Sarah, where has the time gone, another year older, scary!

I love coleslaw but haven't touched it since pg because of the eggs I wasn't sure which ones to could and couldn't eat!

Regina hope you managed to BD today!

Garfie looks like yo have OV - baby dust your way.

Becks, how are your legs today?

Jo, how are you doing?

Hi Ladies

Dan - Thanks hun I hope so - anyone else get majorly sore boobs throughout the month - I started noticing mine round about the 3 Feb although it could have been earlier as I promised I wouldn't symptom spot anyway I took a test to get it out of the way (Oasis know's what I'm like) and of course a BFN so will be doing another Fri and so on until she pops by

Chart stalkers check out my charts please last month it looked like she was coming 5 days earlier - but then buzzed off and came back

Oasis - Hope your legs are feeling better - is there anything they can give you to help ease them, hope in the meantime you are resting and keeping your feet elevated not tucked under you

Josie - When do you get your results back - hope you don't have to wait to long

Left Wondering - Hope you got your early morning pressie

Hi to all the other ladies

Hi ladies, had a bit of a scare after midwife app, went to the loo and had some, well I guess very light brown, it's hard to explain, its not quite the same as what I had with mc but any change to the colour is frightening, I've rang the epau and I've got another scan tomorrow at 11.20. I'm trying my very very best not to panic. I was supposed to be seen about my leg at the Acute Medical Assessment dept at hospital today but as I've been told to take it easy I'm trying to arrange tomorriw as I've been told its like a and e and will be a very long wait. My period would have been due tomorrow and my mw seems to think it's prob just that but after two losses I just cant think that way. My legs still very bad and they're still not ruling out a dvt, so I guess I'm not having the best time atm xxxxx

 

[garfie]

Oasis - Try not to worry hun (easier said than done) how are you feeling other than the brown? everything else okay - no need to say this to you but I will anyway any change of colour, temperature or cramping go straight to your nearest accident and emergency.

They do say brown blood is old blood as well hun I am so sorry you are going through this uncertainty.

Obviously it goes without saying I hope tomorrow is all okay and it's just your little turtle snuggling in deeper

Try and relax hun BIG

Thanks love, apart from that which dh is insisting is not brown is more like dark yellow/beige, have to probably agree with that, I'm fine, no pain, temp still up 98.04, I've read that tv scans can cause this but who knows, just been to the loo again and nothing now, however, were def not taking any chances after our history, there was no bleeding around baby Monday, nothing, so it seems odd that could change in about 40 hours but you just don't know. I said to myself at the start of this pregnancy as long as I don't see brown I'm ok, I have to admit my spotting with both mc was very dark Brown and much more if it, so, I guess it's another waiting game until tomorrow xxx

 

[Oasis717]

I had coleslaw today as well

I actually asked my mw about this today and you can't eat coleslaw, reason being is the veg, they just don't know wether they've been washed properly and may, only may contain Listeria, it's not really cause of the eggs as shops use pasteurized, she said not to worry at all but best avoid from now on, also pre washed pre packed salad even though it's been washed, wash it again, I never knew any of that, it goes for potato salad too xxx

 

[garfie]

Oasis - TV can deffo cause that - old blood dislodging - but I don't blame you hun wanting to get checked out I would to

Besides you may get another sneaky look at your little turtle

I have also heard meat such as salami - needs to be avoided whilst pregnant, although best to ask your midwife because things may have changed since I last had my boys

[Oasis717]

Thank you, really hope all is ok and it's just the tv, I had yet another bloody trainee and they can never see my left ovary she actually hurt me a couple of times, I did say but she carried on just said sorry, so I'm hoping that's all it is, yes the mw went through the list of everything, I certainly didn't know about pre packaged sandwiches, coleslaw, pre washed veg and potato salad or pre packed salad, will be avoiding now dh has insisted on getting our son from pre school as it's an hour round trip walk so I've got my feet up, tomorrow can't come soon enough xxx

Sorry yo are having it rough, thinking of you tomorrow.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Lisa, I'm gunna be at the hospital all day as my doc phoned tonight and I've got to go to a unit about my leg after the scan. There's no loss at all now when I went to the loo, it's odd it was such a small amount and not the colour of when I started to mc but I think we'd all be the same in wanting it checked, shame cause I had such a lovely app with mw, she's lovely and know us quite well now as this is my third pregnancy since last year xxx

 

[josie1234]

Good luck tomorrow Becks. I feel for you. Its hard trying not to worry but hopefully your little turtle will be fine. Hugs to you xxx

 

[josie1234]

Garf, i am going to ring docs tomorrow to check when results will be in x

 

[Left wonderin]

Beck's sorry about your scare , maybe we should ban peeing for the whole 9 months as I would imagine the fear is there every time you wipe ! There is no point in me telling you to relax as I'm sure you know that but still won't relax till you see turtle snug as a bug tommrow . Will be thinking of you

Oh and tmi me and OH had a fine time this am ( late for work again) this baby making will have me fired lol.......... Also decided I'm not trusting o/v tests anymore as got - at 8am + at 6pm and - at 11pm and - at 8am again . Going to try SMEP this month also , and cover all my bases . I'm hoping this month I get a two week wait lol never mind a BFP .

The great thing about this journey is I have met all you wonderful people

 

[josie1234]

I know what you mean about trying to find out when ov. Doc said not to concentrate on that and just bd every other day. Good luck.

 

[josie1234]

Morning ladies. Blood tests for hormones/rubella are normal. Didnt get the numbers but got to ring tomorrow for swab results so will ask then. Hope you re all ok xx

 

[Oasis717]

Well ladies it would seem my odd colour on the tp is perfectly normal and just a result of hormones they said, have been discharged from epau, again lol, baby was so much bigger than Monday, couldn't believe it, everything absolutely spot on, no bleeding whatsoever anywhere, baby was 18.7mm from 16 mm on Monday so I was even measuring 3 days ahead! In the midwives words the heart was banging away like a good un! Could see baby moving this time too, they couldn't get a really clear pic according to the gas in my bowel apparently lol. Midwife said unless bleeding gets worse and worse along with a loss of symptoms they dont tend to worry, as didn't actually have bleeding she wasnt at all worried, also saw doc who checked my cervix and took a swab just in case and said all normal and absolutely no blood. So, that's me happy!! Will post pic in bit xxxxx

 

[garfie]

On phone - oasis fab fab fab news

Now will you try and relax



X

 

[dancareoi]

Becks, so glad all is good. Try and relax a little now.

Just need to sort your leg out now!

Here's an interesting tit bit if you are constipated! Sorry if TMI. Usually I am regular as clockwork, but sonce PG seems to be every other day!

At weekend, when we were away, I had all bran instead of usual porridge, back to once a day! Now back on porridge and back to every other day!

So if you feel bunged up, have a bowl or two of all bran!
