I'm petrified

Just been out for dinner - got home and it felt kinda wet down there so I wiped and there was very light brown tinged mucus on the tissue and quite a bit of it.. for a couple of wipes. Then nothing. I stuck the tissue up there and there was a small bit of colour to the tissue. Petrified!!!

Oh sweetie, I feel for you. The upside is that it was very light brown, which could just be old blood that is shedding a bit. I've heard that is very, very normal. Still, I totally understand how scary that is!! I've had a miscarriage in the past and the main sign that it was an MC and not just spotting, was that the blood was bright red and there was (very quickly) a lot of it. I remember reading online afterwards that bright red blood is a concern, brown spotting is usually nothing to worry about. I'm sorry for TMI, but hopefully that comforts you a bit. My fingers are crossed that for you that you haven't had any more since you posted your msg. I am praying for you!!! Big hugs.

Hey ladies. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I had a pretty good one although I had to work. I had a mini hormonal fit yesterday. My poor BF I'm glad he is so understanding. Now today I had to call into work.because MS decided to come around. I don't want to call out anymore. Any of you ladies have any good recommendations for the not stop.queasy feeling? I need something I can do at work to help ease it.

Thanks ladies for your reassurance I ended up spending 5 hours in a&e on Saturday night. It didn't get heavier but I was so worried and I wouldn't have slept! They took 6 tubes of blood and checked blood pressure which was through the roof and checked my urine which was fine. However they refused to scan me there and then saying I have to be added to the waiting list, so the earliest one I could be scheduled in for is lunch time tomorrow! I'll be almost 10 weeks so expecting to see more and hopefully movements this time too! I have been hearing heartbeat on the Doppler ranging between 160-180 which is a massive reassurance! I've been hearing it from 9 weeks exactly. I know everyone is different and it may not be the case for everyone to find it as early, and obviously they can sometimes cause more stress than anything else but that machine has helped me no end especially after the weekend!!! Definitely worth looking into ladies if you haven't already we will all be heading out of first tri shortly - yay! Hope everyone's okay

Just an update .. baby is perfect. Sonographer said it's doubled in size since my last scan and is developing and growing perfectly. We even got to see him/her bouncing around having a right great time in there

That's wonderful news babybump!

Fab news babybump! So relieved for u. I was terrified when I had my spotting a few weeks ago so I know how scary it can be. So glad everything is okay for u. I had a scan on Friday and bubs is measuring 2 weeks behind my original date which I fully expected because I O on day 26 of my cycles rather than day 14 like most people! So my new due date is 26th Sept we saw little bubbas heartbeat and sonographer said everything looks great so I am really relieved now and feel like I can start to get excited! How is everyone else feeling? My sickness is starting to really take hold of me. I was extremely sick with my first and I'm feeling like I'm going the same way now! It's really hard to hide running to the toilet to be sick in the middle of lunch when out with friends who don't know yet. Anyone else suffering for sickness? Please tell me I'm not alone, misery loves company haha! X

 

[Babybump2017]

Bless you Tess! It's quite nice feeling strong symptoms though dont you think? Quick reminder you're actually pregnant! I have only been sick once and that was just before 8 weeks. But I did also have a chest infection at the same time so I was constantly coughing which was making me heave, otherwise I doubt I would of been sick at all this whole time! The main thing I've had is sore boobs from day 1 and major tiredness- I could nap at my desk during the day at work easily!

Ashnamber- I'm guessing your name is amber so I'm just gonna call you amber from now on hahaha,

I have a pack of jacobs crackers in my draw at work at all times! The minute you feel that nauseous queezy sicky feeling a cracker seems to do the job for me. Either that or down a few gulps of water and it seems to give me that fresher feeling again if you know what I mean. Apart from that I haven't really found anything else that's worked for me! X

 

[Savasanna]

Baby bump - so happy to hear your update!

Had my booking appointment today, midwife sticking with my due date of 18 September, just have to wait for a scan appointment to come through the post for roughly 4 weeks rime

Good news babybump sickness has been bad for me too, I've been keeping ginger biscuits nearby at all times and they help me feel better. I have started having really sore boobs and they have grown loads which is annoying because they were big enough before! Annoying by reassuring to get symptoms though

 

[Dani_b]

I've not had the sickness this time, but mega sore boobs and really tired all the time

I find the Chimes ginger chews (or any ginger chews) really help. You can get them at most pharmacies or health food stores. I totally feel your pain though - I've been having nausea 24/7 since about 5.5 weeks (currently 11 weeks and it is just starting to subside a bit now, although still there!). I have a high-pressure job and trying to hide how sick i feel is pure torture! I just want to be laying down most of the day!

Hi ladies! I had my Appt and all looks good! I'm 8 weeks Thursday and my next Appt is scheduled March 10th which will be when I do all my tests for genetics, gender, etc. I was so nauseous last week and it turned out that I needed to take my prenatal at night after dinner. After I started doing this my nausea got way better. Still have it some bit it's tolerable. Ginger gummies help. I'm so tired though. It's really hard for me to be this exhausted. Hope everyone is doing well!

Just catching up on everyone's updates, glad to see all is going ok.
I'm 8 weeks tomorrow, will be going to midwives group session tomorrow as well for the first appt.
I'm a little worried as my symptoms have subsided after being so full on last week, I know they come and go so trying not to worry but it's hard after 4 mmc's. It doesn't help that I'm full of cold at the moment too.
I have bought myself a Doppler this time which should arrive at the end of the week.
Anyone else's symptoms subside around the same time?

Hey ladies hows it going with all your pregnancies!? I get to go have all my blood work, free cell DNA test and NT study U/S on Valentines day! I was kinda surprised because I'll only be 11 weeks 1 day, but the sooner the better, I'm not complaining! I should get the results of the free cell dna test around 12 weeks. I'm hoping everything looks good and it serves as a big reassurance for me and obviously I'm excited to find out the gender I didnt find out until 20 weeks with my other pregnancies, so I think it will be fun to find out sooner, especially if its a boy because it will be our first and it will give us more time to prepare

 

[kittykat7210]

It's going okay, but stressed for no particular reason but there we go! How's it going for you? Exciting about your scan!! So sweet that it's on Valentine's Day! I'm so jealous other people are finding out so early!!
