Hi, its understandable that your worried, and with added stress of an ill little one its not easy (I have a 15 month old and im 37 weeks) I'm sure it may be nothing to worry about as you feel all kinds of niggles during preg and this may be just that. But you are advised if you have abdominal pain to contact your midwife for advice, I understand that fear of what you might be told is playing on your mind but likewise, the ongoing worry you have re: not knowing if there is a problem may be worse. I think the only option you have is to contact your midwife and explain whats happened, see what she says then decide on the basis of what she says, exactly what you want to do about it. Im guessin you have your 12 weeks scan soon, although I wouldnt leave it until then, you really need to act now, if for no other reason than to put your mind at rest. Ive had a few tummy pains i.e with loose stools etc but everythin has been fine, and i msure its fine for you but you really need to make that call, so that you and baby can get checked over. xxxx I hope everythin is ok for you, Vicky
