2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[Babee_Bugs]

I must say I've had nothing but good experiences with the NHS, I suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm (I never knew I had it), I just turned 23...

There whipped me to a&e tried everything to make the pain stop, took me for MRI and found the bleed... Blue lighted me to a local specialist brain hospital and within hours I was in theatre where about 20 doctors and nurses where they to help me, and they even rang through to America for a second opinion! The aftercare I've had since my brain injury is faultless, I've had lots of MRI's, psychologists, therapy etc...

With all my pregnancies I've been very well looked after, before and after my brain injury.

I'm not a fan of GP's though, I took my oldest soon to the doctors when he was 1 year old, he had a chesty cough, temp etc... I was told it was a cold... 4 hours later I was on the phone to 999 because he could hardly breathe and was turning blue... Turned out he had pneumonia, now if my children are poorly I go straight to a&e, as I know there is doctors and peadiatric doctors.

I'm STILL having brownish blood... it started at 5 weeks. It's frustrating because I want to be more active but am not supposed to.

Oh, and I really miss

Me too! It needs to happen soon too because DH and I get real snappy when there's not any action going on. 1 more week and then check with the dr and we should be good to go.

And the hip pain! YES! I completely understand that... just do a different position. Upside down cowgirl, spooning, side of the bed, scissors, doggy style (be careful with this one, it can cause some pelvic discomfort after). You don't have to spread eagle.

Omg I'm missing too but am slightly worried to try even though everything seems fine!! Dammit so many worries in 1st tri!

 

[Aliop]

So glad to read your bleeding has stopped Rhi, hope everything remains well and bub is happy in there for you to see on Sunday

 

[GingerPanda]

I bled on my first and he is a healthy 10 year old. The ironic thing is I never bled a drop on my 2 miscarriages until after it was picked up on scan.

I also never had any bleeding on my MMC. Not a drop.

Same here for either of mine. First one I had to have a D&C, second they gave me misoprostol. My body won't let go on its own.


Sending hugs to any ladies with bleeding or spotting!



Maybe TMI, but I've been 13 days without a proper BM. Doctor told me to go get some Dulcolax suppositories. Thankfully, they seem to be working! I look like I'm full term! Hubs says, "I always knew you were full of shit, but now you really are!"

 

[Dark_Star]

GingerPanda I hope you smacked him!

I've been having breakthrough bleeding this pregnancy (the 3 day bleed at 4 weeks I thought was a chemical, and just had a 1 day bleed and 2 days of spotting) so I started researching bleeding in pregnancy (I knew it was common from having a bleed due to SCH at 14 weeks with my DD2) but was pretty surprised to learn that approximately 25% of women bleed in pregnancy, and about half have successful pregnancies and healthy babies. Which also means about half of miscarriages are diagnosed without any bleeding.

 

[GingerPanda]

No, that's just how we joke with each other. We say mean things with a smile because they're funny, but we don't mean them. He calls me "butthead", and I usually call him "harlot" or something. We'll have to stop once little one gets here, though!

 

[cheree89]

Oh my GP, if I miss even 1 day, I am miserable and complaining. I can't imagine not going for 13 days!

 

[Serenjay]

I love microlax

 

[Dark_Star]

I mix all-bran into yogurt and berries and also drink smoothies with spinach, flax, and berries in them. Neither of these food items are particularly exciting, but they do the trick.

I'm having some weird sadness about my scans. There were 3 sacs at my first ultrasound (natural pregnancy) but only 2 had developed into babies at my second scan.
I know that my risks would be greatly increased with 3 babies, and I feel like I am being silly because I have 2 healthy little ones in there.
But still, one of my babies didn't make it, and I'm sad about that.

 

[Serenjay]

That would be understandable, it is sad...

My middle daughter was a twin, I lost the other one at 6 weeks and had to be on bed rest until I was 19 weeks pregnant with her in hospital. It is sad.. x

 

[tallybee]

Aw it is sad xx

 

[tallybee]

On another note ladies I'm no longer constipated... Yikes. Must have a bug or something, not straying far from toilet today

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

lmao tally!! well better out than in ahah.

Day 2 of the bleeding saga... going to try my gp office again when i get home from school run. See if i can have a midwife call me back. being nearly 11 weeks i think i should have one to be honest. So gonna see if they even bothered to put my details through

 

[Babylove100]

Sorry your still going through this Rhi. Def get on to the go today! Good luck!!

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Oh no rhi I would Deffo be on the phone, your right you should have someone caring for you!!!

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Morning ladies, I feel strange!!! 2 nights in a row I've had the most vivid dream possible and they weren't pregnancy related... I feel shook up I can't wait for 1st tri to be over with

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I rang, they HAD forgotten about me.. I can't remember who said that they had (sorry) but you were right ! haha.

The woman was ever so apologetic said that someone should have been in touch ages ago. She has put me down in the midwifes books and a Gp is going to ring me today to talk about my bleeding.

It's still light. not sure if could even be called bleeding. It's brown discharge really (sorry) with very occasional specks of red. I wore white panties yesterday without any sort of liner or pad (because i didn't have any) and my panties are still white! Sorry to be so descriptive but it's the easiest way of explaining how light it is! It is literally just when i wipe.

However I have no good feelings about this... really on edge. I feel like i am just waiting. Tick tock. I'm stuck between trying to be hopeful and desperate for it to just be over with.
