    Well if you have any questions and you think you will forget them before your next appointment write them down and take it with you when you go that way you wont forget because you often get in there, get carried away talking about other stuff and doing BP checks etc that you walk out of there and think crap! I forgot to ask about that

    :yeahthat:

    absolutely write yourself a list of things you want to ask. And remember that there is absolutely nothing that you could possibly ask that they haven't heard a thousand times before.

    As for what it could be - not sure - but at 15 weeks bubs is sort of like a goldfish in one of those plastic bags that you take home from the pet shop. They can bounce against the edge of the bag and you may feel it but it shouldn't be causing pain.

    Yeah I agree about writing a list. It may sound like a silly question, but like Muppity said it's honestly nothing they haven't heard before. If I learnt anything from my birth with Ava almost 2 years ago, its ask ask ask. QUestion everything and anything you want to. And also do some of your own research too kwim..

    You reallllly shouldn't be embarassed about asking your doctor anything - he / she will be peering UP your 'hoo haa' in a few months, so asking a question about a pain in your cervix is nothing. I agree with others who say to keep a list - i have a list on my iPhone that I keep adding to in the month between appointments... Even silly little things, like I've noticed that my temperature is a full degree elevated, and has been for 2 months. I know it's probably normal, but it's always best to get some reassurance

    why are you uncomfortable to ask the question? Maybe you could consider a change of care provider, to one you can ask any questions without flinching? It's really important to be open and comfortable with your cp
