New thread

bronze I'm still pretty much in denial and not doing anything about going to see the GP/midwife until after my 6 week scan at my fertility clinic next week.

I find I feel a bit less shit when I'm sipping a mug of boiling water with fresh ginger slices in it. But immediately feel shit again when it runs out. Working tonight,not sure how that's going to go...

Hi to the new people

Congrats Natalie

Doctor's this morning. It was a new doctor - 1st time i have seen her..... was very funny when i said i was pg, she said "1st baby?" i said "6th" and she nearly fell of her chair

just a quick chat, blood pressure done, and booked to see mw next Thurs.

By her reckoning I will be 8 wks tomorrow - due on the 2nd Oct...... but with my cycles being all over the place, I really have no idea - so we shall see!

Is anyone else self employed and wondering quite what they're gonna do once their bubbles are born? X

Hi everyone, just catching up and Congrats Natalie how exciting for you!
It seems a few of us have had our dates changed quite alot my early scans.
I am feeling very non pregnant today and having my own little worry. Ive gone from being sick every day to not even feeling sick today... I did have a great nights sleep so am hoping its just that. Not that Im complaining if I could know bean was ok and not feel sick that would be perfect.
sorry to anyone whos started ms today, maybe I gave you mine.

Hi everyone, not posted for a while. Gosh, there's been lots going on! Just read through about a weeks' worth of postings - took me almost an hour haha!

Congrats Natalieand wonderful news on twins

Unfortunately, I've had a very bumpy weekend. On Sat evening, I had some bright red spotting (sorry TMI) - it scared the crap out of me. Went to see an out of hours GP and she said there's no way of knowing whether it would develop into a miscarriage over the next few days. They couldn't scan me because it was a weekend. So I spent Sunday, Monday and today constantly on knicker watch. I haven't had any more red blood since that one time on Saturday; just been having some dark brown spotting. Yesterday I started getting these mild stabbing pains in the centre lower abdomen and immediately thought the worst. But today the brown spotting has reduced to minimal amount and the stabbing pains are much less frequent (on the point of almost disappearing).

I still have very sore boobs (which have gotten worse since Saturday) and still very hungry and tired. Also, I started to get visible veins over my boobs yesterday. So I hope they're all good signs, although I am well aware that you can still continue with pregnancy symptoms even if it's all gone wrong in there.

They haven't offered me an early scan, and not sure whether to push for one just to see what's going on... My GP said there was a risk that they wouldn't be able to find a heartbeat as I'm only 6weeks 4days and that might make me even more anxious.

Unfortunately, all this meant that we had to tell DH's mum and dad when we were both really stressed out on Sunday. Not exactly the nicest way to tell them about their first grandchild! I've also had to take two days off work and now I feel like I have to tell them why, as I let them down big time by not going into work the last two days.

Wow, this really wasn't how I imagined telling people

Sal and Strawberry I think I remember reading that you both had some issues recently, how are you both?

Sorry for the mememe post (and really long!). Feel like I'm reeling from the scariest few days I've ever had.

Pinkbuttons me too and it's got me all worried. Trying to reassure myself that my boobs are still bigger and sensitive and still doing lots of wee trips, but its not helping much. This time last week I was really feeling very queasy, so it's quite odd for it to suddenly disappear.

Roll on MW appointment next Monday and scan in a few weeks I guess.

oh no mini sorry for your awful few days. I would definitely get in touch with gp again with regards to spotting and pain, would say you should definitely be offered an early scan and as long as your aware that they may not see a heartbeat yet it would surely till give you some reassurance and help with whether you need to tell work.
obsessive how far along are you? im only 7 weeks today and a bit confused, guess ill just have to hope sickness is back tomorrow (never thought id say that)

getting obsessivepinkbuttons I am only a few days ahead and mines has come and gone from terrible to hardly there too I think its normal.

mini im so sorry your going through that the epu should see you. There is a epu info page on the net you can self refer if you have been a patient before numbers are there and opening hours no need for gp referal

Hi there, I found out yesterday that I am pregnant by using a first response test. Af is due on Friday so playing the waiting game, however several bfps were nice and strong. We got married last July and have been trying since Xmas. Can't quite believe that I am pregnant and keep waiting for something horrible to happen!

Hi Mini

Yes! I had some watery pink/red spotting on the loo roll on Saturday afternoon and evening and then a big of brown discharge type stuff (only a tiny bit) on Sunday morning. I took some paracetamols early Sunday morning as I felt really crampy but that's eased off now.

