Ah I'm sorry your unwell and not getting much sympathy. It sucks. I'm still not feeling well. I just can't wait to feel normal again, it's affecting my mental health badly . I don't have a partner but my family are sympathetic although I think they are exhausted too from helping me out with my lg. I keep thinking this is the week I will feel better and then it doesn't happen.

Since I got my BFP I've had thick discharge daily and it often has a very light green colour I also have pain down there alot like throbbing and I have to sit down to ease it I've had antibiotics and my urine is now clear but am still having these symptoms and the midwive doesn't seem concerned. You should still get it checked your midwive might be more helpful than mine

I had an exam two weeks ago, but had spotting at the time too...so discharge was all brown instead of greenish. And then it went away...only started back up this weekend...I have an app with my specialist Thursday, so will be asking her then

 

[kmpreston]

I've had a lot of discharge. In fact I'd say it's increasing in quantity. Most days it's been reasonably creamy and white/off yellow. A week or two ago though it was really really thick and pale green. I was worried by it but it went away before I could see a doctor. The whole thing is driving me insane though, sick of feeling wet and sticky (sorry tmi but a daily liner only helps so much)

We had a private scan today and found out baby is a little boy. Team blue this time around!

 

[PrincessTaz]

Livvy that's so funny because my mum did the exact small thing to me lol. I'd said a thousand times that I wanted to see baby's gender myself without anyone telling me but she was so excited she screamed it as soon as he was out lol.

Miranda I've noticed changed to my cm, it's not been green but definitely darker absolutely I've had some that's a darkish yellow colour. If you're still worried it won't hurt getting a second opinion.

Sarah0108 they really just don't always get it, it can be infuriating though. I'd love them to be able to experience what we go through, they would last a week let alone 9 months!

Justplay congratulations on team

Ladies I've been feeling so sore and achey around my ribs and tummy all day. I'm guessing it's to do with stretching and growing but I don't remember it with my first. Been feeling more flutters tonight which was lovely, just wish they were more frequent xx

 

[mirandaprice]

Congrats on team blue!

I have an app tomorrow with my main obgyn, the lady I saw two weeks ago is part of the practice but a different dr. I doubt he'll be concerned, he's so laid back about things...he acted like my spotting was just a minor hiccup while I was flipping out with anxiety.

This damn hurricane has us in its path right now for its most recent forcast, hoping it veers off more east, but not holding my breath. We're already getting crap weather from it, and it's not set to hit until thursday

 

[broodymrs]

Congrats on team blue justplay!

Stay safe Miranda. Hurricanes scare me. We had the weather from one once on holiday in Turks and Caicos but didn't actually get hit. I'd have really freaked out I think!

 

[justplay91]

That's scary, Miranda. Stay safe. We don't get hurricanes here, but we do get tornados. Mother nature can be scary!

I had such a fright yesterday. I had some spotting. Having had a mc last year and then IVF for this baby, I felt like my world was ending. After a long wait in A&E, I was told my baby is fine (Doppler not scan) and I need to take some time off work. Not surprising since earlier in the day a kid kicked a chair at me, missed, then picked it up and hurled it across the room. I can't deal with this kind of thing right now. The various stresses of being a teacher are normally just part of the job, but it's all different now. I'm got my first appointment with the consultant tomorrow, so I'll just take today and tomorrow off for now, but I may need longer. I feel hideous to let my colleagues down, but my baby is more important.

 

[ARROW]

Ladies stay safe there is nothing more important than the little one now!

On a happy note... i think a selfie of my princess is in order... i seriously think she likes to take photos
what shocked me most was the Doc said i was 18.5 weeks but i am 17 weeks ....then she told us... well looks like she is going to be a big girl!!! Idk how i feel yet about that because i am rather small and the doc was informing me about c-sections....

