Dear Kate,

I hope everything went well at Dr's and you've got your u/s slip. If it helps, at about your stage, I had a night of 10 hours persistent lower left side ab discomfort/pain (but not cramps IYKWIM), the pain at times radiated through to my back. By the morning I was in tears. While I knew it wasn't cramps per se, I was still terribly scared that something was wrong. In my case, a heat pack helped, and in the end, the pain just disappeared!!! Consensus has been from medicos/osteo that it was a muscle spasm/spastic intestine kind of thing. Also, i was NOT constipated or having those kinda issues at the time. All I know is that I wasn't a happy camper! But now we're past 20 weeks and bubs is just fine.

So I hope that this is all you are experiencing, and that your lil' bubba is just scaring you again (mine is already grounded for at least 12 mths after the scares he's put us through!). Sending you big . I know even when I passed my previous m/c milestone, it didn't mean all my fears/worries had magically gone (wish they had tho!)

I'm gonna send you big good luck vibes. And since you're having something so similar to what i felt, I'll be your good luck charm (yes, self-appointed!).

Cheers,
Belfie
