Back from doctors and he has booked me in for an appointment but they don't have one until Friday morning.
I've been in a bit of a state since we got back. The blood is still brown but it's worse than yesterday (it all but stopped until yesterday evening) and I'm feeling so scared.

.. (((hugs))) Emsbet, I am glad that you have an appointment for Friday. Is there anyone who could pop round and give you a bit of support to try and help pass the time until friday. I really hope that all is well on friday for you and this is just one of those things. I hope that you will keep posting as and when you need to.
I would send Dylan over to distract you but Im not sure if you are into little doggies, he has yet again surpassed himself, this morning is tmi for others to read but his finale this afternoon was to bite into a full can of guiness and promptly spray the porch with it and then proceeded to lick it up!! :eek: luckily I managed to stop him before he drunk too much!
Anyway Take care

I had midwife today and got protein in urine, she wants to check again next week and send off to lab if still showing, she is hoping it is a tainted container as they swill it out and give it back to you or a uti. So i'm kinda peed off as the thought of pre eclampsia scares the hell outta me and i don't want to go down that road.

Ro i'm loving dylan, bless i bet him and my topsy would go nuts playing together xxx

Emsbet i hope you get everything sorted on Friday and will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you x

Went for my midwife appointment this afternoon, everything fine. She also hasn't received anything from the hospital about 16week bloods so she said it's safe to assume baby is low risk and if it was high chances are i would have been contacted and back in for a follow up by now so that's good.

Also got to hear the little bean's heartbeat for the 1st time, i was just amazing :j Took the midwife a minute to find but there it was chugging away at 154bmp, DH came closer for a listen and baby kicked the Doppler off so MW had to find it again

My sister has been out tonight and bought bean a mini rocking horse for Christmas, it's teeny! Bean isn't due until 5th March but it was a lovely gesture and will look nice in the nursery

Getting my flu jab on Saturday and next scan on the 24th so all looking good

Hope everyone is well and bumps are blooming xx

You can get protein if you're dehydrated too Toniq It's quite early for pre eclampsia so I wouldn't worry too much xxx

Just make sure you drink loads before your next sample, I had a trace of protein a few weeks ago and the nurse told me it was probably dehydration.

I'm good, bubs is quiet today though, probably the quietest he's been since I first felt him moving, wish he'd liven up a bit (never thought I'd say that )

I'll remind u that in a few weeks when u say he has kept u up all night! xxxx

Just on schedule, he's going a bit nuts, I think he might have moved because it feels different from before. I'm watching Celeb masterchef and it's making me starving, even though I've just ate, I've been such a piggy today. I want more too...

Random weird question guys and gals... Have got midwife appointment in the morning and, as usual, need to take a urine sample. Appointment is at 9.40. So, question is, can I 'prepare' my sample tonight, when I am more hydrated, or should I wait until the morning so it's 'fresh'? I'm alway mega dehydrated in the morning and FMU looks hideous, and not sure if I've got enough time to hydrate myself so it doesn't look like I'm sick, IYKWIM... Sorry for such a bizarre question by the way!
