Two - Hope the weekend flies by and good news on Monday

 

[GettingBroody]

Two - so glad the bleeding has eased off now and turned brown. I would take that as a good sign too but I'm sure you won't relax properly til you've seen proof on the screen Fx'd they can see you early on Monday morning so you're not waiting around all day. And hope the bleeding/spotting eases even more today

Hi ladies! Mind if I join? I'm pregnant with our first and due in May (at some point!!)

 

[almosthere]

of course jess-welcome and congrats!!!!

 

[Jesss123]

Thank you

Might as well write a little bit about me..

We've been trying for a year or so, few miscarriages, some chemicals, I have a blood clotting disorder for which I'm getting treatment for during this pregnancy and so far, so good! Because of my wonky cycle ( I ovulated really late, past CD25 ) I am anywhere from 11 weeks to 13 weeks, going from LMP I should be 13 but on last scan I was measuring two weeks behind.. so I'm sticking to 10-11 weeks. I have my '12 week' scan in just over a week so they'll finally give me an exact due date! I'm just hoping to be out of first trimester soon! This is our first as well so we're very excited!

 

[almosthere]

So happy to hear everything is going smoothly with baby right now! Sorry to hear about your previous losses. You must be due in early May then-so exciting, can't wait to hear your official DD!

 

[GettingBroody]

Welcome Jess!! Congrats! Good luck at your scan!

Welcome, Jess and congrats!!!

Two, so sorry about the bleeding and hope everything is okay. Did you by any chance just go off the progesterone? My friend had a bit of bleeding when she went off progesterone and she was very scared, but her sister-in-law, who is a midwife, said that is very, very common. Regardless, I know it's something you definitely want to get checked out, but if you did go off the progesterone recently, hopefully this might ease your mind.

Thanks all for your reply, the bleeding continued till last night and turned red again. But has almost stopped now. Signoral I was o progesterone but I went off it three weeks ago and had no bleeding from it. Well it's Monday morning so will be calling the hospital maternity where my care is and see what they think is best to do. Thanks again and will update later

 

[Jesss123]

Thanks everyone.

Two, I also had loads of bleeding with this pregnancy, I had a proper period, twice and the baby is still ok. Best of luck!

 

[No Doubt]

Welcome Jess and congrats!

Two I hope everything is going ok for you hun.

 

[TwoRdue]

Thank you, I rung the hospital as I am secondary care and they guy on the ph (my specialist is away today) said "what do you want me to do about it and why are you ring here"? Hello because its up to you guys to do something. I then had to explain all about my last pregnancy and why I was under secondary care and after all that he asks for my name and checks it all out on the computer anyway, I was so pissed. Anyways he finally set me up a scan for tomorrow morning and then an appointment at the early pregnancy unit after the scan.

 

[TwoRdue]

Jess - That must freak you out? They say that 1 in 4 pregnancy have bleeding but I always ask myself am I on the good side of it or not.... They say not to stress in pregnancy but how can you not there is so much going on

 

[No Doubt]

Wow, what douche. I swear I hate people in the medical profession. They have no compassion sometimes.

 

[Jesss123]

Two, wow, that guy was a complete a**!

It did, the first time it happened, I just went to A&E and said 'I'm miscarrying'. I was wrong! Second time I was sceptical but I didn't have my hopes up and once again baby was ok! I had about 5 different bleeds/spotting/light AFs since I found out I got pregnant and baby is just fine! I listened to bubbas crazy heartbeat yesterday! 173bpm


AFM, I fainted today, AGAIN. I'm suffering from severe MS and I've been off work for weeks and will most likely be off until this goes away, which could be when I give birth I'm hoping it buggers off soon, anyway, because I can't keep anything down my blood pressure drops really low and well, I pass out. It happens at least twice a day. I hurt my knee really badly I mean it is BLACK, after it finally stopped bleeding It hurts like hell.

I also tried to find LO's heart beat on doppler and couldn't. I caught it for a sec then he/she had to move! I'm gonna stick to checking it in the morning only when I have a completely empty stomach & full bladder, my other attempts to find it seem to fail

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Welcome Jess!

Hope everyone is doing well

 

[almosthere]

twordue-what a rude man-sorry scheduling for tomorrow was such a pain!

jess-glad to hear baby is well even though you have bleeding. My SIL has a beautiful healthy baby boy, almost 1.5 now, and she had periods at least up to her 5th month of pregnancy!!!

 

[GettingBroody]

Wow Two, what a little s**t!!! So much for bedside manner! Sorry they couldn't check you out today. Very glad to hear bleeding seems to have stopped though

Jess - ugh, you sound like you're having a rough time of it. All that fainting must be scary. Mind yourself and your little bean!

Afm, we cooked dinner last night for the 4 grandparents-to-be! Had a really nice evening And I'm on midterm for a week now so no work today

How's everyone else doing?

 

[t84]

Welcome Jess!

Two let us know how your scan goes today

AFM I'm feeling good. Just sore boobs and frequent bathrm trips. It's funny bc I feel like I had more pregnancy symptoms when I wasn't pregnant.
Still counting down until our first scan in 2 weeks (I'm rounding a little it makes me feel better ). Ready for precious baby to become a sweet pea this week... Oh how I love the milestones! I've been watching Mad Men like crazy this past weekend - it's very good. Hope everyone else is doing well so far!!