 

[broodymrs]

Arrow that was the situation I had. Big baby, smallish mummy! Planned section this time 😀

Oh Ellie, how frightening. Definitely take some time off

I'm not doing great. Got awful insomnia, was awake from 230 last night. Just can't function. Literally going to work, coming home and sorting ds then going to bed myself. I have no life, falling behind in my studies. I just keep crying. Dh says to get signed off but I'd feel bad. Although work don't care about me, not even had a risk assessment yet

 

[salamander91]

Congratulations on team blue!

I'm getting so frustrated with my hospital. My consultant team are great. I see my diabetic consultant fortnightly and my obstetric consultant every 4 weeks so they're looking after me well but the hospital is totally screwing up my routine apps! I've yet to have my booking app and they haven't booked my 20 week scan yet so who knows when that will be

 

[mirandaprice]

Glad all is okay elliecain, spotting is so scary.

 

[sarah0108]

Broodymrs I also am suffering badly with just crying and insomnia! I genuinely feel like I never feel happy and I'm always moaning, although I am happy? Hormones are a pain in the ass!

I'm also at a stage where I fee so wobbly and fat, I'm starting to get a pregnant look about me but everything else just feels blobby and gross and I'm Inbetween normal clothes/thenext size up and maternity!

I'm feeling ridiculously moany today. It's the mil effect though. I've never met a more miserable woman and it rubs off! Think positive thoughts!!

In good news my GTT was ok so I don't have GD. Yay! Still have to be retested at 28 weeks though 😩

 

[TattyHead]

Stay safe Miranda, hope you've stocked up if your anything like me right now..eating everything in sight!

A few days off should do you good Elliecain, if you need more take it, I had almost 2 months off because of hyperemesis & felt awful because of it, but healthy baby & happy mummy are more important.

I've felt so much movement today, it's been amazing & the movement's have been pretty strong! Maybe little legs pushing out?
I had my first consultant appointment yesterday & it went pretty well. My consultant is really lovely & seems very thorough. I even got to listen to baby's heartbeat. It was 153bpm & exactly at the spot I told them I thought baby was.

 

[Oxygen7880]

EllieCain hope they spotting has stopped. Take care of yourself.

I'm still feeling exhausted and sick. Had a rough day yest. Was on the bus with my lg. She was having a bit of a meltdown about not being able to sit where she wanted. She eventually calmed down and we got off. On the way off I overheard two elderly ladies saying how 'there children never acted like that and how a good slap was needed'. I didn't have chance to say anything back and I am by nature non confrontational. She's only a toddler and they do act out, esp when tired. Anyway it really bothered me after. I'm not feeling great mentally at the mo as it is and it left me feeling pretty crap.

On a brighter note, my midwife came this morning and we listened to baby. The heartbeat was so loud and strong and then he gave a little kick (we heard it, I couldn't feel it) and then he moved. Guess we woke him up lol.

 

[Ellivort]

Sorry to hear you ladies are having a rough go. My tears have all but dried up, but my pregnancy rage is alive and well, but its exhausting. It takes all my energy to not tell people exactly what I think and I use what little patience I can muster to keep a sane home environment, so there is nothing left at work.

I think I'd take tears instead, but really hormones in pregnancy are the worst. I'm sure next week my rage will melt back into puddles and puddles of tears! lol

Right now I'm really struggling with my GD diagnosis and that has me really frustrated. My day time numbers with insulin are great, but I can't get my overnight dose right and still wake up with sugar that is too high after sleeping, which means feeling icky first thing.

I've switched to almost all low GI carbs, there is no way I could go no carb, but I decided I'd only eat carbs rated low and that seems to help in the day.

Overall its very stressful because I know I still have at least 24 weeks (i hope)to manage it and I'm frustrated after only a week. I sure hope it gets easier!

 

[broodymrs]

Oxygen that would have really p***ed me off. If anyone needs a good slap it's those judgemental cows! Funny how many perfect parents there are in hindsight or who don't yet have kids.

Sorry you're struggling with the GD. It must be miserable elli
