I've got my 24 week check with my midwife this morning. Forgot to do my urine sample when I got up though..hoping that I can squeeze some more out.

It looks nice unfortunately I can't abide halternecks need more scaffolding and less pressie on my dodgy neck :cool:

Help please ladies. Sitting at work and nipped to the loo and noticed a small amount of blood!! Very very small amount but I'm ****in myself

Anyone else experience blood at just over 20 weeks? Going to keep an eye on things but not sure what to do/ think.

I'm not quite that far on but if you're worried you should ring your midwife/maternity triage line. They may offer you a scan to see what's going on. Have you recently had your anomoly scan? Could it be a low lying placenta or as the result of rough DTD?

ETA: Teamlowe, I keep getting a sore belly button (and also have scars in there) and I've been putting a bit of vaseline/sudacrem on a cotton bud and running it round the inside. That seems to help

Thanks for the replies. Not in any pain. Little cramps every now and then but had that through all of this pregnancy. Got my scan on Friday which is a bit of a relief, but can't help thinking the worst when you see blood, no matter how small. Don't want to tell OH and worry him.

Will call MW after work, if there is any more. Just hope things are ok.

Please do call your midwife. Keep us updated x

Thanks

Photobucket is really easy to use. Would love to see your bump as you are to the day at the same stage as me.

I will try upload one later or tomorrow, I have to wait until my sons in bed as he's a monkey when my computer is on! I will look out for the leggings I'm not near an asda but I'm sure I will be soon enough x

I haven't bought much maternity stuff, I've got a couple of tops/ trousers I picked up second hand. I didn't wear any maternity in my last pregnancy but I didn't get very big, this time feels very different! I kept having to buy bras last time.

Hugs Lippy please phone your MW. I had bleeding at 20 weeks which was due to being rhesus negative, everything was ok thankfully xxx

Hugs Lippy, it's probably nothing but best to get it checked out. MIL told me that with all 3 of her pregnancies she bled at random intervals all the way through and was fine, it was just one of those things that can happen to some women even if it was a bit scary.

Bit of a random thing, but I was having a rub/poke of my belly today and noticed that it feels much harder today! I felt really 'stretchy' yesterday so things must be moving outwards! OH told me off for rubbing my tummy yesterday as he was concerned I'd be disturbing the baby! Not sure how he expects me to go another 6 months without touching my bump for fear of waking or annoying him/her!

Hi ladies,

Sorry I've been a bit AWOL. Scan today was mixed. Her appearance is normal but she's tiny - off all the charts. Now have growth scans every 2-4 weeks and if she continues to grow they'll deliver at 37 weeks. If anything is suspected at any stage they'll deliver her immediately. VBAC not an option.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Hi all, thanks for the good luck wishes!
Scan went lovely, we didn't find out the gender as we're on team Yellow
I don't post a lot, but I like reading everyone's updates and bump pictures!

Great news about the scan misscoupon

I'm glad you're being monitored Lily. Have they given you any advice? X

TeamLowe

That must be very concerning, is there a possible reason for her teeniness? Was she measuring ok at the last scan? At least you'll get to see her more x x

Misscoupon congrats on the successful scan, I admire people who have the patience to be Team Yellow, I'm already dying to know!

KScarlet

Glad you are being monitored Lily it must be a worry though xx

I'm pleased scan went well Misscoupon x I'm also impatient and had to find out our baby's gender so you are very patient!
