Nervous!!! I've been having some very light spotting since last evening. Most of it has been the light brown colour, but there was one bit (a bit smaller than a five pence) that was bright red. No more red since yesterday but still the pinky brown.... I didn't have any bleeding with my first and now I've already had what I think was implantation bleeding 4 days before AF was due and now this. I'm just worried that this is the beginning of it all going pear shaped.

I know a few of you are having spotting too so I'm going to try to read back through and piece it together but the thread has zoomed up recently, hard to catch up!

Don't worry about the spotting, the nurse assured me thy many woman experience this, it is just your uterus changing. He said it's even ok to have period like cramps with it.
My spotting has gone away. I know how nervous it can make you.

Hi everyone, mind if I join in? Got my BFP last week at 12 dpo
Think I'm due on 10th May

Hi Ankha

I'm 10th of May too.

Welcome!!!

im may 10th also

Thanks guys! It still hasn't sunk in properly - such an anti-climax when I went to the doctor's though, was expecting to make an appointment so the doctor could confirm, but instead I just got handed the Bounty pack, got asked when my LMP was and that was it! Is that normal? I know different areas work differently, but it's my first pregnancy so I have no idea what I'm doing!

Big hugs BeccaMichelle i've heard of lots of women having spotting but it's probrably easier said than done trying not too worry. Are you getting checked out?

Been so exhausted today too i think it must be a big growing day. I remember having days like that last time when i could barely function and i my little theory is they are babies big growing/development times. I had a lovely two hour nap this afternoon with my boys. Still feel like more though and my hearing keeps going funny like
i'm going to faint :-\

Hope you are all having lovely saturdays xxx

Yes, it can be pretty underwheliming at the Dr, mine doesn't even want to see you, you just get a midwife appointment for 8 weeks.

I'm hoping the later stages get a bit more exciting.

There dont tend to do alot, untill like 8+ weeks.. so its perfectly normal

AFM: urghhh all day ive felt SICK, sick to the point, that i feel like im slightly drunk and about to throw up!!! YUK yuk... i keep going dizzy also (ive never EVER had this before, so its all new to me).

I just went to make a cheese sandwhich (i LOVE cheese!!!, with my boys everything i ate had to have cheese on it and that love has continued lol)... and ive just Gagged at it!! :O not once but twice.. What the hell am i gonna eat lol?, i cant believe it, i never thought id see the day where i would gag at cheese so ive had toast and still feel sick!!!

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

I had a KFC early & that seems to have settled my stomach a little. Got some ginger biscuits in though. Just in case haha. Never had anything like this with Josh

 

[BeccaMichelle]

Thanks girls. *hugs* don't know what I'd do without ya. Hearing other peoples stories and experiences helps get me out of my own head. I just don't know what to think at all. There was the tiny bit of spotting last night. A little this morning and then it got more red about an hour ago. It's still not heavy or anything, barely a discolouring of the panty liner, but you can tell when you wipe. I don't really have any cramps, just feeling a bit yuck ya know? I know I need to stop worrying about it, because at this point if it's going to happen it's going to happen and there's nothing I can do about it, but I CAN try to control all those stress hormones I might be throwing at the baby for no reason right?

kezziek - the docs are closed for the weekend and it would cost over $150 to go to urgent care or the ER just for them to tell me there's nothing they can do. I'll call the OB Monday morning and see if they'd be willing to let me come in for some betas or an early scan or something.

I had a yeast infection during the 2ww that took forever to clear up and wasn't completely gone and then they gave me this cream to use, I only used it 3 times before the spotting started....

Really starting to wish I hadn't told my friend (she's the only one we've told so far- because she's about a month ahead of me) Less that I don't want to tell her if something goes wrong, but that I don't want her to have to feel bad for me for the rest of her pregnancy if something bad does happen.

My mom is talking about visiting tonight - driving four hours to visit for a day. Maybe she instinctively knew I needed her? Gonna be quite a blow to have to tell her I'm pregnant but it could be going bad all at the same time. erm. That's not positive thinking... IT's GOING TO BE OKAY!!! *breathe*

I was a little bit sicky feeling this morning for an hour or two. Nothing mega though.

Had some little Organix gingerbread men which seemed to help. And they're cute!!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

The cramps have really set in now. Had the same at 4-5 weeks last time so I'm not really worried as that baby had snuggled in to the lining well.

I can't bend over for long without it starting and I get a cramp or two if I sneeze or do other fast movements.

Snuckle in there little punkin!!!!

ive been experiencing the same, feels like ive pulled my stomach muscles. I got up the other day from sitting down and wow it hurt like mad for a few minutes then went... one night i rolled over in bed and OUCHHH lol... now ive got a cough and gotta hold my belly whilst i cough as it pulls.. Its weird!!

I was with some friends tonight and DH said that I've been really tired lately (had to leave early due to fatigue) and one of my friends asked if I was pregnant! I said "noooo"! I felt all nervous/excited and wanted to say YES!!! but I'm 5 weeks along and want to wait to say something. It'll be great telling her that I indeed was when she asked I'm going to wait until 12 weeks.

Good job not breaking! When faced with a direct question I would probably crumble every time! Here's hoping no one asks me!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Well done not saying!!

Luckily no one asked me outright last time. And if I was feeling rough I blamed it on my thyroid as people know I struggle with that.

Hopefully I can use the same tactic!

I'm struggling to keep my pregnancy under wraps. My family lives a distance away so when I have spoken to my mum and sister I have to bite my tongue and it's sooo hard. Then I have work, I have told my direct boss already as I am now on light duties but trying to keep it secret on my worksite for much longer won't be easy as people will start to notice that I'm not doing all my duties with no explanation.

 

[CupcakeBaby]

I know the feeling Foxy.

Part of me thinks don't tell anyone this time until 16-20 weeks.

But then when I M/C my parents were both heartbroken and I know this would make them sooo happy.

Also at work on Friday we got a big delivery of boxes of paper and everyone was taking a box and carrying it up to the office.

I just pretended like I didn't notice but I felt so guilty!!!

 

[Ankha]

I'm really struggling with deciding when to tell work. I know they'd probably be supportive, but I don't want everyone to know yet, especially as I haven't got my head round it all yet! I've got a desk job so no real worries about heavy lifting etc, but I sometimes help out in the lab (we burn bits of treated timber) and I don't know if I need to avoid this or not...any advice?

Morning ladies, feeling really disheartened this morning. Did the last test I had in the house and its even lighter than yesterday's so I'm certain that something is wrong. I've attached a picture of the last 4 of the same test that I did on 5+2 weeks, 5+3, 5+4 and 5+5 (today). So sad.
