First Pregnancy
Hi
This is my first pregnancy I am 36, I am 6 weeks at moment, but I seem to have backache on and off during the day, I had an implantation bleed which lasted around 4-5days around a week ago, but nothing since. Also I have little twinges on both sides, and around my belly button is this normal?? Also is it ok to have sex still at this early stage. I had a miscarriage back in November, so am worrying a little.
thanks

I'm 33, 13 weeks into 1st pregnancy. We had a scan last week and such a relief to see our sprog!
I had various twinges between pubic bone, hips and belly button from about 5 weeks - they calmed down at about 10 weeks but now they're starting up again as I begin to get a bump. Apparently it's the ligaments supporting the uterus getting used to the changes in size and hormones... completely normal! If it starts being period pain that's different, but I know what you mean about 'twinges' - the word describes it perfectly!
I was worried about sex and orgasming - have to say, I put it on the backburner and just kept OH reasonably happy, if you know what I mean, until about 10 weeks. Until then, I just felt fragile.
Follow what your body's telling you hun - it's normal to worry!

Thanks that has eased my mind, I kept thinking something was wrong, as for sex, I think me and oh will hold off for a while, as I just feel that we should be careful till around 10 -12 weeks or just after I have had first scan. I am awaiting to see my midwife for my booking in, but they have not rung me yet, as this is our first baby I am just unsure what is what.
thanks
