Hi,
I'll be 17 weeks pregnant tomorrow, but I've been really worried recently...
I took a 2.5hr flight on Saturday, and 2.5hrs back yesterday, that may be irrelevant, but I wanted to add it in!
What I'm really worried about is that my bump seems to have stopped growing. This is my 3rd baby, and I was quite big with my second by now. I seemed to have a big grow about 2 weeks ago, but now it almost seems to be "going down" and the sticky out tummy bit that felt hard now feels soft again!!? (I know, it's my uterus, is there any explainable reason why it doesn't feel hard any more though?)
I also thought I was feeling baby's first movements a week ago, but haven't felt anything for the last 3-4 days.
Also, I am in a bit of discomfort, sort of aching in my lower abdomen and sides, but with no bleeding or spotting at all. I am still getting morning sickness too.
I'm extra-worried because I almost miscarried my daughter at 16 weeks due to a haematoma and placenta previa, although I carried to term in the end with medical aid, and I then had an early miscarriage. I am so worried my baby has died, is there anything anyone can suggest!?
Our doctor's surgery is now closed until Monday and I'm worried about going to hospital as they always act like I'm wasting their time. (I already went in to be checked up at 6 weeks because of pains). I have had 2 scans since and everything seemed OK, but now don't have another until the middle of April!!
What would anyone else do in this situation? Should I just wait until Monday? Has anyone else had the same thing / felt like this and everything has been fine?
Thanks so much xx

Hi hun,
Given everything you had said I would go. I had an infection in my womb with my last pregnancy, I'm not suggesting that's what you have, although the aching in the lower abdomen and sides does make me think it's possible. I was very small, and 4 days before I lost her I noticed less movements.
You are probably fine and just worrying as us parent's do, but whenever a pregnant women has a feeling that something just isn't right, I advise them to go into hospital. Fuck what they think – it's their job, and we pay for our medical treatment one way or another don't we!
Good luck hun, I know you will be fine, but you need the reasurance. xxx
