I the end I called triage because I couldnt get through to my own midwife. They said go home and rest, put a pad on so i can monitor it, call back if anything changes for the worse.

So I am home in bed now.

It must be the tinest amount because there is nothing much at all now and it's all been brown no red or even pink.
I'm sure it's fine really but always worth resting if they say so.
I said to the midwife at triage that I had had this with my DD at 13 weeks and it was put down to implantation. She said it was a bit late in weeks for that now.
My scan is not until 3 weeks on Monday and the midwife at my 16 week app last monday refused to listen for a heart beat. So I am going to have to wait quite a while now to know it is all ok. Though as I say it's no doubt fine but I would love to know that for sure!

detective buy the cardi in two sizes, you won't regret it!

mrswee Im not sure if its funny or scary how one midwife says one thing and another says the opposite!! Mine said it was implantation and I would have been 17+1 on Monday.

Thanks for all your kind words. She really is a pain in the arse. I was too taken aback to say anything last night. Maybe pregnancy has made me less confrontational? A woman clipped my car in the pool car park today (not a mark on either car so wasn't bothered) then had the audacity to jump out of her car when I beeped at her for starting to reverse into me afterwards and starting shouting and swearing standing in the middle of the road!!?!? I must attract nutjobs. In the past I'd have got out of my car and pointed out to her exactly why she was the one in the wrong, but today I locked my doors and drove off around her before reporting her to the police. I've become far too much of a wimp....

Hope all is okay mrswee. I had a slight brownishy discharge when I was about 10 weeks and put it down to old blood. Brown is definitely better than red in all cases as it's dead blood cells as opposed to fresh blood, so if it was anything serious you probably would have known about it days ago. Not much consolation I'm sure but I hope it helps!

On a plus note, I got my uni results back this morning and have passed my degree with a pretty decent mark! So so pleased, I can finally concentrate on the new chapter of my life of motherhood and developing my business without any stress of academia to deal with! DH is taking me out for dinner and mocktails tonight to celebrate - woop woop! I went to attempted to go to an aquanatal class this morning, but my satnav took me to the wrong pool. Probably my fault. Had a nice 40 minute swim though instead so was feeling very chilled pre car-park incident! Still no real feelings of movement, damn those stomach muscles!

Quick question. On my scan report is says foetal heartbeat not present. This has to be an error would you bother calling them or not? I obv work there and know errors happen but still!!! There is also a sentence which says single live foetus?!

Mrswee fingers crossed all ok.

Hope your okay mrswee and put your feet up and rest

Jus had our scan and everything with little one is fine and were joining team pink can't believe it was convinced it would be a boy but so so happy!

Congrats nervous!!!!! Brilliant news :)

Congrats Nervous. Another girl finally! We need lots more girls.

Congratulations nervous - we were definitely due a girl on here :)

And congratulations and well dome on your degree missmummy

Yay nervous glad there's another girl!

Is anyone else feel exhausted? I fell asleep on the sofa earlier (ds played on his own bless him) but I just have NO motivation to do anything.

Congratulations nervous lovely news.

So I put my maternity jeans on today to try them out for size and they are too big! The round the bump bit is ok, they are over the bump and I can adjust that, but they are hanging off my hips and bum. So it looks like I might need to get some new ones in a smaller size. Bit annoying as I was hoping to get away without spending too much on maternity clothes this time round but I've had my eye on a pair of skinny mat jeans so at least I can justify getting them now!

Just popping in to mark my place. Had physio yesterday and have SPD so been fitted for a belt and have a lovely tubigrip for bump, i didnt know they came that big!

Congratulations missmummy and nervous!
thechick it is a little disconcerting how one midwife will say something and another disagree. I would have been more reassured had she said it sounds like implantation rather saying it probably isn't and offering no other explanation leaving my mind to wander and think about all the other stuff it could possibly be!

We DTD on Saturday and Sunday first and probably the last time this preg now! Poor DH.
Might be a reason for spotting though I guess.

Nervous Congratulations, a girl!
MissMummy Well done you!

