    as far as i know sharp pains arent associated with miscarriage (i could be wrong though) they are more likely to do with the round ligaments. i had these when i was moving from sitting down to standing up and rolling over in bed etc. its from them stretching and the hormones while pregnant.

    i also had some period cramping but it was not extreme, just the mild feeling you get a few days before your period is due.

    hope everything is alright, try to relax (hard i know) but try and think positively!

    I'm not sure about your cramping, but I had similar pain to what you were describing. A few times it would wake me up at night and make me double over.

    My OB said that was my ligaments stretching and changing with the baby.

    This is also my first baby and I'm just learning to go with the flow. There are so many weird and wonderful things happening to my body.

    Its hard to say what is normal and what is not because everyone and every pregnancy is different.

    I have had dull achy cramps like the lead up to my period all through this pregnancy, and have had stitches and stabbing pains that is associated with the ligaments stretching.

    That said, I had really bad period type pains (like when your doubled over) with my pregnancy with Nikita for a few days and had no idea that I was in labour until I lost my muccus plug and had a show.

    My miscarriages I had no idea until I was bleeding that I had Miscarried but then they were early miscarriages in the first trimester. I had terrible cramping pain going through those.

    You have an appointment with your Dr so thats good, Its very hard but try to not worry about things. If you have ANY bleeding before your appointment then get to your hospital or Dr if they work on weekends.

    Best of luck hun

    So glad everything's looking good hun. Lack of movement isn't a major problem I don't think, except that it can make it hard for the sonographer to get a good look - my bubs slept through our 18 week scan and it took caffeine and me running up and down stairs to get her to move even a tiny bit!

    I can't remember what 'normal' heart range is, but from what I remember, it is faster when they're really tiny and then it slows down a bit. Hopefully someone will come by who knows more about it.

    Have you had a chance to talk to an Ob, GP or midwife about what you've been experiencing and what the scan shows?

    Hope you're feeling a little better. Try not to worry too much. Big hugs to you.
