No. She didn't say she saw anything unusual. I would prefer to know. So maybe a trip back to the hospital again. But they did nothing the other night apart from send us home again with no answers, so I don't know if it would be the same.

Have you looked up cervical erosion?? Tha is usually the cause of unexplained bleeding and is absolutely nothing at all to worry about as it doesn't have any dealings with the uterus so is totally harmless to the inhabitant. If nothing untoward was seen on the scan that is the likely cause.. puddles of blood can be seen quite clearly on scans

Googled every cause the other night. And did see it. But in irrational, panic mode I wasn't thinking of the harmless things being likely. I was too worried. Now I'm calmer and have seen HER (been saying him for so long because I guessed it was, it'll take a while to get used to!) I can read it again and see how likely and common it is. Especially as it stops quickly and there's no pain.

That's great news that all is okay crazy.

Glad all is well, bleeding seems quite common. I know my mum had bleeding all the way through her pregnancy with my older sister.

Spent the day emptying the second bedroom with OH. She in more of a supervisory/commanding role. She's been very good and being quite ruthless with going through old clothes and things.

Managed get rid of a lot and organise what's left a bit better.

Cleared chest of drawers so that can be used for baby things.


I'm also going to be doing some soundproofing work in there. Our party wall is awful. Up to now the second bedroom has been a clothes storage/exercise room/my office. When I've been in there the amount of noise from next door, even when they're just talking is ridiculous.

We did sound proofing in our main bedroom last year and will do the same in there. Also going to improve the partition wall between our bedrooms. The builders clearly did a rubbish job. The plasterboard is vibrating against the studs as if it's not attached.

Meaning the wall is basically acting as a giant drum. You can hear even whispering from the room on the other side very clearly.

That will be a nightmare in the future if we can't even breathe for fear of waking them up and vice versa.

Anyway will be easy enough to do since we're already doing the party wall.

Once that's all done I can start decorating it and we'll have somewhere to store baby stuff once we start buying.

Was going to announce it to my family today, but I changed my mind!! There were however a few comments, like my aunt made a comment about me having a baby this time next year and pointed to my stomach, and another aunt asked as she overheard me asking some questions to someone else, I just looked surprised and said no, not me!!!

I did order myself some maternity jeans yesterday from next, I really could do with some black work trousers, but whilst next do short maternity jeans, they didn't have much in the way of short maternity trousers so I need to Google where does. I also need to buy some new bras!!

OH bought some black sweatpants from H&M that she thought would be lounging or PE trousers. But actually they look quite smart so she's going to wear them for work. They're also really comfy apparently.

Only £7.50 online.

We went to Meadowhall in Sheffield as there's a few places that had maternity wear in stock.

Signed up for more yoga classes - bleh, I hate it but it's the only exercise I can really do at this stage, that and swimming.

Need to get all the housework done today and start planning the nursery - I've got few bits in there but I'd like it to be half coordinated!

I got some nice trousers from Asos which I have found to be really comfy, and also look fairly smart: http://www.asos.com/ASOS-Maternity/ASOS-Maternity-2-Pack-Jersey-Peg-Trousers-in-Plain-Black-and-Spot-Print-SAVE-25/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5049973&cid=17127&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black%2fspot&totalstyles=68&gridsize=3

I also bought some bras from Amazon, they really are comfy for me, no underwiring and the padding helps later on...so I'm told! http://www.amazon.co.uk/iLoveSIA-Womens-Breastfeeding-Nursing-Black/dp/B010Q7JDQI?ie=UTF8&keywords=ilovesia&qid=1459158213&ref_=sr_1_10&sr=8-10
