Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[ladykara]

Beth - all depends if you want to and if you have too... At my work I have to, I didn't want to.. If I had a office job I wouldn't tell them until I was ready. I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and I always said I would tell people at 12 weeks but to be honest I'm not ready.. My team at work know but no one else at work ( although I have not been in since last month so maybe everyone does now ) x

Congrats amjon, lovely scan pics yeah for twins!

Hey ladies! Really worried. I went to the bathroom and had some dark brown thick stringy (almost like snot) came out. I called the doctor and they said they were reassured by by previous positive scans and my good exam on Monday and that all I can do now is wait until to see what happens and that they weren't really worried. I feel terrible. I'm so mad. I'm so done being worried about having a miscarriage. I'm just tired and angry. I feel so helpless. I want to punch something.

Go to the emergency room this evening and pretend you haven't spoken to your OB. You're probably fine but you need to get it checked out for your peace of mind

 

[mackjess]

Beth, I've had some brown tinged cm like that and it turned out to be nothing. the ob said your uterus doubles in size the first tri and sometimes there is of blood that works is way out. of course I still cried and worried all day but it quit and I've been ok since then

 

[bethneebabe]

It just seemed to be that little bit. No unusual discharge now. I had something a little similar happen at 7 weeks and everything was okay. I think I should stop checking my CM, I think I may have irritated my cervix.

 

[girlinyork]

That's a possibility. I've avoided my cervix since I got my bfp in case I aggravate it x

Can I join please?

I've avoided joining anything like this since I got my bfp. To be honest I pretty much stick to my journal

That being said after an amazing scan yesterday at 10+2 I finally feel like I can relax and start joining in!

So I'm 10 +3 today, due date is 10/7/13 and I have my NT scan in less than 2 weeks 27/12/12

Greay pics Amjon!

Beth, I had brown spotting for a few days that started ay 8 weeks 2 days (day of my scan, which went well), originally it was quite a bit and it redused as the days went on. In my scan the nurse said that there was a tiny bruise quite a bit under baby which looked like a tiny shadow (god knows how it go there)...so it may be something like that or you have irritated your cervix..Its good that its stopped now.

Well ladies I have been bashed with a dose of the Negative Nancys again...I woke up during the night with period like cramps, and I was feeling sick with worry and still am as I am now having dull achy (before period starts cramp)...there has been no spotting but my boobs are barely tender although I did feel icky last night...I am honestly praying to God that this PG is ok...I actually really dont think I could cope with a MC no 5...sorry for being so negative but I know that if I say to my husband he will be like 'dont think about it' lol yeah right like thats going to happen! x

 

[girlinyork]

Hi beautifulD of course you can join

Lumen, I had dreadful cramps at 9+6 and was distraught but they dissipated. Between 9-12 weeks the baby and uterus have loads of growth spurts. I believe babys weight more than doubles if I remember correctly no cramping now and breast tenderness intermittent still x

 

[Lumen000]

Thanks GIY, I phoned the pregnancy support centre fore peice of mind and the nurse will phone me back, I have my second exam on Monday and Im meeting up with classmates to study so Im really hoping that I dont feel horrible with worry all day...Thanks again x

 

[girlinyork]

If the cramping isn't followed by bleeding and you know you're not ectopic then you're chances of complications are very slim (midwife told me this) x

 

[BeautifulD]

Girlinyork.... could you pm me the link for the siggy thing please? I'm only on my phone and can't copy the link on a post

Lumen.... I am pretty crampy too on and off I think like girl said it's perfectly normal as our beans are rapidly growing now

my oh also tells me the same thing lol sometimes I really want to hit him when he says stuff like that but I know he's only trying to help

 

[girlinyork]

I'll pm you once I've hauled my bottom out of bed and onto my laptop lazy lazy lazy preggo today x

 

[Lumen000]

Thanks Beautiful and I forgot to say WELCOME....deary me!

Thanks girlys, the nurse will call me soon I think anyways...Im just worried because of the boob thing because the are really not painful anymore but hey ho!

I finally got my ass ready to go for an old day study session with an excentric trainee minister and American exchange student from California (very loud) amongst other people...I will be late though but Im just glad I got motivated and didnt have a down in the dumps day...wish me luck lol!! x x x

 

[ladykara]

Beth- doesn't sound like anything to worry about, but I'm guessing you will anyway... I think I had some dark stringy type discharge at 7 weeks x

Lumen - so many women I know cramp, as their uterus stretch its got to cause some feeling, mines already been stretched a few times now so I haven't suffered any cramping this time but I did with jake x

Beautiful welcome honey, glad you decided to join us, I still have not posted in the main July thread.. Think ill wait a few more weeks x

I will catch up mon at work. Right now I am so excited. I am 8 wks today and my doppler came in the mail. I woke up kinda worried because my boobs and nipples were not sore at all but still felt nauseas. When it came it took me 30 min to an hr but I found the hb it was between 155 and 160. I found it a few more times today also the last time I letf dh hear it registered at 167. At first he was like don't push down so hard your suffocating him lol. It took me a while last time and I am pretty sure I will have a circle bruise right above my pubic bone. This has been the best $55 I have spent and it will save a lot more because of less dr visits lol. I got the sonoline b 3 mhz probe.

 

[mackjess]

Ohhhh I can't wait to get my monitor! I really really hope I get one for Xmas, it's the only reason I haven't bought one myself. I figure if I can save money, but if I don't get it for xmas I will definitely be ordering one right away!
