Congratulations and welcome!!

I have my midwife appointment tomorrow! See if she can help me with figuring out my due date!

Felt so queasy today I have eaten about 10 ginger bears and I think they have had the effect of blocking up my bowels rather than preventing morning sickness...and I thought it was difficult enough with the extra iron from the pregnancy vitamins to go to the toilet. I guess I can now add constipation to my symptoms.

 

[mummyclo]

Queasy, queasy, queasy!
Nearly puked in the shower yuck!
Hope everyone is well and not feeling too sick x

 

[whigfield]

Yay and welcome to the new BFPs!

@Lauki - Oooo, let me know how it goes! I have mine on Friday.

@Libbysmum - Sorry your OH is being difficult! My OH doesn't have a choice as I don't drive so he *has* to come to every one. Another thing is that OH told his boss that we are finally pregnant after years of trying (we also told him we were beginning fertility treatment), and have also told him that I'm having a lot of complications (bleeding) this pregnancy so he is more leninent with allowing OH days off. Luckily though OH has saved up a lot of leave and has a lot to use before April.


@mummyclo - Feel better soon! (Or don't.. I guess MS is a relief in a way?! )

Still no MS for me. Almost jealous of you ladies with it! Grass is always greener though, isn't it??

Bleeding is slowing down again to very light, brown spotting. I'm not counting my chickens though - it seems to do this and then speed up again. I spoke to the doctor today and he also said that, because I've been bleeding for so long now, it's unlikely to be m/c since it would have happened already. We just think I'm going to be a "bleeder".

More bright red bleeding with a clot today.. Pulled the clot apart to check there was no baby.. It's so scary bleeding like this. I was told to expect more blood but it's so hard - I don't know if this is the beginning of a m/c or just "normal" for me..

I've exhausted options with doctors/hospitals at the moment so it's just a "wait and see". I had more clotting than this on Saturday and saw a healthy bean so hoping it's just my body bleeding out that area we saw on the scan.

I have no pain though, which I know is good. Can you even m/c without pain?

 

[serenity9712]

try not to freak out about bleeding, again i bleed with clots for 4 months! i was on bedrest and was instructed to lay down except to go potty and get something quick to eat. well actually was told only to potty but i had to feed myself.... i had a boy and i had TERRIBLE morning sickness to the point before my eyes opened i wwas running to the bathroom to puke. keep yourself distracted as much as possible or you can cause issues upon yourself. i noticed if i laid down the bleeding slowed andtandturned dark brown but the more i was up moving which wasn't much i bleed red and clotted. pick up a new craft if you don't already do it. crochet, knitt, cross stitch, paint the ceramic christmas houses. watch tv, crossword puzzles. but yes its possible to bleed that long and not miscarry. doctors kept telling me its likely to end up in a m/c. and i proved them wrong. no idea why i bled or anything but i was in for frequent appts and ultrasounds. and he was my first born (3rd pregnancy) and he's a healthy smart boy now. but then again I'm always high risk when i hit about 8-9 weeks it'll start. and i have what's called precipitous deliveries. my longest labor was with my son at 5 1/2 hrs , then my 2nd child was 45 mins (barely made it to hospital) & my last was 3 1/2 hr labor. and my girls were 2 pushes. my son i pushed for an hr i believe that was because the cord was around his neck twice they had to pull it away in between pushes. it sucked but all 3 were healthy perfect apgar scores.

basis of it keep yourself calm do some sort of low activity thing to entertain yourself and hope for the best.


at my scan at 6 wks 1 day there was barely anything. just a small blob, & seeing it doesn't necessarily mean a m/c won't happen. it is not really in our hands anyways its in gods hands and things happen for a reason. I've had 5 mc & i have 3 living children and had been trying for 3+ years. yes it sucked but i feel , hat much more blessed and thankful!.

sorry if i offended anyone or anything but I've wanted to say that and i tend to be quiet in here and just watch what everyone says.

i have my full OB appt thursday tho. and dh finally gets to meet the doctor that's been helping us get pregnant. she's a blessing!

if anyone has questions ask away and ill try and answer the best i know. but I'm blunt usually just to warn you

 

[luminescent]

ilovehim- congrats! that's great I just went for my second appt to find out if my hcg levels have gone up since friday also. give me some of your good luck, haha!

whigfield- I'm still spotting as well (just pink, no more bleeding) but passed a small clot yesterday. have had no pain/cramps whatsoever. we seem to be in the same boat still. think positive!

congrats to those with new bfps!

 

[junemomma09]

Ilovehim-that's so great hun! Very happy for you! I know we're all looking forward to seeing your scan photo

Whigfield- I'm sorry you're still bleeding and worried. I bled almost my entire pregnancy with my son. He's 3 1/2 now. I just had several reasons why I bled, it started when I was 13 weeks with softball sized clots and blood. I thought I had miscarried. I had not and they found a subchorionic hematoma, and placenta previa. Hope the bleeding stops for you

I'd have a due date of Aug 2, 2013 but there'd of course be a chance of having a July '13 birth!! Either way ~ we're just hopeful for a sticky ]

Really hope all is ok!
Good sign that bean was ok at the scan though but it's hard not to worry!
Hell I'd be a wreck if I was even spotting!

I got my :bfp on Nov 3rd was super excited and scared at the same time I'm high risk for ectopic from previous P.I.D still have both tubes but scared.I also had a blighten ovum last yr with low hcg levels eventually I m/c. So I went to the hospital Nov.4 for bad cramping took a pee test came back NEGITIVE so they suggested blood work they said I was about 3 weeks with hcg levels at a 49 and they were low to get them rechecked in 2-3 days did and ultrasound saw nothing really didn't tell me much so 3 days later I went to my clinic and got my levels tested again and they went up to 219 was really happy the nurse said they were great numbers but I need to be checked weekly. Still a little nervous about the numbers so I go this weds to see if they went up so let's hope this baby is safe and sound in my uterous and not in my tube. Thanks for reading my post and if anybody could let me now if you think my numbers are good that would help me threw my wait!!!!