Crikey MrsWee The only time I ever DTD 2 days on the run is if I've been drinking all weekend I don't think I'll ever do it twice a WEEK ever again at this rate.

DH I'm bloody knackered too! It's a weird tiredness, it's in my eyes and I know if I go to bed I will just sleep and sleep rather than just laze around the house.

I've painted the back garden fence today and done a bit of shopping as well as general house work. A weekend of double shifts to look forward too now, don't know how long I can keep them up for now though.

Congratulations, miss and nervous.

Today I picked up my mat b1 form as I have to get it in by the next two weeks with it all filled out, and dates settled for mat leave.
I have also been back into town, ( when living in devon it's a pain) to look at prams again. I now have three prams that I like. In my search none of them have been perfect, it's a bit like looking for a house all over again.

1. Oyster
2. Mamas and papas sola
3. Baby jogger city mini.

I'd love the uppababy, but it's way too expensive.

I'm 22 weeks now and the baby kicks everyday, no pattern yet.

Tomorrow I'm off to Avebury to see some friends, it's about a 3 hour drive (another not so nice thing about living in Devon)

Mrswee, I hope everything is ok.
Evil.

lol shellybobbs that's DH's quota for the rest of this year I think.
The most naughty thing I'll be doing in bed for the rest of this year is resting while eating a Magnum ice cream like I am just now!

I've even taken to pretending to be asleep when he comes up after I've sneeked to bed. Never thought I'd do that

OMG ShellyBobbs I do that to!!! I'm just not in the mood for it AT ALL. Have dtd once or twice in the past month and I've just not enjoyed it. I feel awful for making him suffer, but hey ho, sure he'll get over it!

evil have you had a look at the mutsy EVO or uppababy cruz. We loved the vista but its too expensive and these too look great and less money!

I went off sex when I first found out I was pregnant because I just felt like crap and partly because I was worried about hurting the baby before 12 weeks. Silly I know. But the last couple of weeks I have wanted it loads more than usual I may go the other way again though when I get a massive bump.

Congratulations on your degree missmummy, what's your business going to do?

And another girl, finally! That's great Nervous. Did you get to Peterborough in the end?

I'm not feeling at all pregnant today, just fat. Can't wait to feel some movement or make it to my 20 week scan (18 days to go) so I know everything's ok. Is there ever a point when we stop worrying?

Haha I've totally managed to start a conversation about sex!
applepie I was the same as you, it changed this weekend and I really wanted to.
The start of SPD has put me off a bit though and now this spotting.. I'll probably not bother again for a while.

misslaughalot I was wondering that too. I don't think we will. I have worried about this baby every day since I got two lines on the pregnancy test and probably will for the rest of my life.

misslaughalot my degree was in teaching. I've been a freelance tutor the whole way through and have now worked out that I am earning twice what I would teaching part time, for a lot less hours, effort and responsibility! So have deferred my probation year for a few years to concentrate on developing the business as a back up in case I can't get full time work afterwards (there's virtually no teaching posts up here in Scotland...). Oh and I got pregnant 5 months before I was due to start it - oops!

That's so exciting gardenpixes I've only been thinking that they are girls since she said, its will be very wierd for them to be boys now but we will know on monday!!

Can I ask, what are you getting in terms of movements? On my scans the one on my right they call twin 1, she has been transverse and then breech and I seem to get the majority of movements on that side. Twin 2 has been breech for the last 2 scans and I hardly ever feel anything on that side, I'm wondering if its because twin 2 is probably still breech? I say movements, they are still flutters really and not at all regular. I will get a load of activity then nothing for a few days or a week. It's starting to get a bit more regular now though. I'm not worried, just curious.

I think I'm resigned to a life of worry apple, although hopefully I'm hiding it well!

missmummy that's really interesting. I'm a former primary school teacher, left in 2007 because I had no life other than teaching, and 4 months later met my DP and look at us now! I'd go back to it if it was just about working with the children each day (and if we had another government who wasn't insistent on taking our school system back to the 1900s). I never tried tutoring but can imagine its the best bits of teaching without the school! Good luck with it all!
