[sarahuk]

Thats great news Piya!! We shall all hit the double figures soon!!

How are all my ladies doing today?

Charmed: your O/h is sooo right. This pregnancy is only going to happen to you once 12wks is almost 1/3 of your entire pregnancy. I know its easier said than done but...enjoy! Everything will be fine and youll be seeing that soon enough! xxx

 

[lpjkp]

Wow pita, that's fantastic news! You have the same due date as me going by our ultrasounds I think 10 weeks will be here before we know it!

Today I feel pretty great in comparison to the last couple of weeks...my little bit of spotting died down and is completely back to normal, so I do just think it was an irritated cervix from the intercourse...I have a bit of a sore belly though to touch,almost like I pulled my muscles,so I guess my body is making more room for baby? Was a little worried about lack of symptoms this morning but sore boobs and nausea is back...never thought I'd be so happy!

Hope everyone else is doing great! Midwife appointments and 12 week u/s aren't too far away for us now! I have midwife in 11 days and 12 week u/s in 25 days...eek!

Ps love that ticker look like a baby and I'm an olive now!

 

[charmed]

Ladies I'm so scared. When I wiped last night there was two pin head dots of piny red blood. Only tiny. I had a good clean with a wipe and sore pushed finger inside tmi! And just white discharge. Had few cramps and so far there hasn't been any more. Its scared me to death and just sat cryin thinkin worst last night. My boobs still a little sore n burpin but that's it. Just wanna know if it ok. Shoulder still sore I'm 99% sure its just the tension as feels all knottin down side and neck but can't help but worry incase means something more. This had been my first sighting of any blood since my implant bleed which was about4-5 weeks ago, that was heavier that this and it was such a tiny amount about size of top of a pen nip. What should I do. I've got to work today xx

Charmed: first thing is first, think positively! You don't want to be doing your baby any harm by stressing out!
I can only offer you my opinion and my experience, but I hope it makes you feel a little better...about a week and a half ago, I freaked out because I had two tiny dots of bright red blood, and was convinced that was the end. I checked my cm and it seemed normal and white so I was extremely confused and got my dh to have a good check down there to try and work out what was going on...it turned out I'd irritated down there from constantly wiping every time I went to the toilet (I'd been obsessed with making sure there was no blood everytime!) and given myself a graze which then bled a bit when I'd wiped, hence the blood. I'm not saying its the same in your situation, but I am saying that if your cm seems normal and white, there's every possibility that those two tiny drops of blood have come from somewhere else, which could turn out as stupid a place as mine!
I also had a bit of spotting the other night (which I'm nw sure was from intercourse) along with a bit of cramping...I know how it feels to prepare for the worst, because yesterday I had next to no morning sickness and my boobs werent half as sore as I was used to...just think though, if you hadn't seen that blood, would you be thinking the worst or would you just be thanking god that you were having a good day? Turns out for me it was just a good day because I'm back to heaving and having sore boobs today!

My advice (and I know I've already typed a lot!) is to take a deep breath and think positively! I've been having cramps lately (not painful, just uncomfortable like my muscles are pulled in my tummy) and I've read that, at 8 weeks, it's entirely normal to be getting some cramps because the uterus is working all out to stretch and make room for baby! I felt a bit silly contacting my midwife yesterday, but she said as long as your not doubled over in pain or bleeding heavily, chances are baby is just fine! Just try and remember that spotting can be entirely normal and baby is loving all that extra blood supply we are giving it! Hope that helps huni x

 

[charmed]

Thanks for the advise, wish didn't look so hard lol. Should really achey and sore. Think If was ectopic pain in shoulder I'd have heavy bleed and v pain so dunno. Do u think I'd be able to get a scan if called midwife?? X

 

[lpjkp]

I doubt its ectopic hun because you've got past that 6 week stage no problem...why not phone the EPU at the local hospital and play on it a little to get a reassurance scan?x in sure everything is fine though!x

 

[charmed]

Yea we have to get referred in norwich can't just turn up so maybe call midwife later as at work x

Yeah honey the appointments are all coming around fast!!

Yep that pain sounds exactly like what I had a few days back. Even when I gently prodded my tummy my muscles would scream back at me. Guess we are making room!

