Glad to hear all of your scans went well!! It definitely gives me hope!

I'm not having too many symptoms these days, which is making be a bit nervous. I'm waiting for my second blood test results but my doctor's office is closed today.

My scan is not until the 11th. FX!

Was shopping with a friend this morning and felt a massive gush. Rushed to the toilet and it was blood, bright red. Rushed to buy some new knickers and bottoms to change into. While waiting to pay I could feel it running out of me. At this point I was so scared. My friend called the nurse who scanned me yesterday who said come straight in and she would rescan me within an hour. She found the heart beat instantly but more worryingly found a big bleed near baby which is around the size of the sac. She did an internal scan after as she thought it could be a second scan or a bleed attached to sac. It is seperate and defiantly blood. She asked if I wanted to be admitted but my husband works away and I have 2 children to look after, she said all they could do is monitor my pads every hour but other than that there is nothing they can do. She has said it's basically 50/50 at the minute but baby looks like its hanging in there for now. I have another scan booked for a week on Friday but if I bleed, have any clots or pain I have to call an ambulance or get there as soon as I can. No more gushes for about 5 hours just pink when I wipe now, so scared x

Good news here too!! We have a bean with a heartbeat & measuring exactly 7 weeks!! So happy. She said I had some bruising at the side of the sac which probably caused the spotting, she also said I might spot again. Been discharged now from epau, so got a long 5 week wait to my next scan.

Congrats vixie & hur xx

Great news! So pleaed for you We both have that long wait now until 12 weeks, hope time flies

I have been laid with my feet up all afternoon at my sisters. She collected my kids from school, cooked their tea all I had to do was bring them home and get them ready for bed. She is coming to do my cleaning tomorrow so I don't have to move too much. Thank you hun xx

 

[baby1wanted]

Oh vixie hope everything is going to be ok for you. Do as little as you possibly can and we're thinking of you

 

[vixie27]

So bled again last night. They managed to get me in for an emergency scan within an hour again today. Baby is still looking fine, measuring and growing at it should, the bleed is a little bigger today but I'm not actually bleeding anymore. Nurse described it as a ticking time bomb...........when it goes off I will know about it. She can't say what risk of any it has to baby as she just doesn't know herself. She said she has seen people with the tiniest uterine bleed misscarry but has seen people with bleeds bigger than mine be fine. She described it as moderate so not the worst. I don't have a scan till a week Friday now but hopefully by then the bleed has got small not bigger x

So sorry your having to go through this vixie. Seems you have a very sticky one though. Hang in there xx

How worrying Vixie, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything turns out ok for you xx

 

[vixie27]

Thanks ladies. I had a good day/night yesterday bleeding seems to have stopped now and I'm not having any pain. Reassured me seeing heartbeat 3 days in a row. Baby was measuring 20mm yesterday and has grown 3mm since Monday, nice fast heartbeat. 8 days to wait till my next scan will be the longest wait lol. Can't wait
to see my baby again. I'm hoping the bleed is smaller when we go back as my fear is if it keeps growing it might put pressure on the sac and cause it to burst and make me misscarry

 

[Katiie]

Hi, just checking in to see how everyone is doing? I'm still feeling rubbish, nauseous and have no energy. I had my booking in appointment today and have my scan date now for the 22nd. I have also been told I will be under consultant care as my age (40) makes me high risk!

Same here - nauseous and just want to sleep. Bleuugh. Hope you start to come out the other side soon x

I had my midwife appt today and I am to be consultant led as well due to recurrent miscarriages. I guess it's a positive thing as we will be looked after more closely and get any extra care we need. She did mention my age too (I am 36 and still consider myself a spring chicken!!).

 

[ktc82]

Hi ladies.. pretty much the same here, nauseous to hell!! Having to eat every hour. Food aversions driving me crackers. Had cheese n tomato sandwich for dinner & tea today because I don't fancy anything. I'm not complaining mind lol!! Glad your both going to be closely looked after 10 days till my booking in app. xx

 

[cb1]

That's weird ktc - all I wanted for lunch was a cheese and tomato sandwich, that's one of my main cravings at the moment!

Hinky my mw didn't seem concerned with my previous losses, I'm not sure why, it could be that the tests I've had so far haven't given a reason. Have you had any testing, and are you doing anything differently this time?

 

[vixie27]

I'm so nauseous it's unreal......feeling sick all day everyday!! My craving English ladies with kids will know what I'm on about lol spicy tomato snaps......yes the kids crisps with a crocodile on the pack I can't get enough of them. They are the only thing to stop me feeling sick but my supply has run out, kids r in bed so no more till the morning other than that doing great x
