Essex I also think you should call your midwives, it's what they're there for, they won't think you're fussing, honest :)
There should be a number in your folder of notes to call. Or just ring the hospital switchboard and ask for the midwife team.

Hopefully it's nothing but better to check, for peace of mind if nothing else :)

essexwelsh I agree that calling your midwife is a good idea. Better safe than sorry.

mama I hope that baby is not in distress and pray that you can both hold on for another few weeks. I am so sorry that your scan brought stressful news after all you have been through.

Our scan on Thursday revealed that baby's heart had stopped. Labour was induced the next day. Baby was a girl--Rachel. This is not our first late loss so not completely out of the blue.

I will continue to follow the threads and I look forward to births in April.

cadmum I'm so so so sorry no word can really express, I wish you all well and take time for yourself x

mama I have everything crossed for you and your little boy and hoping the next 2 weeks go quickly x

edinfirst · 26/11/2012 09:34

cadmum all my thoughts are with you. No matter whether it was out of the blue or not I cannot imagine how you deal with that news. I hope you have all the support you need in RL and do take the time you need for yourself. Lots of un-MN hugs.

growyourown77 · 26/11/2012 10:06

cadmum I'm so sorry for your loss, that's just so sad. Lovely that you named her, but so sorry you've had to go through this. Hugs.

JessieEssex · 26/11/2012 11:26

cadmum you poor thing - I'm so sorry for you. I can't imagine how awful it must be to have to deal with that. I hope we can all send you some strength to help you through.

JessieEssex · 26/11/2012 11:27

essexwelsh I have had similar - midwife says that's it's nothing to worry about and if it is part of the plug, it can regenerate. She said that (tmi alert!) sex or straining for a poo can cause it.
Still worth calling your midwife though for peace of mind.

EssexWelsh · 26/11/2012 11:55

So sorry cadmum you are already being so strong, best of luck with the coming days.

I spoke to midwife who told me to phone local EPAU, they took details, asked if I had had sex, yes we DTD yesterday (3rd time since finding out), so they said was probably that, but the amount and texture has put me on edge a bit. Triage midwife told me to rest today and monitor any changes and if I get any pain call straight away.

Again sorry cadmum don't want to take away from what you are currently experiencing.

Trishstar · 26/11/2012 12:40

Cadmum I'm so sorry for your loss xxx nothing we will say can take away your hurt and upset. Just stay strong xxxx

Mama1980 · 26/11/2012 12:42

Wow cadmum that's so sad. Even if it's happened before nothing takes away from the sadness of it, especially this far on. Hope you get all the support and rest you need.

I was going to post about accidentally eating goat's cheese. Seems a bit trivial now!

ratbagcatbag · 26/11/2012 17:45

So sorry cadmum, nothing I can say will make it any better but just to know I'm thinking of you and will light a candle tonight for you and your daughter. Big hugs. X
