Ok im freaking out. I just went to the bathroom to pee and when i wiped i had red blood. I feel like im in a nightmare. Called my dr. Waiting. I have an us on Friday. Hoping maybe i can get in today. Im so worried. This isnt happening.

Don't worry, babybrain. I'm sure they get people who cancel on a short notice more often than you think. I've had to a few times myself

I'm done with Christmas shopping for everyone except my third. She is a hard one to buy for because she'd rather spend more time running around than playing with anything. She doesn't really have a "thing" right now.

I told my mother about my pregnancy since she is always the first person besides DH that I tell and her reaction this time was absolutely appalling. She said she thought for sure we were done after my fourth baby, started crying and cursed us for not getting "fixed" sooner.

Oh my gosh, that’s awful

Fingers crossed everything is okay!


Well, more paramedics went to the lads house who hurt my cat tonight. No idea what he’s playing at but they weren’t in a rush.

I’m really struggling to eat, I’ve not had a cooked meal in about 2 weeks. The cyclizine works but I always have stomach pain which makes me feel queasy and super drowsy. I’m having a bowl of pasta, tuna, sweet corn and cucumber tonight and that’s the first proper meal I’ve had for so long. Will this have any affect on the baby? The only symptoms I have is the nausea but I’m still worried.

Ultrasound in an hour and a half.

Good luck, Heather.

Good luck Heather! I'm so glad they were able to fit you in so quickly. I'm sure all is well and it was just some annoying spotting. Please keep us posted.

 

[Heather.1987]

I know people get upset that our healthcare isnt "free" here in the states. But i feel like I get great care and get in when i need to. An hour and counting. I had red blood when i wiped after i peed. Since then its just been super super light pink. Still expecting the worst.

 

[MissEyre]

Good luck Heather!

Praying for you heather

For my appointment today it's just with my GP. She will (maybe? I had one in the summer with my pregnancy so I'm not sure) do a pelvic exam/pap, make me pee in a cup to test for UTIs and what not, get my medical history, answer my questions, send me for blood work including my thyroid, send me for an ultrasound (which I have to book separately, won't be til early next week likely) and then she will refer me to a local practice of OBs who I'll transfer to their care at about 11-12w, and they'll deliver baby.

Spotting has mostly stopped on my end, maybe vvv light brown (tan) when I wipe once but nothing to write home about.

Oh good luck Heather, hope everything is ok. Xx

Ali hope your appointment is ok too, glad you're getting checked today. Xx

I didnt dye my hair last pregnancy but thinking about it just now. Christmas night out on Sat and its an over night.....so cant be bothered!! Im 37 and have quite a lot of grey, I started with grey hair around 18/19 years old too.

Might just leave it and call it my christmas sparkle

 

[BabyBrain80]

Wasn’t me lovely, it was Lilmiss x

 

[TexMel]

Fingers crossed for you, Heather!!

Alli, I know this doc won't do much, but I still hope for a stress free visit for you!

Lilmiss - what an awful reaction! Has she been like that about any of your previous? You are the one with a 2 month old, right? Hopefully she was just in shock and will be much nicer in the future!

I haven't even started Christmas shopping yet and I have about 15-20 people to shop for. Oooops! Amazon, here I come!

 

[Alligator]

Thanks tex! Hoping she will ease my fears a bit at any rate. This stage of pregnancy is so very nerve wracking.

 

[TexMel]

I can imagine. My sister and SIL and both of my aunts (not all blood related) had their first child easily and then all miscarried or had worse issues with their second. So, even though I haven't gone through a loss myself, I am still freaked out by that stat. My mom had 3 successful, uneventful pregnancies, so I'm holding out hope I am like her.

 

[Buffyx]

Alli - good luck with your appointment

Heather - good luck with your scan. Hoping that it is just some pesky spotting.

I am too excited that tomorrow is December! We will put up our tree and the kids will have their very first advent calendar.

 

[Four2Five]

Heather I am praying for you Did you dtd recently? Hoping it's nothing!!

I too went grey around 20 and I hate it, I'm a hairstylist for Gods sake I should have fab hair but honestly I can't be bothered with it much other than just covering the grey...I'm thinking if all is good at my appointment tomorrow I'll ask the midwife and see if it's okay, I really want it done before we announce and send out Christmas photos

 

[BabyBrain80]

So sorry Unique and lilmiss! Thats what I get for reading and replying fast! Was trying to bath the boys lol.

 

[JWC13]

I'm getting my hair colored on Saturday. I always get balyage so I'm not too worried about it since the color isn't touching my scalp. I've heard though that it doesn't really matter one way or another and that you are safe to color your hair all throughout pregnancy.

Praise the lord the baby is fine!!! Measuring 2 days ahead! So change me to the 25th please!! We also saw the little heartbeat beating at 117! She didn't see any bleeding on ultrasound. Everything measured and looked perfect! So relieved! They do want me to rest and drink lots of water. Now i wait til close to christmas for my first actual apt and next ultrasound.
