I have some new ones.

Heart palpitations have eased a bit after cutting out caffeine (but not, I repeat not chocolate).
Have been having some bastard headaches, but not seemingly related to anything, and not at consistent times or intervals, although I do often wake up with one.
Thrush. I only seem to get it when I’m pregnant!
Belly button has a ‘bump’ just to the side of it, which can be pushed back in and then it will soon pop back out again, as if it’s a tiny little hernia. I remember this last time I was pg too.
Pains in the tummy which seem to relate to what position the babies are in.
Worse than usual restless legs syndrome, worse if I’m hot, and extending to hands and arms. Not every night thank goodness.


Bumpymum, fully sympathise with the pain when lying on your side. It gets worse as you get bigger (sorry). Hope your sleeping gets better for you. Don’t feel fat & unattractive, enjoy your lovely preggy curves. Get some nice photos of yourself with your bump, b&w works really well. Frustration & irritability could be partly frustrated nesting, if there’s some project hanging around that you can get done it will feel good. Try to do some nice things for yourself. I love to go to bed really early with a glass of milk or sometimes hot milo & watch telly and read. How many weeks are you?
