February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

Hi all, so many new people

 

[Mummy1506]

I'm getting some dull period like cramps & light pink blood when I wipe! anyone else had this around week 7 not sure if to be worried or not.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

No. Personally, I've only ever bled for my miscarriage. Not trying to scare you, but pink blood and cramping, I would take as a sign to go get checked out.

I didn't know what my due date was. I just knew it was between February 10 and February 14, so I went with February 14, and then got changed to February 8 at my ultrasound. Either way, it wouldn't happen that day cuz I'm planning a csection, and even if I do end up going the VBAC route, I've gone over with both of my donor babies.

Mummy1506, I agree with brandi, best to go get checked out!!!! Fx'd all is well... my dr always says while spotting can be very common its definitely not normal {for pregnancy}!!!

 

[pinkpassion]

Honestly if I was due the 13th or 15th I'd say the 14th too ... when I was pregnant with my last mmc, my edd was December 26th, but I said it was December 25th ...

Ugh...TMI Warning

I went to the bathroom this morning and when I wiped, I had a small streak of pink. That was about 20 minutes ago and I feel like my vajayjay still has a dull burn to it, but it didn't burn when I went.

I don't know if UTIs can burn after the fact, or only when you're actually going, and I don't want to sit in emerge all day just to find out either.

I'm getting some dull period like cramps & light pink blood when I wipe! anyone else had this around week 7 not sure if to be worried or not.

I had a cross between that and old blood clots/discharge like ALL of week 7- I'm thinking it was my "period". I did get an US at 7+1 (second day of spotting), and continued to spot through 7+5. Yesterday was my first day of no spotting. My US showed a heartbeat and my betas continue to rise so everything seems to be going well! My OB did put me on pelvic rest (no insertion, orgasms, or swimming/baths) until I have had a week with no spotting.

I agree, get it checked out, but it also could be nothing.

ETA: I also had cramping and lower back ache- the cramps were about as bad as period cramps.

 

[Mummy1506]

Thanks both I've left a msg
With my mw so hopefully will hear back soon.

Congrats and welcome NikTik and Carry!!

Mummy1506 I wouldn't worry too much, but I'd still get checked out. I've had bleeding without miscarriage and miscarriage without bleeding so.... First tri is so tricky!

I was so sick last night I was eating crackers and drinking gingerale and trying to sleep. But with being sick and so sunburnt I can't lay on my back or my side really it was difficult. Hoping it doesn't come back today. But after our 5K race yesterday we have another full day - birthday party for my nephew. Going to be so tired lol. Thankfully no work until July 6!! Also not able to suck in my belly anymore. Not a bump, but it's working on it. I can still wear regular jeans, but I don't think for much longer!

Lol I'm going out to buy some bigger clothes today. Most of it is due to bloat, but my pants just aren't comfortable anymore.

 

[BabyNo1]

I am already in maternity jeans .. I can't do any of my normal ones up lol.

Yep! Lots of bloat. Thankfully the bloat isn't every day anymore though I have lots of sundresses to wear too so I don't have to worry about putting on my jeans Work will be interesting, but since it's a new job I'm sure they won't be able to tell.

 

[writingislove]

I rarely wear skirts to work but since we're in a heat wave of 100+ temps, I'm thinking of buying a bunch of maxi skirts since they're flowy and stretchy...just hoping my already-suspicious boss doesn't wonder about my change in wardrobe.

 

[ajarvis]

You waiting til second tri to tell work? I'm hoping to wait until September or October. But that will be pushing it I think. I wanted to get out of probation preferably, but I get big fast in 2nd tri so not sure how that will work.

 

[writingislove]

Yeah I plan on waiting until September. My boss will be happy and supportive, I believe, but unfortunately she loves to gossip and I'm not ready for the whole office to know.

 

[Mummy1506]

Back from hospital have a UTI but can't get my antibiotics until tomorrow as no where is open. Hopefully that's all it is but they didn't scan or anything just felt my tummy.

Just have to rest for a few days but BP was high too so said get into GP tomorrow to get checked over

 

[writingislove]

Hoping it's just a UTI, Mummy. I had a bad one right before my BFP and there was quite a bit of blood, so that could definitely be it.

 

[ajarvis]

Hope your antibiotics can clear it up. Can that cause the high BP too ?

 

[Mummy1506]

Thank you. Doc didn't seem too concerned so taking that as a good sign.

Not sure on the bp front he didn't really say. Will check with gp tomorrow

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Hope that's all it is, Mummy.

I'm starting a new job tomorrow. Will be 8 weeks and I get big very fast. I know that I'll be showing before my three months is up so I'm just hoping I can hide it under my uniform long enough to get out. I need to get to 600 hours lol. I'll probably ask for a uniform size a little bigger than what I need so I can hide it longer, and if they get suspicious, I'll tell them it's impossible because I had my tubes tied (not a lie...but I'll leave out the part where I reversed them), and then "Surprise, so it turns out, I am pregnant".

I didn't want to go back this soon, especially since it means I'm forking out $2000 a month for daycare for 4 kids (my entire paycheque and then some), but I needed to start early enough that I'm not showing so I have a better chance at building up hours to take my maternity leave again.

Other than that...stretchy yoga pants ALL THE WAY!!!
