Formally known as EDD late May/Early June etc etc bus, jump on here for tmi, moaning mutual support and free smoothies.
Poor Peardrop :-(
I'm going back onto a small dose of lactulose to counteract issues in the future!
And I just threw my water up, so I've joined you with my head down the loo!

See it's good to share MrsBri! What's that saying, a problem shared is a problem halved? I'm deffinately put off hanky panky now...don't want any unnecessary alarms even though I know yours came from other issue
Frus I'm not sure I've found my fundus yet 
maybe it comes later for 1st timers!?!
Ah, thank you trumpets! Hurrah for the resident midwife :-)
Not had any more on the 3 subsequent loo trips, so may relax a little now.
Mine is about in the same place, Frus. I appear to have a proper bump today (probably from all the bloat )
Mrs It's really common for some spotting at right around 8 weeks. This is the time that the placenta is starting to take over for hormone production and the corpus luteum is starting to reduce in size a bit, so there are some hormone fluctuations that can make you spot slightly. And yes, vigorous anything down there can lead to spotting too. The cervix is also very friable due to the extra blood vessels that are growing so sex or (pooing, I guess in your case) can lead to that as well.
That is a relief mrs you must drink more orange juice to help prevent vigorous pooing.
We do talk a lot :-)
Spotting update: nothing on next loo visit. Dr Google suggests vigorous pooing can lead to spotting. Who'd have thought it?!
link to our new bus since we've practically filled this one we talk a lot 
Mine rounds back in about an inch and a half above my pubic line.
Mrs imagine a grapefruit under your pubic bone, that is slowly rising up towards your belly button. But you can only see a tiny part of it. Like a tiny mini 6pack for your belly, just without the muscles, the top of mine is just under my knicker elastic.
That's interesting to know, Jojo...shows it is possible. :-)
I still can't work the fundus thing out, Frustrated!
On another note, I can see where my fundus is. It dips in around the top and top sides, so is clear to see now, which just goes to show that my big fat making me look pregnant belly is just my gut
I had that <ahem> TMI bleeding issue last pregnancy... I completely freaked out & called the OOH GP. He called me back about midnight & was v nice & calming!
I'll see if I get more next time I go to the loo. There's no extra cramping at all, so could be something and nothing.
Will keep my fingers crossed.
If it is worse I'll call the midwife.
It could be nothing mrs, and pear had a spot that was nothing serious, If you are worried a quick phone to the midwife may set your mind at rest, they really won't mind.
Yes...I did check that too! All bases covered, as it were.
It was really tiny. Beginning to think I shouldn't have said anything as it could be nothing. :-/
Tmi mrs but was it from the front? the straining can, uhum, make you bleed from there
Don't think I have a cut.
Serious TMI alert...I had a big poo which required a little, um, effort. That may have strained something! Sorry :-/
Walking is clearly bad!!
No, scan was external. It was a very small amount. Have to see if it gets worse.
I'm at 8+2 today.
Could you have a small cut? <hopeful> take it very easy, lots of rest.

Nicola don't worry I think it's ok. I had that one spot of blood on toilet roll at 9 weeks which is about where you are right? It happened after my walk at lunch why do walks do me harm!!
It really is a tiny amount...wiped 4 times and only twice. And barely anything.
If you had a small cut and wiped it, it would be about the same. Not even like spotting.
Hmmm...see how it goes, I suppose.
I really only have myself to blame
