Sparky - I'm sorry you are stressing hun, i think we would all be the same if we were in your shoes right now. From what you have said though it wasnt FMU and was quite dilute, you also said it took ages to come up with the 1-2 so that may mean it was on the boarderline between the 1-2 and the 2-3. So it seems like there is nothing to really worry about xxxx

Do you have anymore digi's? Might be worth doing on in the morning with FMU to reasure you it was just a one off xx

 

[Barbles]

Urg sickness has started today. Not too bad yet but enough that I just urged at my desk ha. It has started two weeks earlier that my last pregnancy, fabulous, was hoping for a couple more sickness free weeks.

 

[phoebe]

That's an interesting question, how old is everyone? I'm 30, 31 in a few weeks time.

Hi girls x
how are we all today?? i am better than y-day, my god i was so ill. couldnt go into kitchen as every smell made me gag. and i was also so dizzy kept feeling the world was on a slant and werent able to close my eyes lol. i have my scan on weds, so feeling v.v.nervous about that. and in answer to fifi's question i am 38. so that must make me 1 of the oldest here xxx

sparky. Get in touch with EPU, hopefully they will get you in for a scan and beta hcg which will set your mind at ease.

Feeling a bit upset this morning, have had brown discharge, definitely blood. Have had cramps from before I had my BFP and felt very uncomfortable all weekend with them, plus very stressed (noisy neighbours). I called the EPU and spoke to a nurse there who was very dismissive, just told me to monitor it and if it gets red/heavy, to call again. I know there's nothing they can do now - I would just have liked not to be talked to like I'm a fusspot

Hey girlys I'm fine now alittle tired and MS has died down I had some porrige for breakfast this morning which helped it alot, so hopefully that will stay away for today at least, oh and the age question... I'm 26 now turned 26 a few weeks ago and my husband is 26 he will be 27 in a few weeks, we have been togther 7years and married 3years

 

[Starry Night]

Are you allowed to just show up to the epu? I don't live in the UK so I'm not sure how it goes. I'm in Canada and we just show up to the ER when things go wrong. Sometimes I think your treatment depends on what day you show up and the particular staff and if they're in bad moods, etc. Once I was unlucky and they were obviously trying to get rid of me and spoke to me like I was crazy. The next day I had my miscarriage. This time around they've always taken me seriously.

Oh, I'm 27 and DH is 29. Will be married 2 years this December and this is our second pregnancy and first child.

I've asked my husband to bring one in with him tonight and i will test tomorrow.

I really don't want to phone them and sound neurotic, if it still says 1-2 tomorrow morning i will definitely phone them.

I've text'd my midwife and hopefully she can offer some advice too xx

Morning ladies! This was such a crazy weekend for me! Thurs,Friday,and Sat I was sooooo horribly Not just but I couldn't hold anything down, dizzy,so faint,my whole body hurt,headache just miserable. On Fri, the little boy I watch started everywhere,When my son got home he joined in and so did my hubby! Sat was my DD birthday party and It took all I had to get out of bed and throw the party. My hubby bought me those SEA BANDS I saw someone one here talking about and on Sat night I slept with them on and woke up on Sun morning with VERY LITTLE felt pretty good most of the day.Went on a walk with the family and half way thru got so dizzy,faint and started to get again. Came home @3:00pm took a nap and didn't wake up till this morning. Slept with the bands on again and woke up this morning feeling pretty good again. I was doin research on the bands and it said it was helping people sleep as well. I'm not sure if that's true but I slept like a rock! My DD was calling for me and I thought it was 1:00-2:00am but it was 6:00am! I was still in the same position I was went I went to sleep! I haven't ben sleeping well since I got pregnant. If anyone is having trouble sleeping its worth trying those Sea Bands!

Whereabouts are you? Where I live (in ontario) I have gone to ER and they have taken care of me there (scans, bloods etc) during the early stages of my past pregnancies. Then later in the pregnancy (my son) I ended up in ER a couple of times (car accident and a fall down the stairs) and they sent me straight away to the EPU. So, I think it might depend how far along you are, but it is worth going, either way, if it is going to make you feel better.

I am 34, 35 in April and my hubby is 32 (my toy boy!!) we have been together almost 10 years and married 8...that's a long time, when I see it typed down LOL!!

