Welcome aboard the June 2015 bus... Moving towards 12 week scans

Stats docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/tidWbZTzcxGNRcAB0lGlwkA/htmlview?pli=1

Btw I am 6+5 by my doctor's dates but only 5+4 by my own count.

Hi MsJupiter, Ive experienced something very similar heavy bleed and clots. I went to A&E at as it was weekend and EPU was closed. Had some bloods done then advised to go to EPU on monday. I was 5+4 then and from the internal scan I was reassured that everything was fine and they could see a gestational sac and yolk sac.

msJupiter I really hope this bleeding is just one of those pregnancy things, will keep everything crossed for you

I had bleeding with dc2 at 12wks for an entire weekend. Went to A&E and all was fine and was sent home and it stopped. Again it was just one of those things which happens to be a worrying and anxious time when it does happen.

I am addicted to Frazzles. I've had three packets today and I could easily eat more. My boobs are huge and I'm waiting to be outed!

Hope things work out ok Jupiter wishing good health for you.

Glad your examination went well mrsk

I've just taken some measurements so that i can track my growth just out of interest. Will do it every do often.

I had my booking appointment today - midwife not very sympathetic! asked i anything was worrying me and I said -well, I can't really eat anything and she cut me right off with' morning sickness is normal' then a bit later told me I was dehydrated and should drink more!! do you think I don't know that? and would drink more if I could?? GPs have been so much more sympathetic! I saw her notes and she said 'reassured patient' and I wish I could have gone back and made her change them to 'ignored patients health concerns' to be accurate about it. that's my rant, had to let it out!!

Thank you so much for the reassurance everyone. I feel a lot calmer than when I posted earlier. I spoke to the doctor who was amazing, she actually made me cry more by being so kind. She will refer me for an EPU appt on Monday but said just to rest over the weekend and see what happens, if it is a mc there is nothing that can stop it but not to give up hope as it could just be a bleed.

I've been to the loo a few dozen times since and it has dwindled which is a good sign. I guess it will become clearer in the next few days if it's getting worse. I do feel like I am having twinges of tummy pain but it could be psychosomatic.

I have felt much calmer in this pg than last time but completely went to pieces earlier. Made me realise how much I want this.

Hope things improve soon jupiter

Just went to the supermarket and have not decided DP will have to do it until the nausea subsides - this is the second time I've tried and the second time I've come out with a minuscule shop that won't last the week and consists entirely of completely bland, completely unnutritious processed food because that's the only thing I can even stomach putting in the trolley. That said I am extremely wary of sending DP and ending up with a fridge full of kinder bueno and obscure European lagers.

have now decided

Sunbathing it does seem a ridiculous scenario doesn't it! I've pretty much done no work for 4 weeks. I've just been too weak. Today I have managed one packet of mini cheddars. I will be contacting my gp on Monday to discuss the meds the consultant heamatologist recommended for my stomach problems. But clearly my anaemia is just going to get worse. I know this from experience, but until it does I don't think they'll bend the rules. I've just got to get to april when I can start iv treatment safely.

Oh and I think twins is unlikely although possible of course. I'm not sporting my bump anymore. It's just disappeared. I've lost half a stone so maybe that's why or maybe my hormones might be settling. But we will know for sure tomorrow.

Welcome new ladies! I hope your bleeding settles.

I have felt nauseous on and off all day. Full fat pepsi seems to sort me out but can feel my teeth rotting as I drink it.

Today I've found a lump in my labia. I had it a few weeks ago and it disappeared so I cancelled my GP appt then, but have made another now and will keep it this time. A little scared - hoping it's just a cyst.

Gr3 could be a glad? But obviously get it checked. I have one that comes up in my groin and armpit when I'm run down.

I meant a gland! Not glad sorry

HTF my notes in my last pregnancy always read like that. I would complain about aches and pains and fatigue and carpal tunnel etc etc and my notes would say "mum well". Wtf? I think it's midwife speak tbh, but as always, it's a shame there's so little actual care in some parts of the NHS. Midwife appointments always felt a bit like box ticking, but as long as my bp and wee were ok, suppose I should feel lucky that's the case.

Happy Birthday ots great day for it!

MrsK so glad to hear your scan showed all ok. I hope the pain eases very soon.

Hugs mrsjupiter, I hope will be ok. Make sure you do rest.

Thank you for congrats lovely ladies, it feels a little bit more real now and the fear of being rushed off for emergency surgery has subsided now, scary stuff.

Hello all, hope you don't mind me joining! I found this thread yesterday, had a good read and felt pleased to know there was somewhere I could turn should I need to... Wishing love and luck to all of you.
I'm currently 5+5 (according to lmp) and have thus far had a fairly simple ride. Very little nausea, no cramps etc. was beginning to wonder if everything was plodding along as it should be! Until tonight... It's nearly midnight and I'm curled up in a ball on my sofa with excruciating cramps. Everything I've read seems to say if no bleeding then this is normal - but at what point does 'cramping' turn into horrendous stabbing pain!?!? Walking around isn't helping, hot water bottle, I've tried sitting on the toilet incase it was wind (tmi sorry) but it is not shifting and has now been 30minutes.
I really don't know how concerned I should be.... Am I being a paranoid first timer?! X

Sorry to all of those worrying about cramps.

If it's any reassurance for my first two pregnancies I had loads of very strong cramps. In fact with this pregnancy (my 3rd) I've only had cramps at about 5.5-6 weeks.

Now I've started worrying because I'm not cramping and I'm worried it means my uterus isn't expanding as it should

Did any of you June ladies on their second plus pregnant cramp in your first pg but not in your second?

Pregnancy not pregnant. Damn you autocorrect

Iwant, I haven't cramped with either pregnancy but obviously my uterus still expanded last time! So it just shows that each pregnancy is different. I just got Chinese burn type feelings at around 2-3 weeks (literally just after conception), in both pregnancies.

I did iwant. Last time ended up in a & e panicking about ectopic. No cramps this time I guess things don't need to stretch this time as it's already done the stretching before.

Panic if you do, panic if you don't! There no winning is there?

I've had bad cramps this time but then I'm not typical to compare to. Tbh some of my pregnancies have blended into each other (9 in all) and I couldn't tell you which ones they've been bad in or not. I know it hurt the first time and the fifth and this is the sixth. But I've had mc too 3 in all at various stages between 9-7 weeks and had cramps with those I believe. I really don't think it has a baring. Cramping coupled with blood or cramping to one side are the dangerous things to look out for. Think my body is just knackered this time and each day it's groaning at me "not again"! I've also got endomitriosis to cramping is part of every day life for me. Sometimes hard to tell what's going on.
