@3boys bleeding is just awful!!! So glad all is ok!

 

[Suggerhoney]

Lovely scan @MrsKatie u were so blessed to fall strait away with a healthy bub. Definitely cherish every second.

@3boys
Oh no seeing blood when pregnant is the worst. I had bleeding at 6 weeks and again at 14+5 weeks with my last pregnancy and it put the fear of God in me. I’ve never seen blood in pregnancy unless I’m going to miscarry and after suffering 4 very early losses b4 falling with him you can only imagine what state I was in.
Thankfully all it was was a small cervical erosion. Got told it’s very common.
Hope there will be no more bleeding from now on.

Oh Laura I hope you get some relief soon.

i woke up yesterday morning to bleeding which sent me in a panic. I haven’t registered with the local hospital and was sure I read somewhere that they don’t scan in a&e they just refer you to epu. So hubby and I drove 3 hours to my old hospital. They had 1 doctor for the entire maternity hospital as it was a Sunday which meant a long long wait and because of covid hubby had to wait in car. Thankfully all was fine. Lovely to see baby has grown arms and legs since last scan.

I’m sorry to read you had a scare. I’m so glad all is ok with baby.

I’ve just been taking one tablet a day. Yesterday wasn’t too bad and I managed to eat but the day before I took 2 and they didn’t do a thing.

Today I think I’m 7 weeks 4 days and all night I’ve had strong period pain in my lower stomach and all in my back. There’s no bleeding thank god but I’m terrified everytime I go to the loo that there will be because these are so uncomfortable. I know you can get cramps with things stretching but these are freaking me out. I don’t have my first appointment until Thursday. Did any of you other ladies experience this around this stage. I’m so worried about it

 

[MrsKatie]

@Laurabub84 i absolutely got nasty scary cramps around 7.5 weeks that kept me up all night. I was terrified. Actually got them again last night! Feeling baby move now which helps but it still absolutely terrified me!

 

[MrsKatie]

@Suggerhoney hi beautiful I so appreciate your checking in, and yes I am so grateful and in awe every single day that it happened the way it did. Still can’t believe it. I am praying for You sweetie

Mild cramping and light bleeding tonight and I'm really trying not to worry. The bleeding alone is light enough it wouldn't concern me too much but my brain can't reconcile any non worrying reasons for cramping. When it first started it was ambiguous enough I wasn't sure if it was just constipation, but then after I noticed the blood it became more apparent that it's regular uterine cramping.

I did a deep clean of a bathroom/ washroom today and used strong bleach and was so paranoid because of the fumes. The things I don’t usually think twice about now I’m worried it will harm the baby so will have to try using some more organic products so I stop worrying. I’m 5 weeks today and went to the doctor to start the process and only have to wait two more weeks for the early scan. So excited. I haven’t taken a test since last week so hoping it’s still positive and all is okay x the first trimester is hard! Can’t wait to start being able to feel it moving around.

Thanks for the reassurance. Was a horrible day of it yesterday but feeling better today and I’m still feeling the sickness strong. I went back and skimmed through my due date group with my son and I worried about exactly the same thing at exactly the same stage, 7 weeks and 4 so that was reassuring. Guess it’s everything stretching. I’ll be so glad to get into the 2nd tri now. Really struggling through each day and I’m feeling so guilty that dh is having to do almost everything at the moment. Morning sickness is so debilitating. Can’t wait to be able to function normally again and start enjoying being pregnant

it’s so scary to see any bleeding in pregnancy. I know I had a small amount of spotting 2 days before my scan at 11 weeks. If you are at all worried I would just be seen for your peace of mind. I hope it’s just stretching and you have no more bleeding

I hope everything’s okay I looked it up and saw a few ladies saying the same thing. Makes sense if they’re growing so much at that stage and hormones are changing a lot too. Hope the cramps don’t last too long. Looking forward to the part of enjoying the 2nd trimester not too long for you hun xx


@3boys Sorry About the bleeding that’s scary hope it stops soon. Must have been a long day not what you want to do on your Sunday but glad you have the peace of mind definitely worth it xxx

@NDH I’m sorry love, hope you can get in to get looked at so you can relax.