I worried about the lack of symptoms too because id been feeling much better. The scan did ease my mind but I was still wondering if the sickness etc would come back. Then first thing I did this morning when I rolled out of bed was run for the toilet and lol. Guess we will have good days and bad days xx

Dont worry chick. Theres a lot going down there atm and its normal to have a bit of spotting. Im sure its absolutey nothing to worry about.

Dont worry about the neck and shoulder pain. Ectopic pain with a shoulder is very specific and you get that pain come on fast and when it does, if it was ectopic there would be a whole lot more symptoms going on because the pain is caused by a ruptured tube and internal bleeding.

Ectopics are picked up around the 6wk mark. You would not get to 9wks with an ectopic without having been doubled over in severe pain and most likely collapsing.

I think the pain is from the phone like you say. And I reckon the blood is caused by the stretching and stuff. Plus, the sonographer told me after my scan with my bleed to not go internal to look for blood because even our fingers can cause a bleed because theres so much blood down there.

Relax honey Baby is going to be fine when you have the scan xxxx

Sarahuk: it's awful isn't it that we hate feeling nauseous yet, when we feel nearly human and should be enjoying the break from ms, we worry instead that things aren't right and wish for it back?!

I'm having a "good" day today so far...only mild nausea when I woke up,heaving and a measly half vomit (never realised that can happen but, yep, happened to me!) but it's died down and I feel a little bit more functional today! Boobs are still sore though so that reassures me for today!

Maybe things start evening themselves out around the 8 week mark? My nausea around 6/7 weeks was constant and unbearable and it's a lot more sporadic now...my cramps disappeared overnight though, so I feel much more at ease that baby seems to be giving me a break for the day...I'm still kind of hoping it all comes back though to keep reassuring me...gosh, these ultrasounds seem forever away,I want to see baby!x

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Isn't it funny how fast time has flew in, most of you ladies are almost 3/4 finished first tri! Wooooo xx

 

[charmed]

Thank you so much sarah ur a life sent, so just relax don't call midwife unless bleed again? Just hate think something wrong and just gonna take ages to start to mc or something and yest was a warning, if I had scan I'd see its ok, but don't wanna lie and make worse than is incase that temps fate x

 

[piya]

dont stress about spotting, few ladies its normal.. only thing doc advised was lie down and keep ur legs on pillow.. get progesterone levels checked.. sometimes low progesterone causes spotting.. please friend dont worry..

 

[charmed]

Thanks hard not to freak bEen loo and still othing, maybe I'm over reaccting I just want see baby in there ok, don't know what too do

Haha so true!! We are never happy are we? We feel so shitty when sick, and so anxious when we are normal!

Ohhh explain this half vomit to me! Ive defo had the full ones lol. This morning I was peeing on the toilet and puking into the sink at the same time...it was mayhem!!

I think something does change. I had it really bad till 8wks and then Ive had somewhat of a break, and now its back again tho. Youll be back to puking in no time just you wait lol. xxx

Its amazing how fast it goes isnt it? My mum was saying to me today that theres still ages away...then I told her I had told her about the pregnancy 5 and a half weeks ago and she was like "what the hell...thats gone so quick!!"...indeed...Somehow I think the weeks will be upon us all in no time and we will be talking about mucus plug shows and braxton hicks!! z

I know youre worried honey. Its that maternal instinct kicking in! I definitely think that the blood you had was nothing at all to be concerned about. They told me at the early pregnancy unit that they are only concerned with heavy bright red bleeds. Sounds like yours was more of a spotting type, and they told me that spotting is very normal during pregnancy and most of the time they cant find any particular reason for it There are so many blood vessels now pumped with blood..even a sneeze could pop one!

And..with the absence of any strong cramping and a substantial spot/bleed..they will probably tell you to just keep on as you are honeybun.

Youre almost there now darling Not long till the scan! But try not to worry yourself sick sweetie. EVerything so far has been fine so theres absolutely no reason to think that something will be wrong with your little Rainbow. Everthing is pointing towards a happy and healthy pregnancy going on

xxx

 

[sarahuk]

We all overreact when we have a longed for pregnancy We just want to protect it and make sure all is ok

If it eases your mind, then by all means call the midwife chick. At the end of the day they are there to put our minds at rest.

I wouldnt worry too much about the progesterone though..I think if she had low progesterone issues then she would have had a more continual spotting issue since her af date? Not sure...

Charmed..have you been having any naughty time with the OH? Cos that can cause spotting and cramping too and its totally normal xxx
