Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

[Gemie]

Wiped after a BM today and had a little streak of brown... Should I be freaking out like I am? I have no sickness at all just extreme tiredness and large veiny breast. I'm so scared

I think I'd be freaking too even if I knew brown blood wasn't something to worry about. Call your doctor?
I'm sure everything is fine! Xx

 

[lovehearts]

I'd call the doctor tower. See if they will scan you xx

Omg no denying it now I'm having baby No3!

I've got over the shock and I'm excited now just not looking forward to the weekly midwife apps but at least I get to listen to baby lots and enjoy all the extra scans and I'll only have to wait till I'm 39 weeks to meet my little one!!

Talked to dr office they said brown is normal especially after intercourse but that was 2 days ago :/ so idk I still feel worried. They made me an u/s appointment for the 21st but that still feels so far away

You did the right thing. That date will soon be here. Try not to worry too much

Tower... I've been spotting on and off since Saturday. Went to the er today, everything looks great! Saw the tiny little heart beat and I'm measuring right on schedule!!!
So I assume spotting/streaks are normal for some of us!! Keep your head up and drink plenty of water! I'm sure everything will turn out ok!

I was told last time that spotting of any colour isn't normal, but is very common, so I'd probably see if you can see someone, but unfortunately as we are so early on still they will try to just tell you to rest. I know they can't do anything to stop it from happening if its going to happen, but I do think Drs & nurses could do a little more to help minimise stress. When I started spotting last time I saw the Dr and he told me I was having a threatened abortion. Which I know is what a m/c is, but jeez- he had zero compassion and made me more upset!

ETA, sorry that was the worst post ever! I'm sure you are fine, it's just a bit of a gripe of mine, and I got on my soap box, sorry!

My last pregnancy I had the same sensitivity from the doctor as Zowiey when I was spotting. He told me it was a threatened miscarriage or an abortion and I just couldn't believe he was coming out with these words! Had to wait three weeks for a scan and thankfully all was fine. These docs need to learn to speak more carefully and sensitively!
KDK- glad to hear all is ok

I've got midwife booked for 2 weeks today.

Tiredness is unbelievable at the mo and got terrible nausea, as well as sore boobies. All good signs though xx

Kdk- so so so fleas to hear that everything is ok! Are you still bleeding?


Afm- I have pee'd twice since then and no spotting whatsoever but I'm over annalyzing every little cramp or twinge...oh the first trimester...

 

[Kdk24]

Not as of now... The nurse said it's problem from my uterus stretching. He said some women don't have the same elasticity other do and as it stretches throughout the pregnancy it creates little tears causing spotting. He said my cervix was closed tight so no need to worry.

 

[LoraLoo]

Kdk thats great news

Tower, fleas?

 

[lovehearts]

Kdk I'm glad all is ok x

I just went in for my first hcg betas. Dr said they weren't necessary but I requested them anyway just to ease my mind everything is progressing normally since my first scan isn't til march 29 and I'm not sure how far along I am. I'm thinking only 4-5ish weeks due to late ovulation but am further by lmp...6+2.

 

[Tower6]

Fleas! Lol that's funny I didn't even catch that! Dang iPhones!

Is anyone else constipated? I was having loose stools (sorry) every morning when I got up for the last couple weeks, then I got my prescription prenatals that they ordered with extra iron because I'm anemic (I guess most dont have the level of iron these have) so now those cause constipation so I'm having a hard time. I don't really want to take a stool softener with a prenatal because I like to be on the least amount of pills as possible but not sure what's best. Any advice?
They had me take dulcolax with my other pregnancies because I simply don eat enough of the right foods to loosen it up naturally. Anyway should I just wait it out?

 

[camocutie2006]

Not sure but know i'm constipated!
