    Question I know I'm just a worry wort!!!...but

    Hiya,

    Just need a little reasurance ladies, I'm 13wks 2 days according to my first scan (14 wks 1 day according to the scan I had last monday). I have had tummy gripes for the last four days with diareha SP? easing a little now but as it's coinciding with my MS easing and having sore glands on one side of my neck I'm starting to worry that it might have been something serious.
    My other pregnancies have been so long ago I can't remember if this is normal and just a little tummy bug it's like being pregnant for the first time again.

    Tummy bugs can be just that can't they? it doesnt have to be salmonella or listeria does it?
    I know I'm just being a worry wort but its all I seem to do lately.
    Oh and can anyone tell me when the 2nd trimester starts, we used to think it was 12 weeks but I have heard thats incorrect and it's later?
    Thanks for listening, cheers Missy

    Hi Missy

    Yeah tummy upsets could be from anything, your tummy could just be irritated from something you've eaten. And from what I know, glands in the neck usually relate to something in that general area, ie, sore throat or ear. But your gp is the best person to tell you just to ease your mind.

    2nd trimester starts from 13th week.

    Cheers and hope you're feeling better

    Thanks for that Jo,

    My ears have been playing up so perhaps I'll get them checked although my glands are much better today as is my tummy.
    Thanks again

    It sounds like you have come down with something. We're due around the same time (my EDD changed according to my u/s too, but I'm sticking with the latest possible date!) and I have just come down with bronchitis and am feeling shocking. Maybe it's because our placentas have now taken over and our bodies don't want us to get off lightly LOL!

    I hope you continue to feel better .
