I think too H, I'm not too familiar with the nub theory but its just my hunch!!

Pink, it sounds like could be irritated cervix, take it easy hun and hopefully the spotting will go away xx

 

[mrsG5]

Hi,

Hope everything is ok Hotpink. I hope you're able to not stress too much and it all calms down.

When do you get your hair results back Kanga?

 

[QueenieMurphy]

Oh ladies, Pouring in Cornwall today, gale force winds and weather warnings. I'm never staycationing again!!

Em - am sure the spotting is just due to the fooling round(i've read lots posts on similar thing happening) as everyone says just relax, feet up, am sure it will stop. No more fooling round for you!!!!

HB - I think girl too. Really do.

I think its boy for me, my bump is huge and I have hairy tummy(gross) which I've heard means boy.

Have been getting lots of kicks on and off - though freaking out yesterday as didn't feel a thing all day PLUS bump had halved in size - its definitely smaller than it was two days ago - really weird. However felt couple kicks this morning, in a different place so baby must have moved. Anyone else noticed bump getting smaller? Do you think I should be worried?

Don't know what we're going to do today, we've exhausted all indoor activities in Cornwall - yesterday was actually sunny and we had a day at beach, was so lovely but today is grim. Oh well at least we're in a nice hotel.

I've heard that baby moving in to back can make bump smaller

 

[hotpinkangel]

I had to go for a scan this morning.. Baby's fine but I have a cervical ectropion/erosion does anyone know anything about this?? X

 

[mrsG5]

Glad babies fine hot pink, don't know mucg about cervical erosion, sorry.

Queenie, my bump looked smaller too but guess it was just baby moving. i'm feeling kicks all the time now and some of them can be quite uncomfortable. I don't think its anything to worry about.

I think this is where the cervix is inflammed - it is irritated by bd - have popped a link.

Doubt they'll do anything while you're pg

[QueenieMurphy]

Em, don't know anything about that but glad baby is ok - glad you got a scan.

Mrs G how are things going with your bicornuate uterus? Are they keeping a close eye on you?

Helen how did meeting go about your swollen ankles?

 

[hb1]

They are looking into a chair for me and I have to get up and move around every 20 mins - in addition to drinking lots of water and elevated legs of an evening. Am going to ask mw about support stockings on friday - free prescriptions means it's worth a go

 

[kanga]

I've been referred to the fertility speicalist

I asked how long it takes - "matter of weeks really, maybe a couple of months" - which I have taken to be 10-12 weeks. I'm really happy, hopefully we will get some answers. Not sure if we want to try in the meantime yet, guess will have to think about that.

Also I appear to be having a period

Shame the rain got you Lucy, sounds like you managed to occupy yourself with the treatments anyhoo. I love Cornwall but it is a tad annoying when it rains, did you go to the Eden Project?

 

[hb1]

Good news Rachel Tough call on ttc in the meantime though - maybe NTNP - still it's tough.

[the_key2005]

Thats good news Rachel, hopefully it wont be too much of a long wait. HB i too am thinking team pink for you. Just going with gut feeling. QM I too have a hairy tummy, I surcumbed and had it waxed the other day, so going by what you telling me I guess we are team blue huh, I guess we'll be able to prove that theory soon lol.
Hotpin Cervical erosion sometimes happens when you would normally have a period. Thats what they thought was going on with me before i was diagnosed with the hematoma. But hang in there hun, just take it easy and everything will be fine.

 

[Lolly W]

Em - I've not heard of cervical erosion I'm afraid so I'm not much help there. It sounds like the scan was reassuring for you though.

Rach - Glad to hear something's happening and you're on the road to getting some answers. Look forward to hearing how it all goes. Fingers crossed you won't have to wait too long to see someone.

AFM - Just got back from my 26 week antenatal check. It was great - urine, blood pressure both fine. Livi's heartrate was 154 and I got given my MATB1 Certificate so that I can start claiming my MA. The midwife said she couldn't feel babies position as my tummy muscles are so strong. She also thinks this is why my bump is so small (26 week bump pic now in my journal). My uterus is measuring bang on for dates though so nothing to worry about. Back again for bloods and breast feeding chat in 2 weeks.

 

[goddess25]

Wow it looks like everyone is doing great.

Hotpink -All I know about cervical erosion is that its caused by the high estrogen levels during pregnancy and can result in bleeding throughout the entire pregnancy (mild bleeding) mainly after sex when the penis touches the cervix. I am pretty sure it goes away a few months after birth. I am so glad that everything is fine! I knew that it would be. I am so pleased for you.

