Twinges ( on ipad I hate this thing!)

JK0412 · June 2011

Hi Ladies,
I havebmy 12 week appointment tomorrow and my NT scan next Tuesday. I am starting to get really nervous for both. Also on my left aide down by my uterus I have bee. Getting this odd left twinge. Do you think I should be worried? Also I am nervous they are not going to look for the hb - we saw at 7 weeks but would really like confirmation. Do you think I should insist, what would you say?

Thamks!

I get twinges every week on one side or the other. It's round ligament pain or "growing pains". It just means your baby is growing Unless it is so severe you cant hardly walk, I really wouldnt think anything of it.

I seriously get these pains every week around the time of me weekly "graduation" like clockwork. The first time I had it I was slightly worried, but then as it became more consistent and I read up on what RPL felt like, the more I realized it was just our LO growing!

As far so the HB goes, my doctor dopplers me at every appointment now, as do most doctors I know of if they dont do an u/s. If it is worrying you, just ask them to do it. Im sure they wont have a problem, it doesnt take long.

All in all, I think your just psyching yourself out. Take it easy and maybe consider getting your own home doppler. It really helped to ease my anxiety when I was able to find my LO's HB whenever I wanted to.

GL!

I get the twinges too once in a while. Like a sharp pain on one side. Like pp said, it is normal.

I would also think it is normal to have the dopplar for hb at every appt? We've had it for our last two appts.

Good luck tomorrow!

I get them at least once a week. SO normal. My doc even told me they may get worse as baby grows bigger but only be concerned if its so horrible I can't walk or move.

Also, my doc dopplers me everytime I go in for a check up. If they can't find the hb on the doppler then I get an u/s.

Twinges are very common, I freaked out at the beginning but now I'm just used to it! Nothing to worry about.

I hated my iPad too!! I sold mine on Ebay. I thought it could replace my laptop, but not even close.

I also get them about once per week, usually around my week change. This week the top of my hip bone on my left side was tender and I felt the pulling/stretching feeling that is common with round ligament pain.

It's totally normal to feel those 'twinges,' so try not to worry about it.

I have been getting these sometimes too, and agree with previous posters that they are more than likely RLP or stretching and growing! All good things!! I also recommend the home doppler because mine gives me so much piece of mind! I went to the OB yesterday for an appointment and they found the baby's heartbeat with a doppler! 160 bpm and sounded great!
