Those TTC for awhile.

Could it be a large blobby bit of cm? I know it sounds gross but maybe it was that? X

Well, scan tech said cervix measuring upper 3's-good- and no funneling. He couldn't see any blood in that area either. Said placenta looks fine. Waitin to see dr. I fully expected to be dilated and in preterm labor. I am happily surprised. Still have to have dr look at the pics and see what he thinks. Also, didn't ask about baby as inwas too scared to get the ever familiar answer you have to speak to you dr which always means something is wrong. Techs here aren't allowed to tell you if something is wrong, only if they think it looks ok

Oh, baby weighs 13 oz

That sounds great!!! Sounds like there is no early labour going on so you can breath a sigh of relief!

Good to hear aswell that the placenta is still looking good. Momma did a good job healing!

im sure everything is perfect! When will you hear from the doc? xx

 

[moter98]

Not a chance. I've lost my plug before and know what it looks like. Also, this could not be confuse with cm. it is hard rubbery like with bright red blood in it.

 

[rooster100]

Oh right, so did the doc give you any clues to what has happened?

 

[moter98]

ok. cervix is 3.6 cm and no funneling. placenta looks normal. baby looks normal (doing the happy dance in my head) internal exam, cervix looks and feels normal. dr says it isn't the plug because cervix is completely closed so no way it could get out? he thinks cm. so i said why is it hard, rubbery and stringy and have bright red blood in it. he says, you are right, that's not normal. no explanation for that. so it's basically a big fat i don't know, BUT everything checks out normal. really nothing else they can do than what they already did. i am happy with the care i got today. they were very thorough. dr said he will set me up with a peri anytime i like. they come to clinic twice a week and are at hospital. he also said they wouldn't do anything different than he did. i will be having a scan at 24 weeks along with my reg appt to check cervical length and placenta.

 

[rooster100]

Fantastic news Moter! Couldn't be happier! Yeah!!! Little baby is sticking for another 20 weeks! Xx

 

[moter98]

i hope so! he keeps giving me quite the scare. still driving me a little nuts, with the no explanation answer, but also relieved everything looks ok

 

[moter98]

here's a couple pics from the scan. the one pic is the new technology they now have on their new machines.

 

[rooster100]

Those scans are incredible! What a little cutie!

 

[moter98]

thanks.

 

[sarahuk]

TINA!!!! Hes so gorgeous!!

I can imagine it must be frustrating not knowing whats going on! But its great to hear that everything is doing well hun!

My spotting got a bit heavier a while ago and got the af cramps going on again. I really hope this stops soon. It feels like its teasing me on purpose x

 

[moter98]

sarah, i think you should request a scan. i don't want to scare you, but it's a small possibilty it could be a subchorionic hematoma - basically a blood clot in the uterus. 90% of the time they bleed out or are reabsorbed by the uterus. cramping can be a sign of blood in uterus. NOT that it is that. i'm not trying to scare you, i just want you to know it's a possibility. they are actually pretty common in first tri. i read up alot about them when i had my tear. can you get in for a scan? i really think you should

 

[rooster100]

Sarah I'm so sorry to hear your having such a crappy time. I really hope it all stops ASAP! Would you think about getting another scan done? X

 

[rooster100]

Morning ladies,
How are you today Sarah? Anymore pain or bleeding? Have you thought about calling the doc? x
Moter hope your feeling better and reassured today
Faythe any sign of moving with that cheeky baby? X

 

[Faythe]

Nothing I'm afraid

Hope you're all doing OK

xx

 

[sarahuk]

Awww come on Shrimpette!! Mummy needs to cuddle you!!

Thanks Tina for the info..I did wonder about that! I was all set to call this morning but im totally spot free in all sense of the word and no AF aches Matt thinks im worrying over nothing (he would hes a man lol)...but the fact it stopped threw me because i was convinced I would wake up this morning to a mess.

I think Im going to see if it comes back through today. If it does, then im going to bypass the midwife and call epu up. Im all cuddled up in bed today cos I feel as hell and got a headache on top too. Hows my ladies today? xxx

 

[moter98]

faythe! that baby needs to come already!! i am officially gonna have to have a talk with him/her about the pain momma is going through. time to come on out now baby.

i'm doing better today, though i am terrified to "go" now since that's when it happened. gonna go see the triplets this morning hopefully. just waiting on finding out if my mom can meet us there as DS can't be in NICU and I need someone to watch him while I go in.

Sarah, great that the bleeding has stopped. if it starts again, demand an U/S! hope you feel better.

Rooster, are you still feeling sick?

 

[rooster100]

So exciting seeing the triplets! Hope your sis in law is well?
I'm feeling crappy still. So tired. This has been the worst week for sickness!
Having constant cramping which I'm not too worried about just unpleasant x

 

[sarahuk]

So exciting about the triplets Tina! Cant wait to hear about it

Aww Rach..yep the cramping is a pain in the but isnt it Ive come to the conclusion now that its just one of tose things..im actually getting used to it!

I will defo get an u/s if things develop Atm its just the tiniest hint of a brown tinge so i not too concerned

xx

 

[rooster100]

They do say brown is old blood and not to be too worried. I think we know ourselves of something is really wrong. I don't feel the cramps are concerning ATM. I still can't believe I have a baby in my tummy! Defo have a little bumpy now! So that helps me to believe it! Can't wait to get a bit bigger and feel it move then it will feel very real! Xx
