My friend who had twins also swelled up at night. Think that's quite common later on in pregnancY anyway. Did you ever have any more bleeding after that scare at 8 weeks?
I am so cautious at the moment. Like to lie down a lot altho I feel fine and not tired. Wondering how I'm going to handle work when I have to stay upright all day! How is your work? X

Really good to catch up on your news Minno. When do you get your next beta results? xxx

Waves to everyone xxx

Dont worry Minno, the symptoms will come. I remember being desperate for some just to convince me that I really was expecting, was delighted round about week 6/7 when I started feeling a bit of nausea -OMG, was so over it by 5 months when I could barely poo and was carrying plastic bags in my car because I was still vomiting. Have a good day tomorrow and I'll be thinking about you on Monday. Xx

 

[Minno]

Thanks Glitter and Rags. I don't like this bit of waiting to see how things will work out. I'm a nervous wreck! Glad I'm getting the beta though as it at least lets me know if things are progressing in the way they should be before the scan. Had to push scan to 7w+5 as dh is away with work right at the 7w mark
Rags, thanks for reassurance re symptoms. I like being symptom free but there is always that niggle of why don't I feel anything. Then again, the thought of work when you're feeling lousy doesn't appeal either - how did you cope with it? Vomit bags in the car - will have to remember that lol

I would say I've never had any symptons of pregnancy. Just little sick feeling & tired oh I did have bad constipation but I think that's because I couldn't eat any veg as the smell was revolting. I was gutted I had no morning sickness lol I better not say too much as I'll probably end up being unwell towards the end of pregnancy. Only moan I have is peeing constant & lying on my side is very uncomfortable.
Oh it's exciting, great your doctor did a blood test that makes it more official that you are pregnant one or two though that is the question.....If you need to have a rest then rest do what your body tells you to do.

How is everyone else I'm lost with who is going through treatment at the moment? xx

 

[Minno]

V that is amazing you never had any symptoms! I hope I'm the same but at this stage I'm just looking for reassurance. I had those couple of days around bfp time when I felt terrible but must have been a virus as since then I've been feeling fine. Will hear from doc tomoro re hcg repeat. This will be interesting!
Hope everyone is well. Any updates from anyone? X

 

[H4M]

I'm sorry!! I wrote a massive long reply on sat and have just noticed it never sent !

In bit of a hurry now so will reply properly later but will try answer what I remember lol! I never had anymore bleeds after 8 weeks but that was a very big bleed! I think yours will be nothing to worry about Minno probably implantation or the pessaries, my works been good with me but I do feel it sometimes on my back and have the fattest feet and ankles just now .
Will speak to you all properly later xx

How did todays results go Minno? Like others you just cope with feeling rubbish. I at least managed to keep some meals and fluids down so didn't need medical intervention. At work my office was very near a toilet which was handy and as I was head of my department and have a job which isn't office based most of the time no one questioned if I kept having to get up and leave.

 

[glitter1980]

Just checking in to see how things went today Minno xx

Hope your ok! X

 

[Minno]

No update im afraid girls. Beta results not back yet! Grrrrrrrr. Have to wait another day.
Feeling a bit ropey tonight - can feel an early bed coming on!
Xx

 

[H4M]

Hope you get your results today Minno, try and relax as much as you can xx

Hello ladies, sorry haven't been available lately was so busy after our London journey. My wee man slept through the night from 10pm to 6am fed and went back to sleep. So just thought to get up and start pumping my boobs while I catch up on all posts.
Massive congratulations Minno I hope the bleeding has settled now. We got 4 bumps now am I correct.
Waves to everyone will catch up properly later on today just getting ready to go out for our 1st day at play group.

 

[Minno]

Repeat beta was 5245 and doc was delighted with that. But.....I woke up at 4am to a bigger bleed that scared me. It stopped over the day but it makes me upset and anxious. Gp wants another beta done tomorrow.
This is a bit of a nightmare!

Glad you had nice trip
To London Rags. Sounds lovely.

How is everyone else? Thanks so much for all your support and good wishes xxxx

 

[H4M]

Glad you had a lovely trip Funfair sounds like your wee boys doing great xx

Minno if your worried I'd speak to a doctor or even phone the early pregnancy clinic and ask for an earlier scan, when I had the bleed I phoned nhs24 and they booked me in for a scan the next morning to check everything was ok. Your betas showing great results so try and stay positive. Have you taken anymore tests yourself ?? Xx

 

[H4M]

Hi everyone ,
Had another scan and both babies are doing great they are both engaged , got another scan in a few weeks to check everything fine and will be taken in at 37-38 weeks xx

 

[Rags]

H, thats great, did you get some more pictures for your family album?

Minno, I hope your day has gone ok. Asking for an eary scan at the early pregnancy clinic sounds like a good idea. Just seeing a bean snuggled up in there would be reassuring even if it's to early for heart beats yet.

 

[Minno]

Lovely update H. It's going so well, I'm thrilled for you.

Not so great for me I'm afraid. Bleeding bright red this afternoon. Yet third beta taken today is 17176 and doctor is happy! I can't take much more of this. If I bleed anymore I'm going to call doc in the morning and ask them to book me in for early scan. At least they can tell me where bleeding is from hopefully! X

 

[glitter1980]

Aw Minno that's a fantastic beta! Not so good about the bleed Hun, the doctor clearly isn't concerned but push for the early scan if only to put your own mind at ease! Xx

H - lovely!!!! How long left? Are you all organized? Xxxx

 

[H4M]

Minno sorry to hear about the bleed again, must be very worrying and upsetting but your beta is showing great so could just be with all hormones and treatment, try not to worry too much, I know people who have bled the whole way through pregnancy, but I know how worrying it is as I was the same stay positive xx

Thanks everyone, well could be taken in 8.5 weeks!!! Eeeek!! Scary! Yeh we have a lot of stuff, still don't feel organised though , and I got more photos xx

 

[Minno]

Wow H where did the time go! Very exciting! Xx