Lolly - lucky you with your strong stomach muscles glad everything is going well.

HB - I have no idea about sex of baby... i have no idea about this nub theory thing. It looks the same as a pic I had of Euan at that age too so to mix things up I say BOY!

Kanga - good to hear that you being referred to the specialist I hope you get to see him/her soon. My best friend at home in Scotland just had her 5th loss and she has been told she has to wait till Feb 2011 to get in to the recurrent m/c clinic in Edinburgh. Pretty shocking. Hope you get some good news soon.

I am at work right now and have been here for awhile but due to leave soon to go and see the new/old midwife for my first appointment. I have so many questions but mainly right now I am just filled with anxiety. I tried to find the HB on SUnday with my doppler and still could not find it and I just know its going to be the same today and I am going to be filled with more worry about it all. To top it off nausea is now totally manageable and almost gone which is great and logically I know that its about the right time to start leaving when the placenta is taking over but obviously I cannot help thinking bad things.

I am leaving in about 40 minutes to go to the midwife and then will be back at work after. We have a meeting today with management they are cutting one of our coordinator positions and we are meeting for them to tell us that. So not good times ahead. We will all hav an extra 2 physicians each to give us patients so the workload is going to be pretty bad.

 

[hotpinkangel]

jo, i couldn't find baby's hb on doppler till 15 weeks + and couldn't find it yesterday either. don't panic, i know it's hard not to. sure mw will reassure you. my sickness went at 14 weeks too. hb... i guess boy! don't know why! x

 

[cutelou101]

Hi ladies! Just wanted to pop and say hi from Boston! New York was fab, but very wet!! But had a great time, now have 3 days in Boston. Af got me Sunday night, early again!

Glad to see everyone doing ok, will have proper catch up when back on Monday . Keep well xxxxx

 

[goddess25]

Well it turns out my last midwife was even crapper than I thought...

She got my dates wrong and never checked all the scan dating stuff even though I asked her... my original scan way back in July was totally correct and the 2 scans I have had since then totally measure the same for dates.. so I am now due on the 28th February which i originally thought. So basically she was trying to find the heartbeat at 10 and 11 weeks not later as we thought so no bloody wonder she couldn't find it. My placenta is also anterior so right in front of the baby and todays midwife who was so fab told me that there are going to be times in this pregnancy that we wont be able to find the heartbeat depending on where the baby is... if its directly behind the placenta and I have a retroverted uterus she said it will be very difficult to hear... although we did hear it today for about 10 seconds then baby moved..... she reckoned it was about 160 that was pretty much what Euan's was the whole time, so maybe another boy for me!

Anyway I am so much happier about it all and I can't believe how comfortable and happy I was when I came out after seeing the midwife today.. she is so competent it was excellent.

SO the good thing is i am feeling a bit reassured about it all. Hated moving back in dates as I thought i was in the 2nd tri but its not far to go now.

Lou I can imagine that NYC would be amazing in any weather as there is so much to do there... enjoy Boston its supposed to be fab too never been there either. I have only been to the West coast of the US. Enjoy the rest of your vacation... sorry I am getting to Americanized these days your holidays....

Hi Lou!

Not sure if you'll get this in time but here are a few tips if you're in Boston. I've been a couple of times with OH's work so we've done all the tours!

* We enjoyed the 'Duck' tour if you can fit it in - Jump off at Quincy's Market for a browse.
* Best clothes shopping is at Copley Plaza and the surrounding streets
* Take a boat trip to Cape Cod from Boston Harbour - this does ake a whole day though.
* Take a stroll around the park - the bird boats are funny (we stayed at the Four Seasons overlooking the park)

jo that's good news! when i had my scan on wednesday my scan report said i have an anterior placenta too, but no one mentioned anything about hearing baby or anything?? i can feel little movements too which i thought was harder to feel with ap? i'm sure they'll explain at my 20week scan... only 24 days to go!!!! Lou, glad you're having a great time!!! x

 

[cutelou101]

Thanks lauren!! Think we are going to do the duck tour today, we are at Copley square in our hotel so will check the shops out as never got chance in new York!! It's a lovely day here today, love this part of USA.

Thanks jo, it was amazing even in the rain, got so much done and still had loads more to see!! Glad your much happier with your midwife now, she sounds much better. Xxx
