Due oct 2006

[3kids]

I found out today i'm pregnant with no 4! Due the 1st oct.

Great news TF! Popped over from the Sept thread. I bled too (very heavily) and it turned out to be excess womb lining. Take it easy and well done. x

great news totallyfloaty! I also bled on 5th Feb, keep on doing preg tests since then which say pos, (thank god they only cost about 50p here) and feel very sicky/pregnanty, but won't feel really secure till scan and see its little hearbeart. Just out of interest, how many weeks are you, and was it an abdominal u/sound? I'm now just over 7 weeks but want to wait till they can see it on an abdominal (not transvaginal scan) cos am in Kazakhstan and don't have much faith in the medical services here, risk infection from transvaginal etc..

Looks like it's happening again. Been bleeding slightly dark red/brown on and off since Wednesday with pain. Very similar to last time (missed miscarriage) in that the blood doesn't come through but is there on wiping (sorry if TMI). Woke up this morning and breasts no longer sore so quite sure it's over BUT now they are again, so I don't know what to think. I'm only 6.5 weeks so there doesn't seem much point going to the hospital because they won't be able to see anything or do anything. Just a case of waiting. Last time though, once the blood started properly there was gallons of it, and I'm frightened of it starting at work or while I'm away from home.

Last time the bleeding started on a Wednesday too. I read something yesterday that said excessive exercise can cause miscarriage beyween 6-10 weeks. Logically that doesn't seem right because if it is that easy to dislodge a pregnancy there wouldn't be any need for an abortion service. I do 45 minutes of ballet on a Monday and an hour of ballroom/latin on a Tuesday, which I've done for years so I'm used to it. Would this be enough to cause 2 miscarriages or am I just unlucky?

good news about your scan totallyfloaty
hope you're all having a good weekend
probably won't be posting much over the next few days as I have my inlaws coming to stay - oh joy, oh bliss...

Evenhope, I don't think there is any link between your exercising and the first miscarriage. If I were you I would go to the hospital to the epu. When I m/c last February, I was somewhere between 5-7 weeks and had a transvaginal ultrasound and they were very good with me. Have you done another pregnancy test today? I did the day I started bleeding more heavily and despite having a positive the day before, it was negative.

I hope that's not what is happening. For what it's worth, when I had dd, I didn't know I was pg until I was about 10 weeks gone. I bled enough to think I had my period. Obviously had I been pg I would have been completely freaked out.

Do ring the hospital or your out of hours gp. At least it will give you peace of mind. Thinking of you.

evenhope - sorry I crossposted with you
I agree with sparkly - go to the hospital, they should be able to check you out and put your mind at rest.
will be thinking of you

evenhope sorry to hear this. I really don't think your dance classes could have anything to do with it. From what I've read, it really is out of your control and dancing won't make any difference, if a miscarriage is going to happen.

I think it would still be worth getting a scan done at an EPU if you can.

When I was pregnant with DD I had bleeding at 6 weeks, and an early scan, and they could see all they needed to although it was so early.

Equally, if the news is bad you really need to be at home not trying to deal with it at work-so you need to be at home.

I really hope the worst isn't happening

floaty congrats on the scan now take it easy.

Evenhope sorry to hear you are bleeding too. I would still ring drs/epu and get a scan they can still see something at 6.5 weeks usually even if just sac but always best to check a bleed out to put mind at rest so to speak if you can.

Glad to hear everything is okay with you scan floaty.

Sorry to hear about your bleeding evenhope, i don't know whether this will help but during my first pregnancy I had two periods in the first 3 months and cos they were so heavy I didn't find out I was pregnant until 12wk 6 days. I used to dance as well, as much as you have mentioned and he is now 2. So.. try and just rest and maybe try and get an early scan to put your mind at rest.

I hope everything is okay!!

On a good note my bleeding has now stopped, I think it was just a fake period. Saw mw she seems to think that everything is okay, however she wants me to do another test before she comes over for next appointment... Fingers crossed everything will be okay.