The cramps have gone today but my morning sickness seems to have ramped up. I’m struggling so bad today. I’ve only dared eat a couple of plain digestive biscuits and they’ve come up and now I’m just left dry heaving because there’s nothing left. My chest hurts so it’s panicking me now everytime I need to be sick. The tablets aren’t doing anything at all. I have my first appointment at 1:00 tomorrow and I just don’t know how I’m going to be able to leave the house and have to travel in the car feeling like this. I’ve done ok taking a day at a time but this is by far the worst day and now the thought of going on like this for weeks more I don’t know how I’m gonna cope.. I’ve had dh at home the last few days and he’s been doing everything but he has to go back to work Friday night for 5 nights. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m so desperate to be past this stage. I always forget just how bad the sickness can be

Omg hun you may have to go into hospital Im so sorry sounds terrible. I hope you can manage to get into your appointment so your doctor can see how bad it is

 

[AlwaysTheAunt]

@NDH im really hoping for you the cramps and bleeding go away and everything is ok. Will you go get checked? How far along are you?

@Laurabub84 im sorry the tablets aren't helping i was knocked for 2 days just from nausea can only imagine how hard it is vomiting on top all day. I hope it eases up sooner rather then later.

@MumwithPCOS yay for early scan! I atill have almost 3 weeks to my first scan. Im so worried something will be wrong by the time it rolls around. Feel like i had more of a bump with my first so its stressing me even though im so early its common to not have much of a belly yet.

@3boys im so glad the scan was ok! Bleeding is scary during pregnancy.


Nausea has been kicking my butt the last few days, finally vomited yesterday morning but managed to have a high energy day. Got knocked over by the pup yesterday too then had some cramping last night (very mild) so kind of had me a little worried. Praying it doesnt knock me when im further along as the baby would be quite protected atm. Forgot how stressful having a pup is! Its a houdini, every way we block it getting out it finds another way. I think we finally have it covered now to stay in the backyard.

 

[NDH]

Still cramping but there hasn't been anymore bleeding since early this am, and only the smallest amount then.
Haven't had a chance to get into hospital to be checked with DHs work schedule. He's self employed and while sometimes that gives him nice flexibility for family time, it also sometimes means he's swamped and he can't leave his clients in the lurch when they need him, and unfortunately now is one of those times when he has a lot going on that he can't drop.

 

[NDH]

Laura I'm sorry you're having such a miserable time with the nausea and the meds aren't helping . So miserable.

 

[mbrew180]

@Laurabub84 I'm so sorry you're going through that! It does sound like you have the makings of Hyperemesis and being so dehydrated can make you cramp, so if tomorrow is just as bad I would advise being seen either by your doctor or emergency.

@NDH I'm glad you've had no more spotting/bleeding, it sounds promising!

 

[mbrew180]

AFM, I finally called today to make an appointment, I wanted to wait until I was passed 5 weeks, and after the funeral. Also, I was going to switch OB care to a friend of mine/midwife that trained me but I've decided to continue with my old midwife so I can deliver at my old hospital (hopefully), but I was putting off talking to her about it, but she was cool about it!

I'm nervous to go to my usual Midwife because I put on a lot of weight this year and my BMI went from around 38 to 42 and I know overweight pt's make her nervous, and I have terrible white coat syndrome and my blood pressures at home are normal and then 130-140/90 in the office and I'm afraid of all the implications of that!

 

[NDH]

I just birthed my sweet baby at 14 weeks 3 days. Though from the size I suspect maybe closer to 12 weeks. This is my 8th loss but first this late.

Good luck to the rest of you as I will be leaving this group, but I'll pop back in in April/May to see all the babies being born

 

[MrsKatie]

Oh @NDH I am in total shock and disbelief. I am So, so unbelievably sorry and heartbroken honey, there are just no words.

Nat I am absolutely heartbroken for you. It’s so unfair x
