. the only way i could get rid of it was to stick my butt up in the air and put my arms on the bed and rock. it has really scared me and i dont want to ring my midwife cos she is a total b***h and told me to stop bein so stupid when i rang her about the fact that i hadnt kept food down for 3 days and water for a day. i took myself down to hosp and put in a complaint but i cant switch midwifes or docs. this pain has really freaked me. please does anyone have a clue what it is? baby is fine as hes bootin me as we speak lol.

maybe call the hospital and ask what they say. I dont think you always always have to see your midwife.
And thats so terrible what she did to you. I want to switch doctors too but its just too late for that.
I would say that its sciatic nerve, a lot of people feel it down their leg or in the buttom, I know I do.
Just try not to worry too much, maybe ring the hospital and try a warm bath.
Feel better!

I'm not sure what the pain was, but it seems all is well since your little one is moving.

Why can't you switch doctors or midwives? You should go to the hospital and insist that you see someone else. It is not right that you can not ask your health care provider a simple question!

well im back finally lol. have been at the hospital for 7 hours!!! but the best thing is they have stopped me from seeing my midwife and im going to be consultant led from now on which is a relief. the great news is the pain isnt early labour and the bad news is that they havent got a clue what it is!! they think possibly appendicitus but its apparently really hard to diagnose and iv been sent home for the minute until the pain gets worse of i go off my food or start throwin up.............. the list is endless!!! they are on about puttin me on an iron transfusion cos my iron levels have gone from 9.8 to 8.6 in less than 2 weeks and they are pretty worried about it. but i knew that was going to happen anyway lol. baby is fine lol he was booting the nurses hands all day lol. thanks everyone. it was nice to know that id have a few supportive messages waiting for me when i eventually got home.

I'm so glad you don't have to see that wretched midwife anymore. Sorry that no one quite knows what the pain is from.

Way to go little guy! Keep at those nurses (but be nice to your mommy). Glad you are growing big and strong.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
