Who wants to buddy up....thread 3!!

[nickynackynoo31]

Hi guys....hope you find this new thread...

So I got totally confused with dates in my last message but I started bleeding Sunday and it lasted till Thursday but was very light....it had only been 13 days since last lot of bleeding....spoken to doc and she said she can't do anything until October which will be 1 year since I've had regular bleeding and then they will look into it. Xx

[nickynackynoo31]

I know duck.....

I'm ringing doctors today to book appointment to see my doc as I've had more bleeding.....only very light but it's only been 4 days since my last 5 day run of bleeding. I'm having hot flushes all the time and I'm so moody...it's like you flick a switch and one min I'm nice then next second I'm a complete botch and then an emotional wreck!!!! Early menopause runs in the family so I'm thinking is this what's happening. Either way I need some sort of idea as I've got my hopes up so much on another baby I'd rather have an idea if it was never going to happen again xx

[nickynackynoo31]

Thanks duck I will.

It's like I've said today if it is early menopause then I'd rather know now so I can get my head round it and move on...yes I will be upset but I can get over it and stop being a pshyco about falling pregnant xx

[nickynackynoo31]

Well I give up....bleeding started Sunday very light and has got heavier throughout the week and today I've had massive clots again .....I'm fed up and drained...because Im wanting to see a particular doctor I now have to ring Monday to see if I can get an appointment for the 4th of July. ..I've done the worst thing today too and Google heavy bleeding with clots and it brings all sorts up ......

Any way hope the rest of you lovelies are doing good and hope you find us soon xx

Hi lovely ladies,
Hope you are all doing OK?
Nicky how do you feel?

I am glad we have another group, I was a bit sad when the other one finished!! It'd be lovely to keep in touch.

I am 34+2 today. I've been in and out of hospital over the past few weeks with my gallbladder. It took a while to diagnose the problem, at first they thought the excrutiating pain I was in was heartburn! But eventually they got there, and they have realised that I have gallstones, which causes me to have these episodes of pain that last around 8-10 hours. It's awful. 5 people have now told me that the pain from these episodes is worse than childbirth. So I guess I'll be a pro by the time the big day comes!
They can't do anything to fix the problem until the babies are born, so instead they have gotten good at making a cocktail of drugs that can get on top of the pain and help me sleep through. I've now got most of the drugs at home so when the pain strikes I can take them at home and I only need to go into hospital for the morphine if and when it's required- so that's good as it means I can come home rather than stay in.

Since this started though, I have also developed a condition called Obstetric Cholestasis - which must be related to the gallbladder issue as it's a condition that means I have got bile acid in my blood.

The bile acid is not good for babies, so many babies decide they want out early. For this reason they've given me 2 X steroid injections to prepare the babies lungs in case they do come prematurely.
They will monitor me and the babies 3 X per week to keep an eye on how things are going.
It's been a hell of a couple of weeks. I am now officially on maternity leave and trying to rest as much as possible. It's difficult cause I am so big that I can't drive, or walk very far, so I'm starting to get fed up. Hopefully the next couple of weeks will fly by and I'll have two healthy babies home with me soon! Xxx

[nickynackynoo31]

Aw mrs it's been tough time for you but the end is in sight and I hope you get some relief soon...them beautiful little babies will be here in no time..
Rest up as much as you can too....

I'm not good...to be honest I've just had enough..Saturday I had to change my trousers and underwear 3 x in 3 hours and then Sunday was just a bit of bleeding then today I've had to change twice in 2 hours...I've got an appointment with my doc next Monday and she's going to have to do something as it's slowly taking over my life ..don't feel I can go anywhere or do much right now for fear of huge blood loss and having to change every two min xx

[Mrs1986]

Oh duck what's going on?
Can you sit him down and explain that you're not feeling yourself? Is he not being supportive?x

[nickynackynoo31]

Aw duck no way.....men just don't understand sometimes....wether it's down to us or not. I'm a very paranoid person and often sit and think if oh really at work or is he out carrying on with every bit of skirt in sight even tho deep down I know where wouldn't. Maybe sit and try tell him how it makes you feel when he's out with them? I know it's hard I've tried to say things about how I feel before but I just get told to stop being stupid....hope things improve and you can ease up a bit..

