Hi everyone,

I'm 4 weeks 2 days pregnant (and very excited!) and have been experiencing period-type cramps since 2 days before I found out (I found out at 3 weeks 5 days). This I know is normal as it's mainly relating to implantation however in the last 2 days I have been getting really sharp stabbing pains on the left-hand side of my uterus. They only last a second at best and come and go throughout the day.

The almost make me jump because they come from no where and then they're gone again. If I had it on both sides I wouldn't worry so much but I'm paranoid it's an ectopic pregnancy.

I've read on many websites that a lot of women have had these pains and they have put it down to ligaments stretching, however they're all in early stages of pregnancy and not one of them is someone who has a baby who has said "Don't worry - I had that in all 12 of my pregnancies and my babies are perfect and healthy". Can someone please help me out here?!

Desperate to know that baby is okay, it is very much wanted and I hate the thought of having to wait 8 weeks to find out if he or she is healthy.

Thanks so much x

I have had a female rabbit for 18 months. 4 weeks ago we rescued a one year old male rex. He was Vaccinated for myxi and vhd 2 weeks apart and vet checked. His diet remained the same, Burgess Excel nuggets, hay and veg. Both rabbits live inside. I let both into the garden yesterday morning as normal. The make rabbit doesn't like coming in and we went out about 8pm to usher him in and found him dead, on his back with his legs in the air. He was fine in the morning and has no injuries. My female is fine. Any ideas to out our minds at rest as we are very upset to have lost him.

Let's start this right - I'm a worrier. I panic about everything, from losing my family, to not losing weight quick enough and thinking an ear infection is a sign of cancer, so I know I'm probably being stupid. Anyway.

I have been with my partner for 3 years. We got bought a house together and got engaged a year ago. We had our ups and downs, because he didn't clean enough and the normal household rows.

We accidentally got pregnant a few months ago and the pregnancy ended. Since then, i have been completely off sex. I'm worried about getting pregnant again and only do it because I know we should. Sex has always been really important to me to feel close to my partner and because we aren't doing it much anymore, I feel we're missing something.

I'm worried that crazy in love feeling won't ever come back (I go through stages of being all loved up to just feeling normal to not being all that into it) and I really want to be back to that crazy stage. My friend got married recently and she was literally glowing the whole day and I'm worried I won't be like that.

am I doing the right thing getting married? And how can I get back what I feel I've lost?

Thanks to everyone who replies

Hi there,

I know that wedding gift requests are a bone of contention, especially when people ask for money.

Me and my partner will have been living together for over 2 years before we get married, and I don't like the idea of vouchers because then we're limited to one place. What we really want is the money for doing up our next house (which we won't be purchasing for another few years) or for our future children (again, another few years). SO I have come up with the wording below. Please be honest if you think it's offensive. Also, there is a line about children - I was only going to send it to those with kids but I think maybe now that's a little rude? But if I send it to those without kids, then it's pointless?! Please help me with that too. okay, wording is:

"We regret that unfortunately due to numbers, children cannot be accomodated"

"There will be a wishing well provided during the evening reception for any cards or gifts you choose to provide. Please note there is not a gift list as we havfe lived together for a number of years and the only presents we require is your presence! Thank you for celebrating this special day with us."

Thanks everyone!

I woke up saturday morning with severe cramping in my abdomen which lasted around 3 hours. At 8am I got up and passed very loose stools. The cramping and loose stools continued all day, and in the evening I was in a state of fever, tired, with a huge headache. I dozed off an on until 3am then went up to bed. I woke up this morning after sweating all night again with chronic loose stools, changing to just water this morning.

I noticed that I have managed to give myself haemorrhoid's and it is huge, and very painful. I do have some cream for this.

I tried to eat today and am now passing undigested food and water, however the fever appears to have gone as has the headache, it's just the diarrhea and haemorrhoid's.

Has anybody had something similar recently and knows how long it lasts for? I will be seeing the doctor tomorrow for the haemorrhoid's.

Any advice gratefully accepted, thank you
