Hi all x
Just marking my place on our shiny new thread.
Since my appointment with the MW at my GP surgery last week, I've received TWO requests for booking in appointments with two completely separate practices. The first is with my local MW in the suburb of Manchester in which I live, which is where I had my appts with my last pregnancy. The second is an appointment in the ante-natal clinic in North Manchester General. Which is miles away and v. odd given I live approx 5/10 mins from St Mary's Hospital which is the main hospital in Manc. 
Hopefully it will just be a case of cancelling one, but bloody hell, when my MW said she would try and get me through the system quickly, I wasn't expecting to be this in demand. :)
Anyway, hope everyone is well. Still wavering over the reassurance scans...

Hi all
am popping over from April 2011 thread as I am feeling feeling a bit down. This is my 3rd pregnancy and am 9+6. Had a miscarriage in november last year at around the 7 week mark but fortunately have a dd who is now 3.4. Have had browny/pink mucus when wiping for the last 5 days, starting the day before I had my booking in appointment - midwife didn't seem bothered and at that point neither was I, but as the days have gone on I'm starting to worry, especially today as there has been more and just now I had some bright red blood, no mucus just blood. Have put a pad on and am expecting the worst 
Haven't really had much in the way of symptoms this way round just feeling a bit tired really with only about 2 or 3 instances of feeling ever so slightly sick, but only lasting 10 minutes or so. I have been taking it easy and decided that lack of sickness was just how this pregnancy was going to be. Now I'm thinking that I'm going to miscarry. Not sure what to do really. Should I phone midwife and see what she says? Am with Thames Team at St. Thomas and they are, on the whole, rather fab. Shall I just leave it and see how it goes over the next couple of days. No pain as of yet and 
just checked pad and no blood on it. Sorry for long post, just wanted to get it off my chest really

Hello you lovely lot. Sorry not been around much, just horribly busy at work then crashing in the evenings, and those weekends just seem to fly by...
Bunny you lucky thing starting mat leave early, I jut worked out mine won't start till 24th November so I still have 9 weeks to go - at least it's in single figures though! 
Not much news at Gilda HQ - been quoted £4600 to replace our knackered 15 year old boiler 
and realised that today would have been my due date. Not feeling too bad about it as this little one is dancing about in my nethers and I wouldn't want to be without it.
Sparing thoughts for those who aren't on this list yet but who by all rights of the universe should be.
Hope to catch up with y'all properly soon.
PS Buffers I just KNEW you'd end up with a pup!
Sending super easy birth vibes to TFLS

MissWooWoo second everyone's advice to phone MW or epau (if you know the details) - they're used to women phoning with issues like this, and will hopefully send you for a reassurance scan.
Gi1da it's when I hear scary figures like that I'm glad we rent, rather than own! There's no way we could manage something like that.
Magic8 I broke out the maternity wear yesterday - mainly because I had no clean laundry!
Dorcas I've got a cold too, and am feeling crappo. Combined with DS having a cold and DP having worked for the past 15 days on the trot (7am-8pm) and me being on lone parent duty, we're all feeling a bit run down chez Hopefully at the moment.
Still no scan appointment - MW said I should get appointment through the post early this week. Am now 12+3, and I think I'll phone a check availability for a private scan tomorrow if no appointment has arrived by then. It's so frustrating, as I really look like I had one too many bacon butties, and I want to be able to tell everyone I'm actually pregnant! On the other hand, it means that in some ways this pregnancy is going quicker, as I don't feel 'officially' pregnant until I've told everyone.

I had my booking in appointment on Friday - seems all a bit real now.
Need to wait on scan appointment from local hospital now and also have to see a consultant to discuss my options as both DD's ended up with me having a 3rd degree tear - not pleasant...........
I am now in maternity wear and am looking decidely pregnant so am just ignoring the stares at work - have to be reasonably presentable in an office environment unfortunately!
Just need to take it day by day I guess and hope this bean sticks around
