Hi all! Another thread, wow, we talk so much!
Just wanted to ask if anyone else with a toddler has noticed them being different since becoming pregnant. I'm sure my DD is a lot more clingy than she was a few weeks ago. Now, the two could be unrelated and she doesn't know or really understand yet about the baby in mummy's tummy - but it seems strange. Anyway, I'd be interested to know if anyone else is in the same boat.
Ecohippymum - please don't worry. I had what you describe throughout my first pregnancy. I also used to panic before going to the loo in case I might find anything and if I did, I'd feel physically sick. However, it's super normal, particularly darker, old blood spotting, and since having DD and talking to other mums, lots of people I know had something similar. It's just not talked about so much! TMI but it was always worse after DTD... There was also no pattern and I'd go weeks without then have two weeks with and so it went on. The most reassuring thing I found was once I could feel baby moving, I knew she was ok so was able to stop worrying quite so much.
I had a tiny bit of brown spotting a couple of weeks ago with this pregnancy and whilst I panicked initially, I didn't do anything about it until my Dr's appt last week. When I told her, she said it was just normal for me and not to worry. The only thing to think about is if you are rhesus negative blood group, as I am, and have more significant bleeding, you'll need to get an early anti-D injection but that's no biggie really. Fingers crossed for you.