Hope everyone's scans go well today - can't wait to hear about them!

 

[Doodlepants]

Hi everyone.
Sparky-thinking of you-I'm a huge worrier so for me to say 'don't worry I'm sure you'll be fine' won't mean much even though I really do think you'll be fine, those bloody tests are a pain! I only did one when I had Holly but I've done 4 this time! I'd check in the morning but I'd deffo phone your MW as she may be able to just put your mind at rest
In answer to the age question, I'm 24, my Husband is 25. We've been married nearly 2 years but have been together many years before! This is our second pregnancy. We have a daughter who's nearly 3. We are truly blessed not to have suffered any losses.
Raz- my Midwife apointments tomorrow and my real names Maria if you wanted to put that on front page.
Hope everyones having a good start to the week

Hi,
Sorry to hear you're not getting anywhere help-wise. That nurse sounds like an idiot!Surely she knows how worrying the first tri is?!
You're not being a fusspot- I'd have done the same. A lot of peeps on here have had the same as you and it's turned out to be fine. Can you put your feet up? Maybe just take it easy
Don't sit there and worry though, if you are still really worried later I'd ring again or maybe call your MW?

[Doodlepants]

Morning!
Hope you get a better nights sleep tonight Anna!
Jenni- I'm sooooo jealous! I saw a huge yacht in the background when I was watching F1 yesterday- was that you?! Don't feel too old, I know who prince is! I felt old the other day- my brother said he'd never heard of opal fruits!
Good luck at scan today Dan-O!

I love your avatar Doodle!

I'm 20, and I've heard of prince and Opal Fruits!

Thanks hun! I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers them!x

 

[sparky32]

My midwife text back and she said "Hiya, i'm not the best to ask re pregnancy tests etc, sorry! When are you coming to see me, I can refer you to early pregnancy for a scan xx" pretty useless to be honest but heyho. I'm seeing her Thurs and my scan is booked for 2nd Dec although i have been offered one a week earlier which would be next week. I'm just gonna keep myself distracted, wait till the morning and take it from there.

Thanks girls xxx

 

[DragonMummy]

afternoon all. decided to be a good girl and bring loads of fruit to work to snack on. naturally now all i can think about is crisps....

 

[fifi-folle]

Woo hoo! Got my first mw appointment made, surprisingly they have an appointment for Thursday! Of course I also have dentist on Tuesday, Recurrent Miscarriage Nurse on Wednesday then that on Thursday. Busy week for appointments!

 

[Britt11]

I've just done something incredibly stupid and so wish i hadn't as its left me totally freaking out!! I pee'd on my last CB digi and its gone from 3+ on Friday to 1-2 today. That isn't good is it? It was about the 4th time i had pee'd this morning and the urine was quite clear and also it took forever for it to come up after it registered pregnant. I'm so worried i don't know what to do. Its a huge jump even for diluted urine xxx

Sparky- those digital tests are evil....they can be quite misleading. I put mine away after I saw the 3+ and I couldnt do it again, too stressful. It does say you have to do them with FMU. I think if you are feeling good and have no distress signs all is probably great- if you want to put your mind at ease maybe a blood HCG? although my doctors did not believe in those even and just said to me wait for the first u/s as that is much more reliable

Starry- my goodness sounds like you have been through a lot, I have heard of women having internal bleeds that are unrelated to the pregnancy. glad your #'s are good.

Good luck with the scan Dan-o how exciting I remember how nervous but also excited I was for mine last week, it really put my mind at ease when the tech said there was a baby in there with a HB of 131bpm.

good luck with the rest of the scans, lots are coming up this week!!

Thanks Britt, i think i'm gonna go with that notion otherwise i will drive myself nuts. I have my scan in 2 weeks so will just wait for that also i had my bloods done last week and the doctor was really happy with the results so unless i have cause for concern i should really relax xxx

 

[Blue_bear]

I think im going to have to persevere with the sea bands then if other people are getting good use out of them. Felt pretty rough most of today, still craving ready salted crisps....
Will probably be sick on route to scan in the morning, but i am so excited i dont care!

Sparky - Good luck with repeating the test in the morning

Dragon Mummy - We are on the same day

And in answer to the earlier question, I am 24 in feb, hubby is 38, been together 5 years but got married 2 months ago
