My ob/gyn appointment and scan were rushed. She had a resident there who talked with us first to see if we had any concerns, etc. The resident LIED to our ob/gyn. Devastated. We felt so unwelcome by the end. I will be seeing our ob/gyn every 2 weeks though until birth due to high risk.
 
red_head: I'll do some research to try and help. I know the government, law offices, and pharmaceutical companies all have jobs like these.
 
Thank you - you don’t have to research and I’m in the UK so I don’t know if you could but if you think of anything let me know :). It’s very sweet of you to offer. I’m just so stressed!

I’m sorry about your appointment - what did she lie about?
 
That really sucks, Red. Hopefully it will be a drawn out process (to get you to the cutoff). Lots of office jobs are allowing virtual workers, not sure what you're trained in but lots of fields have plenty of soft skill crossover so if there isn't anything in your field you could consider something else with a similar skill set.

It must be so stressful to have this added to your plate. Could you try signing up with a website that will email you postings for stuff you'd be interested in? Then you could browse them when you felt up to it without to much added effort? Even just looking can be stressful :(
 
red_head: I love helping people if I can and I know the job search is so overwhelming even when you aren't expecting!

She lied to my ob/gyn saying she couldn't find a heartbeat on the fetal Doppler! (We didn't even use it). My ob/gyn came in panicked, found the heartbeat on ultrasound for about 5 seconds then sent us on our way. I was so confused.

AFM: 12 weeks today. My constipation is horrible. :( When did everyone start having a baby bump that you could feel with your hands? Not necessarily see, I'm just excited to feel baby coming out.
 
Thanks all :) I’m too stressed atm to sign up to stuff which I know is ridiculous but I’m going to give myself a couple more days to try and calm down a bit then start hunting :)

Ursaula that’s very sweet of you. That’s really weird about her lying - I wonder if she did it because she doesn’t know how or was trying to be nice and get you a scan?
My bump is really weird - it’s very visible, although honestly I had a belly before anyway, but it’s grown quite a bit already (I’m only 15+5), but when I need a wee my lower stomach below the belly button is rock hard, but then after I’ve been it feels squishy, although it is hard closer to the button and slightly above it. I don’t know whether that’s just cos it’s risen higher or maybe I’m malfunctioning! Lol! I think it became noticeable as a proper bump about week 10 but really popped a couple weeks ago so I’m sure yours will be there soon :)
 
With both my first and this one, I started to feel it above my pubic bone at about 13 weeks. I took a few more weeks until I could feel it without really pushing down though. By about 16 weeks, the hardness was obvious with Finlo.
 
16 weeks!!! So incredibly excited. I can feel little kicks and flutters a lot more often now! Feeling much better today than I did over the weekend. The round ligament pains are getting more frequent :/ I was out for about 2 hours a day both Saturday and Sunday... could not get comfortable to save my life! It was pure misery. But will all be worth it in the end!

Here’s to another great week for all... we are well on our way.
 
That is exciting Mrscletus! I'm very much looking forward to feeling movement consistently, it's one of my favourite parts of pregnancy.

I told my manager at work today, she was happy for me. I let her know that she is only the 3rd person (besides medical professionals) that we've told. I also had to give her some of my history, because I'll be heading back to the MFM clinic so will likely need some extra time off.

We've decided to wait until Easter to start telling our families. But my in-laws are being a bit douche-y again, so we will likely wait a little longer to tell them. I'm not looking forward to one of my SIL's reaction, since I think she thought they'd have a good shot of getting everyone to start driving out to their place for Christmas again (it's a 5.5 hr drive, assuming good weather conditions and 1 brief pit stop). We will see.

Looking forward to telling my family though!
 
Lil- I know what you mean about douchy reactions. One of my nieces literally looked at my sister and said ‘why can’t it be you that’s pregnant’
I was blown away. No congrats, no hugs... just wishing it was my sister that was preggers. I mean I know she is a kid... but it was still pretty rude.
 
So a bit tmi and gross.....

But I’ve been so ‘wet’ down there.... I keep running to the loo but I’m not bleeding and it’s not gushing or anything, but for weeks I’ve just been constantly wet. Having to change my undies or wear liners. It’s really embarrassing! I know it’s only discharge as I naturally have quite a lot and during pregnancy it increases tenfold! And I know it’s probably also urine leakage a little too as being baby number 4, my pelvic floor just isn’t the same :(

I have my 16 week midwife appointment on the 6th April, should I wait until then to mention it or should I see a doctor sooner? I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge etc, but I do feel almost soaked sometimes!

I read that if it smells like ammonia then it’s urine, which it does so it’s probablybjust that? Think I need to be doing my pelvic floor exercises already!!! Oh dear! This doesn’t bode well for me when I get to term haha!!!
 
I've been doing progesterone suppositories, so I am getting tons of discharge too. I've been wearing a pad as I found panty liners weren't cutting it! I'm almost done with the progesterone now though, so I'm hoping it eases a bit.

I'd call and ask for your MW or doctor for their opinion though. Because of my history, I'm pretty sure my doctor would want me to come in to rule out an amniotic leak.
 
Red I&#8217;m so sorry. I don&#8217;t know what to say because there are no words, but I&#8217;m thinking of you and praying you find the strength to get you through. Please get help to deal with this, you don&#8217;t need to go through it alone and you will need a lot of support. With love <3
 
Oh Red, hugs and prayers to you. We are all here if you need us.
 
I am so sorry for your loss, red_head. You have had to go through so much. :hugs:
 
I&#8217;m so sorry Red. I hope you have the help and support you need to get through this heartbreaking loss.
