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!

iv rang the hospital and they have told me to go in and get checked out. im not too worried still cos baby is still booting the hell out of me but im startin to feel sick and i have to wait for my partner to get home cos im scared poohless of hospitals!! grrrr i hate his boss!! i am scared its early labour but they can try and stop it and at 24 weeks there is still a chance i can deliver and the baby will live. oh god i hope so. i will let u all know whats going on when i get home. thanks sandra. i would have just put up with it if u hadnt have sed to ring hosp the idiot that i am!!

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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
