[DizziDoll]

Thread n2 for those due in May 2013

and I have a sharp pain at my lower back (or my right kidney -they're both there)

pear not nosey at all. We have only been on 4 dates (they very long dates ? like weekends with each other) Anyway being pregnant we have decided to halt our ?relationship? are just focus on the baby (but still keep an eye on it) We live in different cities but he is going to try and come down for all the appointments and things. Imagining it will be strange for the first few times.

Welcome babygeek and seven

:( jen and RT with any luck it will soon pass.

I?m running on empty at the moment as well boo but have things to do.
Oh fuck think that is someone at my front door - eeek

tweety89. Oh crap- its a big worry for you. Don't give up yet- lots of people bleed even quite a lot and all can be fine. Thinking of you :-( xx

tweety fx for you Hun x

thanks scooby and pear.
They just called me back and told me to go to the A&E only if I feel light-headed, get a lot of discharge or red blood. Otherwise, and I quote; 'it's absolutely normal to have this when pregnant'. huh?
So I guess if I don't get any other symptoms I'll know after the first scan.

tweety are you tempted to go to A&E anyway for peace of mind? Sorry that you have to deal with a stressful situation like this, it's not fun :-(

peardrop do you think I should? I don't think that you can get a scan at A&E, can you? I was thinking of calling my GP tomorrow morning and try to arrange an early scan.

tweety I've had friends who have bled and gone to A&E and got an early scan. Once you're there I don't think they can turn you away. Only you know what's best for you though. Like you say, ringing your GP in the morning might get you an early scan at the early pregnancy unit.

tweety I take it you're not light headed and don't have the other things they said?

tweety I think it's a good idea to try to get an early scan tomorrow through your GP. Tbh I wouldn't have thought A&E would do much unless you've got heavy bleeding or cramps. When I started bleeding when I had my mc I was pretty much told to just wait, and that if in a few days the test was still positive then they'd scan. And remember statistically speaking you're more likely to bleed and everything be ok than to miscarry.

peardrop no, I don't have any other symptoms and no tummy pain either. just the discharge and a sharp backache.
seven thanks, let's hope I get a chance to see or speak to my GP tomorrow (our surgery is really busy...), so I can ask for the scan.

Try not to panic tweety, I've been continuously spotting for over two weeks now. I had an early scan to check all ok. I was told very normal to happen and my issue is they think, I have an irritated cervix which is shedding cells (i think thats what they said) which is causing the spotting. They seem to worry more for severe cramping and heavy blood. Try to take it easy. They do do scans at A&E if you wanted or do what I did and book in with EPU for a scan, just to reassure. They checked all round the baby for me to make sure there was no blood around there, which there wasn't. Good luck and just try to stay calm because it is very normal to bleed in pregnancy, there is a whole thread on it on here that Zi found helpful. X

tweety well that's positive that you don't have any other symptoms they described! Deep breaths and maybe have an afternoon nap if you can manage it :-)

picklep did you ask for the scan through your GP?
peardrop I wish...DD1 is waking up now...

Tweety - I've been having brown spotting every time I over-exert myself - digging the garden, sex, building a bookcase - and several people told me it was normal and only to worry if it was bright red and there was lots of it. Keep us posted on what happens though... FX for you.

Freaky dreams - last night I was having sex with Tom Cruise (in Top Gun days not as current weird type) while helping him look for his lost cat. Beat that :) DH not massively impressed when I mentioned it while still half asleep this morning though

Craving sweet things, and I NEVER want sweet things normally. But then the majority of men in DH's line of work have girls so it wouldn't be a massive shock.

tweety no, i called The Early Pregnancy Unit (EPU) at the local hospital, told them what was happening, they were really helpful in making me feel calmer, told me how common it was and booked me in for the next available scan.

aw tweety hope you doing ok? Is it heavy or light, dark or light coloured? If you haven't got cramping or proper bleeding then that is all good, and as the others have said spotting in early pg is incredibly common! have you still got pg symptoms etc?

If you go to A and E they will see you and give you a scan, though of course you could be there for hours. Better than waiting till tomorrow if you are worried tho? They might not send you for a scan at the drs but ask you to wait it out - it depends on your pg history I think and how bad it all is... Can you self refer to your EPU? it should say online. hth.

afm the scan was fine today, cried with relief. baby measures 7 weeks bang on which is fab for my dates.

I like salty sweet things - am dreaming of finding the perfect salty chocolate covered nuts.

rt I have been feeling very peaky indeed but not actually been sick. Nearly... Started at 6+2 (well, 6+0 according to new dates) and today is the best day I have had off it so far, and put this down to three nights of having LOTs of sleep... tomorrow will be different am sure.

lol at your dream weather!

I keep dreaming that DHs best friend doesn't like me and thinks I am a freak. DH assures me he does like me and I think after knowing the man for 12 years I would know this too! paranoia!

wild I'm so pleased to hear that your scan went well. It is a massive relief!

Thank you, it is pear! I feel like a weight has been lifted and I can tuck into my odd foods and feel like death for an actual reason now :) bloody miscarriages, ruin everything they do!

Glad the scan went well wilde!!

that's great news wilde, must be a wave of relief and joy flooding over!

hope you're doing okay tweety!

x posted, thanks pickle and fertility :)

weather how strange, I've been dreaming about shagging all kinds of random people - nearly every night! I'm waking up exhausted ;)

Welcome Seven babygeek and milk and all other newbies I've missed on this thread (moves too fast to follow!)

Tweety don't worry, spotting is worrying but surprisingly common, let us know how you get on.