Went to the docs on Monday morning and she's booked me in for an early scan on Thursday when I'll be 6+5.

It's fairly common apparently and I've since spoken to a couple of people who had it at pretty much exactly 6 weeks.

I would push for an early scan as its surely better to know either way if its a duffer or not.

Let me know how you get on. Xx

Hi can I join in??
I am only 5+3 and it will be dc3...however after a mmc and a cp I am very happy and very worried....

Roofio, I think scar rupture is the main reason as Celtic stated but it's pretty rare,wwith myself, it's more a risk of baby being breech again that I'm concerned about... I will be demanding extra scans and will be having another section if this one is as awkward as dd2!!

Well, today has been another good day, still no symptoms at all!! No sore boobs, no ms, no nothing. Not sure if it's a good thing or not now. Just going yo have to wait til the 12 week scan and try not to be such a nervous Nelly!!

Just settling little miss then it's time for me to chill out with dh ir

I had forgotton how nerve wracking every twinge is. Have been getting sharp pains if I cough, turn sharply or lifting DS.

Those of you who are worried about spotting I do remember having spotting at 6w last time and having some days where symptoms seemed to have gone but all was fine and have since met lots of mum friends who had the same thing so try to relax though not easy I know.
Had very bad ms with DS so hope that will be different but had first upchuck today (am only 4w). Also had really bad heart burn with DS (Rennies and more Rennies) and all the nurses said it was cause he had lots of hair (he did!)
Well DH away and DS sparko so am off to bed

Hi there
I am due on 25/10/13 I have 2 dc's aged 11 and 8 and have had 3 mc's since last one being 19/12/12 I am now 4+4 and have been referred to a consultant fingers crossed I get passed the dreaded 8 weeks which I have not last 3 times

Pinkbuttons I am same as you, 7 weeks today, we are due date buddies

thanks for the messages girls. It's such a relief to come on here and be able to talk to people about it.

It does seem like quite a few people experience spotting round about 6 weeks so trying to keep my hopes up at this point.

Thanks thefalconsmistress for the advice. This is my first time pregnant so not sure if I can still self-refer to epu? I might call them anyway and see what they say.

Sal do let me know how you get on on Thursday xx

gettingobssessive and pinkbuttons me too!! bring on the 9th October (or there abouts!! )

Mousy I've a 4month old aswel.
I would think they would insist on another c section as ur last scar hasn't healed fully. But check with dr and discuss it.

Hayley I'm on same meds. Made massive difference interns of vomming. But still feel sick.

Welcome notsoold, LandsN and Jaseslu and congrats on the bfp's
Falcon - hope your scan goes well on Friday
Natalie - congrats on the twins
bronze - it seems like each area is different. I had a gp app and following that I made an app with the mw. After that first app, the mw booked my scan and I have had a date for that through. She also made a date for my booking in app, which is on Friday.
Try not to worry and feel free to ask questions on here - there are some very experienced mums on here

Hi everyone, I lost you all in the move over here! Still pootling along with no symptoms at 5+4, except it hurts a bit when I BF DS.
I hope everyone with spotting and any other worries are doing ok x

gettingobsessive, pinkbuttons, roofio87 and me! High fives all round...

Got my first MW appt tomorrow. Hoping for a "everything is going very well and you're actually at 12 weeks already there's nothing to worry about..." Etc etc

mousey i have a 4 month old too by emcs, my scar has healed fine and i saw the mw yesterday and she said it would be fine for me to have a vbac if i wanted to do so. I said theres no way im pushing an 11lb-er through my lady bits! Any volunteers for that one? No thanks, id rather have an elcs, no matter how much id love a natural birth x

All this spotting is scary, I didn't suffer with any spotting with my dd1.
6 weeks today!!! Was only 3+3 when I found out and 6 weeks sounds so much more substantial lol. How r everyone's symptoms? Also wondering what everyone's living arrangement are? Me and hubby currently live in a 2 bed house and was hoping to move to a 3 bed before baby arrive but now there's 2 babies on the way I think we deffo need to move before the birth but don't wanna jump the gun before 12 weeks as I no u are at risk of loosing one twin before the 12 week mark.

And seriously is n e one else peeing a lot? 3 times I've been up tonight to pee I feel like I've been awake all night as with hubby's snoring it takes forever to fall back asleep!!! Sorry for the rant

Hope everyone's keeping well :-) xxxx