Hope everyone is well... no morning sickness yet thought

Just popping in quickly to find out how you all are.

Welcome to more newbies! Congrats Batlady and missmibaby and MumtoLaura and Paow and Cece and sparkly1

Pleased to hear about some good scan results out their (esp totallyfloaty - that sounded a bit scary), am kind of jealous that some of you have already seen your beans! Good luck for next weeks scan nowanearlymum.

FirstNikki and Beanymum and evenhope - my heart goes out to you, I'm so sorry for your news. I think nothing is definite yet?

Sorry for those I've missed.

Am still only 5 weeks pg, which seems ludicrously early as I feel as if I've been pg for ever. However, thank god started to feel a bit of morning sickness yesterday and today - I need sypmtoms to help me believe that I'm still pg. I've had two incredibly easy pg and two early m/c so it feels like there's everything to play for at the moment!

hello ladies, just a quick post to check every1 is ok

totallyfloaty - im so glad to hear that all went well at your scan...do you know how far gone you are?

evenhope - im so sorry to hear about the bleeding, i hope that all will be ok xoxox

has anyone else got upcoming MW appointments or scans?? ive got an appointment with the MW on the 6th of march and it will be my first appointment...dunno whats shes going to do, so im a little nervous

take it easy all

Morning all. Hope you are doing OK. I have a blissful couple of hours to myself while DH takes DD shopping and to the park-hurrah!
Am so tired. DD was up being sick all til 4.30am on Wednesday, and had in-laws staying Friday (which means we end up on the sofa bed which isn't that comfy)so really glad of a lazy day. Still, MIL did loads of work on our garden yesterday. It is really small and last year got totally overtaken by our apple tree, so it is good that MIL came over to sort it out (instructing DH and FIL where to chop/cut/dig etc!). We didn't have a garden when we lived in London, so we are useless!

Evenhope, hope things are OK.

We haven't heard any more from Piffle have we? I hope she is doing OK.

by the way wuzzle I am seeing midwife on Tuesday. I'm not sure if this is my booking in appointment or just to organise scans. At your booking in (which I think is usually between 8 and 12 weeks) they will take blood tests, get a urine sample, ask about your medical history, maybe ask about what kind of birth you would like. If you haven't already had them or got dates through, they will discuss scans with you too. Hope your appointment goes well

Hello ladies, hope you are all well.
I had a tiny bleeding on friday morning, but has not seen anything since then...have had a stressfull weekend.Feeling very sick.
thinking about going for a scan next week en maybe find an independent midwive - has anyone here done this?

Great news floaty.

I missed the thread for a few days as ended up in A&E with a corneal ulcer and haven't been able to open my eyes for a few days. Couldn't get the right treatment as everything they wanted to give me was contra indicated. All very painful and computer use impossible.

OK now with the eye, but still concerned about pg situation. I know I can go to EPU and stuff, but I really can't bring myself to do this.....I've been through so many m/c's before and seems much easier to try to push things to back of mind than go to EPU and get told for sure. Just don't know what to make of where I am (spotting when wiping for nearly two weeks now, boobs sore but not as sore as they were, exhausted but that could be anything, my body has definately shifted shape but I guess it would do that to an extent anyway even if pg not viable). Because it could easily all be OK I'm not sure I could face having a nurse tell me for definate that it isn't. But on other hand I'm in a bit of a state anyway so guess it wont make much difference. At least the pg tests are all showing really strong lines so even if it's a straw I'm clutching at, that's something at least.

I am back at work tomorrow (via eye appt at Moorfields) so might ring round the London hospitals to see if I can fit in a quick EPU scan somewhere. Unless I cop out, of course.

Completely agree with you majormoo about having support from people who've been through similar, though don't worry nowanearlynicemum - it's still nice to hear from people who are sailig through things as well, otherwise the threads would get toooo depressing for words.

I think my au-pair has twigged somethings' up - she doesn't work weekends and at this precise moment she's running up and down the garden with DS. Bliss.

