Can I just ask anyone who might know this. I bled this morning but nothing since....if something bad was going to happen do you think it would have carried on and not stopped?

Im so worried and dont know if i should settle down...i know it will happen if its going to but i just feel as tho im waiting for it to happen x

I've had 2 episodes of spotting with cramps but been told is normal, if i get it again next week ill get a scan as its bit too early now at 6+4, I dont want to worry by there being no heart beat and have to wait another week. lots of people bleed and its usually nothing to worry about, but acll the midwife or doc if concerned.

I cant get over how huge I feel I know its just bloat and fluid but it looks so obvious if i wear a tighter top. Having to hide it under baggy tops, Im only a size 10 - 12 but grown so much already!

angela was it red or brown blood hun? Brown usually isn't too much to worry about but if it was fresh red blood you might want to call the doctor first thing tomorrow...

It was brown blood....The midwife gave me a number to ring her but only 9 - 5,Monday to Friday so I rang the hopsital and they said they wouldnt do anything unless I was over 12 weeks...they said to go to A&E but I though I would wait it out...its awful tho x

angela - try and rest up and not get too stressed - I know it is much easier to say it than do it.

Spotting of old brown blood is not at all uncommon - even red spotting doesn't necessarily mean what you think it does. Use the excuse to get pampered a little.

Take care

arrh only just found out. This thursday coming my mid wife is leaving for another job. I only got a few weeks left and i haven't even meet any others!!! I feel a bit let down, miffed and sort of panicky. I just presumed she would be there and know she won't!! i liked here

Also it has been suggested to me that i should think about plastic sheet on the bed know just in cause my water's break at night. Is this the done thing?? if so and rec for type

i wouldnt worry bout midwife leaving as she probably wont be the one delivering baby just the one that visits you at home afterwards(unless your having a home birth) also as for plastic sheet i wouldnt bother? never had that problem at all! oh and good luck lol!

miss_corerupted

i am having a home birth arrghhh. I'm not to worried prob woon't car who is ther anyway as long as they know what they are doing cause i don't.

Won't bother with sheet i was dreading trying to sleep on a rustly plastic bed

My Mum recommended using a mattress protector, something like:

I'm going to, last thing I want to be doing when in labour is cleaning the mattress!

cazscoob

if your having HB and planning on having baby on the bed then may be worth while??? but i wouldnt put one on incase your waters break? luckily my mum works at maternity hosp in gynae theatre so said she would get me a few of the sheets/pads etc that they use! should help out a fair bit as i plan a HB also!

anyone know where i can get a cheap birthing ball had one last time and gave it away when we moved as i didnt expect to need it again!

Is a birthing ball the same as a gym ball?
