Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Thread 8

I had many dashes to EPU last time, often with huge jelly like clots. Very often, as last time with me, it was all ok.

Oh Grumpy!! I really hope its nothing with your scan or just some old blood irritating as its coming out or some sort of completely normal explanation! ❤

I'm sorry people arn't getting any sleep!

I've got really restless painful legs atm and i've tried the pillow trick and everything but they just ache!

Jupiter so jealous you are going to Devon I hope you have a lovely time!... I can't remember if I said congrats on the scan picture it lools so cute!

Glad the nightshift wasn't too bad Mummy

Grumpy hope you're ok lovely I'll keep checking in you're in my thoughts. Hopefully it's nothing x

Thank you all

Lots of hand holding from here. X

Well I'm now in the Spanish equivalent of EPU. I think there are 3 people in front of me. Feeling slightly crampy but hope it's my imagination.

Oh grumpy I hope it's nothing and the scan can give some reassurance

jupiter have a lovely time in Devon. OHs parents live in north Devon.

I'm home, pyjamas on and breakfast down my neck. Wasn't too bad in the end, apart from some IT issues! Had a break at 6.15am 😴

I'm glad they are able to see you grumpy. Such a scary situation for you. Desperately hope everything is ok. ❤️

Oh grumpy hope you're okay ❤️ thinking of you and hope everything is alright. Let us know how you get on.

jupiter hope you have an amazing holiday and well deserved rest! I'm off this afternoon and not sure what signal/wifi will be like!

hb and wilde hope works goes quickly for you!

Ok, thinking of you grumpy.

Called a local hospital (5 min walk) and they told me to come to emergency. DH has sent me a photo of my EHIC (European health insurance card) which they said would suffice. Yes I also have private insurance. I'm on my way now but don't even have a sanitary towel, hope it doesn't get heavier.

grumpy is there a hospital close by that you could get scanned at?

jupiter have a fab holiday!

Hope you get a snooze later wilde

Hb your dh sounds mad.

My Fitbit says I got less than 5 hours, and I have a splitting headache. Really wish sleep were easier!! Sorry it seems to be affecting so many of us!

Jupiter have a wonderful holiday! We will miss you!

Oh grumpy, I'm sorry you must be very worried! Can you call your Doctor or EPU from Spain and arrange an appointment for Monday morning?

Enjoy your week away jupiter and your cottage by the sea jb.

Hb I feel sorry for your fanny! Waxing is painful at the best of times. I wasn't sure if you can still get waxed while pg! Definitely need to get mine sorted

Sorry for the rubbish sleep Wilde, don't work too hard and try to squeeze in a nap at lunch!

Oh grumpy. That must be so scary, especially when you're by yourself. Maybe you could phone your travel insurance company? (Although I guess maybe not if you're covered by your work's insurance?) Or do you have a phone number for your midwife in the U.K.? They may be able to offer some reassurance. Really hope it stops for you.

Oh Grumpy so not good when you're away from home... can you get an earlier flight back today or have you still got work engagements?

Have the loveliest of weeks Jupiter! Sounds perfect

Once again, trying to drag myself up for work on a Saturday! DH got up at 2.30am to go fishing in North Wales for the day... crazy behaviour!

Got 9 hours sleep (a relief given my recent insomnia). Just been to the loo, the bleeding is darker (brown/pink) and I passed some tissue the size of a pea. Not a clot. Not sure what to do or think.

Cross post! @HeyJupiter!

Enjoy your hol! Sounds brilliant!

Up and working...feel ok as I know it's all worth it!

Well we're on our way to Devon! Will be in and out of signal for the next week but will check in when i can :) Have a lovely week everyone.

grumpy how are you this morning? Has the spotting eased off? Thinking of you.

JB oh yes it's finally starting to feel more real..ish! Have a gorgeous time in your cottage by the sea. We can't wait to arrive at ours. Ditto on the eating and walking.

Wilde sorry you had a bad night. Hope you can grab a snooze later x

Been awake since 1.50! Bad dream and couldn't drop off since.

DD with her dad and DP away so was a great chance to get some much needed rest. Damn pregnancy hormones!

Full day of work ahead, but luckily from home, so may be able to snooze this afternoon...

Aww look at baby Jupes. Does it all feel real now Jupiter?

Do you know you are having a boy wilde or are you guessing from your scans?

Sorry your still spotting grumpy

Ooft your poor fanny Hb 😂

otters you have been keeping your baking skills quiet. You must be good to do cupcakes for a wedding. I agree with penguin if you need any extras you know where to send them.

Hope night shift goes quickly mummy

DH and I are all cosy in our cottage by the sea. Planning on quite a bit of walking and also quite a lot of eating 😂 over the weekend!

Grumpy how stressful for you. Hope it calms down over night.. try and sleep.

seven I think boy too! Funny isn't it.. little jupes is around 6.5cm :)

Argh the pink spotting has started again .. so stressful going to bed now

Eeeeeeeeeee Jupiter SO pleased for you & DH! What a beaut! Sounds like the lesson is... drink for England!!

Rubbish about the no nap mummy Hope the shift goes super quick & you can hibernate for the day!

JB my fanny is still recovering! My friend felt so bad she was hurting me (cos I'm preggo) i was like YOU NEVER NORMALLY CARE YOU SADIST!

oooooh seven not much longer to go now at all! Are you our next tester?

otters 100 cupcakes??? You must be one talented lady!

I'm hoping to have a day or two knocked off & have a Nov due date (not that that means anything!) but would be nice to have some separation from the month of Christmas!
