Good luck with your scans Vicky & Shazza

I've had a horrioble couple of days. Just before I went to bed on Saturday night I had a lump of mucusy discharge which I thought looked a bit odd but decided not to worry about. Then I got up for the loo around 4am - there was pink when I wiped the first time and bright red blood after that. I was completely taken by surprise and just sat there in shock for a while but when I got up found the loo full of bright red blood. Woke OH up and spoke to EPU immediately but as I was in no pain and the blood stopped almost immediately we waitied until EPU opened on Sunday morning.

We narrowly missed out on a scan slot (limited on a Sunday) but I had an internal which showed my cervix was closed, but there was some evidence of erosion which could explain the bleed. I got them to check baby's heartbeat we left feeling quite reassured but assumed it was a one-off.

Then early evening yesterday I started to get lower back ache and again in the night I had quite a lot of bleeding. Back to EPU this morning and they refused me a scan but found the heratbeat again and sent me home with plenty of reassurance that this could go on for a while but needn't have a bad outcome.

Dreading going to bed tonight...

Oh Mojo what a scare I can't believe they refused you a scan! Lots of love x

OMG nic 17 days to go x

Morning ladies! It's all kicking off in Winter babies, we have bundles arriving thick and fast So excited!

I noticed that. Is it making you impatient yet?

So much so that this morning I had to check whether the breast pump worked. I can confirm that my left boob is loaded and ready to fire

 

[mislaww]

Lol Nic! Congrats?

Good luck to Vicky and Smiley!

Mojo - so sorry to read about your ordeal. Fingers crossed it's absolutely nothing.

 

[Tulip]

Cheers!

 

[Minimin]

Mr Mojo- hope it is nothing- sounds like you have had a few rough days. I hope you find it resides and get some sleep tonight.

Tulip- Left cylinder all ready and firing- :lmao: how brilliant is that. I can feel how ready you are to meet lil man

Think I felt something that may be a kick today and last night- More like mini internal electric shocks! Onee last night and once just one. Also more bubble poppings today Is it babba?

 

[Mrmojo1971]

OH suggested we try to catch up on our sleep so I've just had an hour an and half of peaceful sleep, but now I'm bleeding again - has anyone heard of bleeding that only happens when you lie down ? It seems very strange and I'm wondering if I should try to sleep sitting up instead ?

 

[Firedancer41]

Mrmojo-sorry you've had a scare-hope all is well; it sounds pretty reassuring that baby's HB is strong...hopefully the bleeding will dissapate and set your mind more at ease...

 

[Firedancer41]

Had my monthy dr. visit today...Dr. is still not concerned about the dating discrepancy on my U/S, so my original 3/4 due date still holds. Baby's HB was in the 140s, next is my 1 hr. blood glucose test in a couple weeks, and back to the dr. in 3. And my HBP is still well-controlled...

 

[lightweight]

Had my 16 week midwife appointment today. Midwife found the heartbeat really easily! BP still slightly high but lower than last time.

Feeling more re-assured again, as had a 4 week gap from the 12 week scan!! Seeing consultant (regarding recurrent miscarraige medication etc) on Wednesday, and then another 4 week gap to the 20 week scan!

 

[braijackava]

I also have my 20 week ultrasound tomorrow! About 25 hours to go. We will be finding out what we are having!

 

[Beadette]

Good luck to all the ladies with scan's this week!

MrMoJo - what an awful time you've been having..............I really hope that the bleeding stops and you can start to feel more reassured. I know I would panic like mad in the same situation - hugs x x x x x

AFM - Had my 16 weeks MW apt this morning. All well and she found HB straight away and said it was lovely and strong and my uterus feels spot on for 16 weeks.

I'm having a very stupid wobble though.......................please don't laugh at me when I say this. I can't help but worry. I'm worried that there is something wrong because bubs doesn't move - now I know that sounds stupid but at my 12 weeks scan bubs stayed dead still all the way through. And when I use the doppler the HB is always in exactly the same place - I don't need to search for it at all. I know i'm being completely stupid but i can't help how I feel. I suppose if I could feel bubs moving this would stop me feeling this way but at the moment I can't. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll start getting battered by baby bead and it will put my mind at rest.

I also had a wobble the other night because a lot of my friends are pregnant at the moment and all their odds for downs seem much better than mine and its stressed me out. Even though I'm still low risk at 1 in 1800. I'm the same age, weight, fitness etc as they are and they are getting 1 in 22,000 etc.

I'm sorry for being a div - I really am. When I'm thinking rationally I know what i'm writing now seems so stupid but I feel I need to write them down and then I can see for mysef. Has anyone else had these completely irrational thoughts????? Please say i'm not crazy x x x x x x x

 

[mushmouth]

Hey hun - my downs results are exactly the same as yours and fiiiiiine!

And up until say 18 weeks my bubbas hb was always in the same place - now I can rarely find it but that's as I have anterior placenta and I figure it's gotten much bigger lately - and she was perfectly fine on Friday at my scan!

Xx

Hugs Mojo, hoping this passes quickly for you hun-

Bead, at my 12w scan my LO didn't move either, at the time i was unconcerned as i'd seen the HB, but as time went on i got more and more worked up about it! Of course all is good, i've a feeling Vickyd went through the same with her LO, i think you've just got a baby whose found his/her comfy grove in there! xx

Good luck for upcoming scans!!

Nice to hear the bangers are fully loaded Tulip, leathal weapons!! xx

Hi to all!! xx

Min, yes that sounds like baba making their presence felt!! xx

 

[Tulip]

Darling Neen it's perfectly normal to worry. Do you remember me stressing because Munch never moved away from the Doppler? I thought he was either paralysed or deaf. You'll feel him soon sweetie x

You're not crazy, I promise!! I felt sick with myself that i hadn't asked to go for a walk and see if i could be scanned again to see baby move, i don't have a doppler so i had to wait to see my MW at 15w to hear HB again and i figured if HB was still ok then then baby must be, this baby lark really screws with you!
Big hugs hun xx

 

[Minimin]

Bead I felt the same- and still do- dont think babba is moving enough and there are tons of threads where women say they can feel their little ones all the time
Sure they are doing ok hun Getting HB on doppler is a good sign xxx

 

[Rainbowpea]

to mojo hope the bleeding stops and it's good news the heartbeat is still going strong. xx

beadette i'm having a wobbly day too. cried my eyes out because i saw on the news that lily allen lost her little one, i think she would have been about as far along as me. then i stupidly went and read the second trimester loss forum. wailed even more. i don't think i could cope with losing this one (and I have no real reason to think i will but that still doesn't stop me from stressing!) I'm sure your little one just loves to sleep! that'll be a good thing when they're here!

it's also nearly the anniversary of the day we lost our little pea, i keep thinking about what i was doing this time last year and how i was blissfully unaware anything was wrong. i want our little pea back so badly

xx

Another one here really shaken up about Lily Allen...the poor girl.

Neen - I can't tell you not to worry because i think you always will, but maybe baby bead is just a snoozy bean and chilled out!

I actually have some good news today....I heard the baby's heartbeat this afternoon!!!! I have my MW appointment on thurs and was a bit worried they wouldn't find it, and I happened to be at my mate's house and she still has her doppler so we had a listen and after a few minutes there it was!! Such an amazing feeling and sound, it was so much louder and stronger than I thought! Just wish my husband was there really...