I just been looking back and out of the last 6 weeks I've had 27 days of bleeding and only 5 of them were light bleeds rest have been heavy and clotty....I'm panicking now as something can't be right...I've Google it and come back with everything from just heavy period to I'm dying which doesn't help!!!! I'm maybe thinking along the lines of fibroid's maybe???

Whatever it is it needs to piss off now I've had enough.....started doing some volunteer work in a charity shop today and half way through the morning I had a huge gush and massive clot luckily I had spare pads but only 1 so then when it happened again hour later I had to just do my best to scrape it all out sorry for tmi I just feel I need to get it off my chest xx

[Mrs1986]

Wowee ladies!

Duck I've not been through and can't imagine what you're going through. I have been with my DH since we were 18, and I know full well that he is 100% trustworthy. I think there absolutely has to be a part of you that doesn't trust your OH and it can't all be placed on "your hormones" ... And to be honest, he should be more understanding than this. He can think you are a crazy nut, and be offended by your lack of trust, but he should remain 100% supportive!!
I am not convinced this is all your fault.

Nicky why are you just carrying on? I would really really push the docs on this. And certainly stay away from Google!! You must need iron supplements? Maybe Google which GP is the head of your practise and make an appointment to see that person. I'm the past I have found that they are the head for a reason- they're amazing! Xxxx

[Mrs1986]

Can you get away for a holiday just the two of you at all? See about rekindling your romance? It sounds like such a tough situation :-(

[nickynackynoo31]

Aw duck I hope you can both work through your issues and sort it out...hugs hun. ..

Well my day is going from bad to worse....had my first clot around 1pm and they haven't stopped coming since....think I'm on having to get changed 6 times up to now....I had appointment today for some swabs and I went to loo just before I went in and had a huge clot then 10 mins later when I went to get undressed I lost another which the nurse saw....she looked quite alarmed and said she would see what she could do swab wise....as soon as she tried to do it she said she needed to get the doctor and off she went. Doc came back and had a look and said something isn't right...the blood isn't just in my vagina it's further up so needs an ultrasound to see what's what....she initially thought ectopic pregnancy but as I've not had pain she's not sure but isn't ruling it out either....I've to go for bloods done in the morning and she's rushing me through for a scan. I'm a bit lost with it all really not sure what to think either xxx

[Mrs1986]

On the plus side Nicky it sounds like you're being rushed through and looked after which is absolutely the main thing!! I'm amazed they've not got you in hospital to be honest!! Xxx

[nickynackynoo31]

Hi ladies..
I'm in leeds and have already decided that if the bleeding was as bad today then off to hospital I was going but today it's really slowed and no clots but there is still time. The doctor prescribed me a tablet to slow the bleeding too. I've had a blood test this morning to check for anemia. I'm feeling headachy and tired so trying to take it easy...my blood results are back tomorrow and I'm going to speak to doc tomorrow as not sure what happening regarding scan. And also got appointment Monday 4th with my regular doc so keeping that too...

I've been doing a little research and I think it maybe fibroid's . ..symptoms are similar so km going to mention that to the doctors too as another option....I did a pregnancy test today on advice of the doc and of course it was negative so I don't think it's eptopic really which is a relief. Xx

[Mrs1986]

Nicky you poor thing! This must be so scary for you! I personally would try and stay away from looking symptoms up on the internet cause you could really worry yourself (hopefully unnecessarily).

I am back in the hospital, been here 4 nights now. I won't be coming back out again except on "day release" whereby they can monitor the babies in the morning, fill me with drugs, and then have me back by 5/6pm ish.
This will happen on Saturday (tomorrow), Sunday, Thursday, and then again on Sayurday and Sunday. THEN on Monday 11th I am being induced!!!

The list of things wrong with me and the medication I am on is so long! Xxx

[Mrs1986]

Oh hun, do you really think that? What has he said? This seems a bit tough on you to be going through at such a special time

[nickynackynoo31]

Wow mrs it's all becoming really real really quickly but this time next week you will have your 2 gorgeous boys to cuddle....

duck what's happened hun...
I hope you can in time sort things and get through this awful time xx
