Mortified, pink spotting is completely normal. There's. lot going on in there at the moment! But it completely freaks you out when you see it!! Cos of the drugs I'm on from the IVF, I get quite a bit of pink gunk! But it's all good x

Thanks everyone!

HotCrossPun · 18/08/2013 11:54

So glad to hear everything is fine this morning Mortified Thanks

How is everybody else?

I can't believe we are heading into the second trimester. I reckon we are going to get through about 30 threads before we give birth at the rate we're going Grin

SoSurprised · 18/08/2013 11:54

That must be such a relief mortified!

I had my booking in appt today. The midwife is lovely :) and I m 12 weeks today! Can't believe it. Only found out 3 weeks ago. The midwife said I may be due end of feb rather than march (still haven't had dating scan) but I hope I can still hang around here. Grin

MummyPig24 · 18/08/2013 13:47

rosyryan · 18/08/2013 14:07

littleABI · 18/08/2013 16:16

NoMaybeAboutIt · 18/08/2013 16:20

Brilliant news So!!!

MortifiedAdams · 18/08/2013 17:01

So of course you can stay, even if you are a Febber! I couldnt imagine moving threads now.

FrankelInFoal · 18/08/2013 17:30

Glad all seems well again Mortified.

Congrats on being 12 weeks already So, I'm 12 weeks on Tuesday with an EDD of 4th March, so if the Old Wives tale about first babes being early rings true (I was 2 weeks early) then I could well be looking at February too!

Lots of frantic phone calls to make tomorrow to try and confirm the time of my scan Hmm

commsgirl · 18/08/2013 17:51

Can't believe some of you are hitting 12 weeks already, it's going so fast now!

x0gawjus0x · 18/08/2013 18:10

Hope everyones ok will catch up on thread soon lots to read! 12 weeks today and havent felt sick at all! I have however had some sharp shooting pains in my foofa and under my belly button has anyone else had this?

Still pissing like a camel! Just cleaned the bunnies out lovely day today!! Love love xx

lumpylumps · 18/08/2013 18:16

I'm home!!! There's no way I can catch up on the thread so I hope everyone's doing ok. We had a fantastic week in Majorca just chilling and relaxing. I had a couple of symptomless days at first then the nausea came back with a vengeance and the sensitivity to certain smells and foods!!

My biggest problem at the minute is my bladder. I have a retroverted uterus and when I was pregnant with ds2 I ended up in hospital with a catheter in because as the baby grew and my uterus tilted over the right way it trapped my bladder and so I was unable to wee. The hospital were horrible and the consultant poo pooed me when I asked if it was pregnancy related. He basically told me not to be so stupid. Anyway, Dr Google explained what was happening and it was all ok.
It's happening again! I've had problems on and off for the last week or so but today it's really bad I sense another trip to the hospital coming up. I've never had any dealings with the epu do you think I could go there and bypass the horrible a&e people???

On the up side, it means baby's growing so things must be ok. Scan on Friday!!

Rockchick1984 · 18/08/2013 18:18

I'll be 12 weeks on Tue, nausea and food aversions aren't as bad as they were - actually managed to eat a full meal today, and tried a bit of DH's pulled pork not like that you dirty sods without it making me want to hurl! It's worrying me a bit but logically I know symptoms like this ease off around this stage, I'm glad I've only got 4 days til scan day though!!

Gaw is it your scan tomorrow? Re the pains, do some pelvic floor exercises, if its the same as I had it seems to be referred to on here as Lightning Fanjo and is normal, but no one seems to know what causes it!

Speaking of pelvic floor exercises, I hope you are all doing them every day!! You will be glad you did in a few months time, I know far too many people who admit to weeing themselves in later pregnancy or postnatally!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 18/08/2013 18:21

Lumpy I found out at my early scan I've for a retroverted uterus too. I've found the last few days it's been harder to wee, even though I'm desperate! I'm hoping it will right itself soon!! Our EPU aren't great. I don't think they'd see you unless you were bleeding and in pain. A&E may be your best shot. Or maybe a trip to GP and see if they can phone ahead and get you straight through to gynae?

Gawj I have sharp pains just below my bikini line. Just another thing to think about Wink

NoMaybeAboutIt · 18/08/2013 18:22

Rock I do my kegels everyday!!

Coolhand · 18/08/2013 18:31

On no Lumpy think I would def go to GP tmrw, explain the history and ask for next steps. Nomaybe I'd make an appnt with GP as well just in case.

Thanks for reminder on kegels Rock, keep forgetting to do mine!

Think my symptoms are beginning to ease which is a relief. They did bang on 12 weeks last time so hoping I should be feeling more human soon. I have been experiencing lower back pain for weeks now which I didn't have in my last pregnancy. Have tried all kinds of yoga stretches but it's not easing. Think I'll be getting my ball out to sit on soon which seems ridiculous - last time didn't use it until the last 10 weeks or so.

PramQueen1971 · 18/08/2013 18:32

Hello, everyone. Thank you for your good wishes. I will be brief and then I don't want to talk about it again: He arrived home last night at 7.20pm and went straight to the spare room. I literally didn't see his face (I was watching telly in the lounge) all night. I woke up at 12.10pm today and he had gone out. The cats were fed and he'd been for my Sunday paper. I pottered about for an hour then walked through the park to Tesco where I spotted him through a hedge beside the bowling green, alone, with his head in his hands. I ignored him and went on my way. I have only food-shopped for myself. I have been online and filled out a 19-page application form for social housing to be near my mum. 'Twould be a massive wait normally but, as I'm pregnant and my home is being demolished mid-September, I'm assuming this will give me some priority.

I thought I would feel lonely but, largely, I don't; he's hardly here anyway and when he is he is shattered.

I, too, am getting stabby pin-pricks up my vadge but am ignoring them.

I am mostly saddened by the fact that this pregnancy has become joyless since The Trouble. I am aware, however, that this is natural with what's going on, so I'm unperturbed.

I wish you all my friends in RL; I'm regretting fucking all mine off in recent years...

x0gawjus0x · 18/08/2013 18:32

Ah ok rock and maybe must be norm then? Have it for like 5 mins an hour mostly in foof but had some in me belly!
