Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 4!!

Will have fingers crossed for you T2D, I had a little bit Thursday but all seems to have settled down -scary as hell!

For those with runny noses - me too- it may be *another* pregnancy symptom rather than a cold though: Google it!

So glad to be off work today, feeling knackered despite a relaxing weekend- really can't wait for energy levels to pick up!!

I did actually google this the other day because for the last few weeks I've been sneezing loads! Turns out you can have a sensitive nose, hence sneeze a lot but doesn't really say anything about colds.

Ok bleeding has stopped. Just a bit of old blood now. This morning was lots of bright/dark red.

I went to gp then epu and they could see the sac and yolk, but embryo still too small. She said bleeding isn't normal, but its common, and to come back next week. I'm booked for Wednesday.

Good in a way! Thought they would say there is nothing there! The sac is in the right place too.

Blimey T2D (stalking you long timers sorry!!) hope bleeding stay away and stops flipping worrying you like that, come on little embryo do what you are supposed to!

Thinking of you x

Gosh t2d, hope everything is ok and the bleeding stays away!

Well, I am feeling a bit spooked myself this morning. I have been getting some lower tummy crampy pains but not for about a week or so now. Then out of the blue this morning I got some absolutely awful pains...I spent about 40 mins on all fours on the floor rocking back and forth trying to breathe. I was also being sick and just bringing up horrid sour bile (sorry, tmi) which is weird as I had breakfast so there should have been food in there to come up.

Anyway....it is gone now, thank goodness. I keep checking obsessively but no bleeding. I'm wondering (and hoping) if it was digestive, like trapped wind or something, rather than anything to do with my lady parts. I have certainly had pains like that before in my life when not pregnant and it has been nothing to do with women's problems.

Of course I am worried though. Incidentally did my last (absolutely last, I swear!) test this morning and still got 3+, which reassured me. Even though I know if something went wrong the tests would still be positive for a while.

Doesn't help that husband is currently somewhere in the air on his way to New York. He will be gone until Friday night

Hope you are feeling a bit better now Daisie x

T2D, glad all looked OK on your scan

We managed to find where I'd tidied all my maternity clothes from last time around so I'm finally wearing trousers that fit again. I can still get away with most of my jumpers, but my waist is looking pretty rounded now. Not sure how long it'll be before people start noticing! I also have a huge spot on my chin which is definitely hormone related, boo.

Phew THANK GOD all is ok t2d. Had me worried there!


Daisy that sounds horrendous. Hope you're feelin better now. I've had wind that has caused really bad pain like that. Fingers crossed its nothing x

T2D, I am SO relieved that all is okay for you!

Daisiegg, I really hope you're feeling better. I don't know if it's worth ringing your midwife/EPAC just to get checked out? For your own peace of mind if nothing else, as that sounds very scary!!

Hope everyone else is doing okay??

I had a bit of a bleed late last night too as I was heading to bed - very brief, literally a brief gush, very dark brown, but did have red within it. Thankfully no clots in it and I was suffering no pain. So I put a pad on and decided to relax and see how things were overnight. All settled down pretty much straight away with no trace of anything this morning, huzzah.

However, now I know I'm Rhesus Negative, I'm all a bit of a dither. I was told on Friday that if I were to bleed again then I'd need to go in to have another dose of Anti-D (which is no biggy, I'll do whatever it takes to keep baby/future babies safe). But this bleed whilst red, was a very browny red, not to mention very very brief... So my concern is a) when is red "red enough" to qualify as needing a dose of anti-D? and b) how much blood is considered a bleed? Oh, I know, if it's not one thing it's something else... I never used to be this bad!

I've rung the maternity ward to ask them, and they're not sure whether I need more anti-D or not (given I only had a dose on Friday evening). However, they spoke to some other colleagues and they've said it sounds like I need a scan to try and find out what's going on. So I'm currently waiting for a call back for a scan appointment at the EPAC tomorrow. This is going to sound very ungrateful, which I'm not as I'm so pleased they're taking me seriously and looking after me and baby but... I was really hoping it could be this afternoon, as I'm off work anyway. But EPAC only runs certain days of the week at my hospital, so that's the way it is. I just feel guilty because of messing work around repeatedly - especially given I only started at the one job at the start of January and I've barely managed to work a full working week since I've started thanks to being signed off twice, scan appointments and going to hospital on Friday to get checked over. I really need to stop worrying about work and what they think and start focusing on me and little one...

Oh Miss I, that all sounds very confusing! Hope you are ok.

I am fine, I don't know who I would call as I haven't even seen a mw yet. Also in a weird way I figure if something is going wrong/going to go wrong there is nothing anyone can do to fix it,and if I am going to get bad news I would rather it was when my husband is not thousands of miles away...

Miss_Imaginative

Daisiegg, I see your logic - especially with hubby being away. Try and stay positive though. When I had my first bleed I rang my on-call GP (as it was after hours) and they said go to A&E, which I was on my way to by that point anyway (given it was an hour later was still bleeding). So my argument is if you're in any doubt, go to A&E, they can assess you and get you to the right people.

Thanks for the support, Dasiegg - very confused and very emotional right now!

Just had a call back from the midwife on the ward who'd got through to. She's managed to get an appointment for 10am Friday, unfortunately that's the earliest they could get it (EPAC full this afternoon, Weds, Thurs and cancelled for tomorrow!) - which again, is fine, can't be helped. She explained the spiel about needing a full bladder, etc ready for my scan and where I needed to go (i.e. where I'd been before).

I asked her whether I needed to be concerned, as I only rang for confirmation whether I needed the Anti-D jab or not and now I'm being given an extra scan. She said she'd spoken to the registrar and they said they were keen to see me and try and find out what was going on. In the midwife's words "your bleeding is not normal, it shouldn't be happening, and I don't want to give you false hope by pretending everything is fine". Needless to say, I'm very very upset by those words as at our previous scans after bleeds the doctors have put it down to one of those things and said there is no reason for us to be concerned as there was a healthy heartbeat and baby was well! Now I can't help but think the worst.

I've just spoken to hubby on the phone, as I'm feeling very confused and upset and as none of our family or friends know (we were planning on telling them face to face when we visit them this coming weekend). Hubby suggests giving my midwife a ring first thing tomorrow (she works Tues-Thurs) and run it all past her as she knows my history and she might be able to put my mind at ease. Plus she might be able to give me an answer re: my anti-D question, which I didn't get from the midwife just! And if I wait until Friday, it'll be well past the 72 hour window that you're given for having the Anti-D after a bleed. Really hoping that my midwife tomorrow can put my mind at ease, as right now I'm really worried something is terribly wrong.
