Hi all,

Just a little advice if anyone can offer? 2 things have happened today and I’m just a little concerned

1. I woke up and I was getting like intermittent sharp pains in my lower left abdomen, they didn’t go after a good few hours so I rang the clinic and they said to take paracetamol and to ring back if that didn’t help.

The paracetamol did help- but now it’s coming to the end of 4 hours since I took it, so I’m wondering if the pain comes back should I ring back or just take more? The pain was bad but my concern wasn’t really to get it to go, more to be reassured everything is okay (which I’m sure it is if that’s all they advised!)

2. I’ve had lots and lots of flutters over the last 3 weeks or so, I realise that’s quite early but it’s definitely been happening. It’s lessened over the last couple of days and I don’t know if it’s too early to flag? They do say to ring at any change in movement but as I’m only 19 weeks i know the slow down could be down to anything… baby has said hello a few times over the last couple of days but definitely not as chatty as they have been!

I know that they are there to advise you but I just want to see what others might do in this situation!