Good luck to everyone for this week. x

Dont panic Whiffy,i had same sort of bleed as you.Brownish blood but only on wiping,also remember your boobs aren't supposed to hurt all the time and exhaustion comes and goes

whiffy...i sympathise completely about the eye...i had a corneal ulcer a few years ago and it is not pleasant...i hope that it all gets sorted asap
im afraid im of no use about the bleeding/symptoms as this is my first time round, but again, my thoughts are with you and i hope that everythings well xoxoxox

Whiffy, how awful about your eye. I also can relate to your concerns about the bleeding. I've had one early m/c last year and bled when pg with my dd (though didn't know I was pg at the time). I hope you get a chance to go and get checked out.

As for me, another pregnancy test this morning that said pregnant. Not that I have had any bleeding yet (and hope to god I don't) but because I'm still not convinced it's true. I'm seeing my GP on Tuesday and hope to get in for an early scan. I'm going to be vague on my dates which, to be fair, I largely am. I think I had my last period in early to mid January but haven't been keeping track.

Also going to see my seamstress this week as I need to know how much let-out-ability there is in my wedding dress! I suppose because this is my second it'll be fairly obvious in May that I'm pg!

Hello all, I'm really sorry for some of you having problems with your pg, I fully understand how you feel as I had a missed mc and was devastated, I'm also very anxious now, just hoping everything is OK.

I have a huge belly already and I'm only 6 weeks tomorrow! Can't beleive it.

A quick message about the dancing classes:
I was due to start weekly yoga last week, and told the teacher about pg, she immediately said I COULD NOT join, as pg was too early and would not recommend the stretching.
She was very strong about this and I reckon ballet has a lot of stretching involved, so if I was you I would give it a miss until you have your 12 week scan to see that everything is OK.
I think ballroom dancing would be OK, in fact very soothing for the baby in the womb.
Hope it helps.
Paola

I also feel my stomach has grown far too much already! But have no real idea how far I am, my due date just a guess. But if I'm right that makes me 6 weeks, too, so I'll take comfort in your growing stomach, paow!

Hi all,

And hope everyone's feeling fine this morning...

paow; I know what you mean about not being sure about diff types of exercise. I'm still going to step aerobics (but not putting the little stands under it so it's not so knackering). Haven't told them I'm preg because they'll just say I can't do it.. swimming on my stomach feels wrong tho..

whiffy sorry about your eye, and fingers crossed with the bleeding. I know how worrying it is, cos had quite a big bleed almost 4 weeks ago and still testing every few days in paranoid way. Thinking of having an early scan this coming Saturday, as will be 8 weeks so they should be able to see something. First experience of Kazakh hospital, ouch! Won't let them do any internals or anything

To those with bellies already; I'm the same (first preg). I'm normally stick thin, so now starting to look like a python who's swallowed a gazelle or something! Can't do up half my work trousers already. I didn't think this was supposed to happen till 3-4 months.. Hope it's not twins

Gem best of luck with your scan you will find it so reassuring if you go I would have thought.

Whiffy thinking of you and I know you know what help is available so go with your heart. The scan will put your mind at rest, as you already know, so best of luck and hope all is well. As you may have already seen on here there's been a few bleed problems on here and all is well hope it is for you too. xx {{{hugs}}}

Thanks Nikki,

Hope you're feeling OK, thinking of you...
Yes, it's all a bit of an up and down thing, but hoping we all get there in the end..

Gem

Nikki, how are you now?
Whiffy, good luck and i am going for a scan myself tomorrow, at least I will know that is happening, bleeding has stopped but still , I am too stressed.good luck to everyone and keep fingers crossed we will stay on this thread until oct.!

thanks for asking rianna, I am not too bad considering thanks. I have scan now in the morning so will give the verdict tomo. x

glad your bleed has stopped and all the best at the scan tomo. x

best of luck for all those scans coming up.

[hope you don't mind me keep checking in but I can't stop popping in to see how you all are]
