ashboo76 · 26/03/2015 21:09

And can I take paracetomol I'm 6 weeks tomo? Google says yes .......gosh that sounds very rubbish

CishAndFips · 26/03/2015 21:29

ash paracetamol is about the only thing u can take in pregnancy, for pain relife anyway. thinking of you

ashboo76 · 26/03/2015 21:38

Thank you Cishandfips thought it would help me sleep to night night all xx

bugoven · 26/03/2015 21:41

Sorry to see so many of you with worries and spotting. A friend of mine had 5 healthy DC, she experienced several bleeds with every one of her pregnancies. Thoughts are with you Thanks

annatha · 26/03/2015 21:46

Thanks mamama!

Mama 61 hours?! Owch! I was really lucky, it was the hardest thing I've ever done but was very "wham bam thankyou mam" and went really smoothly. This little blueberry has a lot to live up to!

halestone · 26/03/2015 22:27

Ash i had quite a few bleeds with Dd and shes a happy thing who still refuses to sleep I have had a bleed during this pregnancy as well, and had a scan that confirms a heartbeat. The midwife thinks i'm just one of those women who bleeds whilst pregnant.

I dreamt I won £150000 on the lottery by untying a knot in a balloon and then got shot in the face by my old work colleague's crazy girlfriend. Confused

Karmanna13 · 27/03/2015 08:36

Morning all, and good luck to those with early scans today! I've got one next Wednesday at 7+1 due to previous ectopic. Does anyone know whether a scan at 7 weeks is internal or external, i.e. do I need to do some grooming?! I was hoping for external as my mum works in the EPU and it will be her colleague doing the scan and I kind of know here so I'd feel a bit odd if it was internal. :S

ashboo76 · 27/03/2015 08:51

Thank you all so much at 4am I woke up to pee and no pain or bleeding which is such a relief! Feel loads better and have day off to rest .... Very happy again fx it was just embedding xxx will ring epu coz I'm A negative and report bleeding just on the safe side

Mamama31 · 27/03/2015 08:59

I had a dream that my friend was in labour and I was in the room with her, it was so real.

Thetravellinglemon hahaha! Your dream is crazy! Love it!!!!!

Ash so glad to hear the bleeding has stopped what a relief for you! But yes def speak to epu, won't do any harm to get checked out anyway.

Karmanna I'm not sure if 7wk scan would be internal or external sorry, maybe someone else can help??

I've been awake since 5.50am...these are mornings are so not me.......

Mamama31 · 27/03/2015 09:00

Lovely ladies having scans today...all the best...cant wait to hear all about it :)

halestone · 27/03/2015 09:27

Karmanna my 7 week scan was internal.

Good luck to those having scans todayThanks

So much to do today for my nan and grandads 50th wedding anniversary. I feel like rubbish and Dd is full of cold. Plus i also had weird dreams whuch kept waking me.

BowiesJumper · 27/03/2015 09:41

Morning all! Good luck to the scanners!

Is anyone else terrified the whole time? I'm using an optimist but I'm having trouble seeing 'this' as real and am just assuming things will go wrong. I've read on here about too many missed miscarriages found at the 12wk scan so now I'm scared of that!

An actual baby seems so far away! Is it just me? I'm sure I'll be better after my 12wk scan if it's good, but that's still a month away!

Sorry for the negative vibe. On occasion I allow myself to be positive too! Grin

Mamama31 · 27/03/2015 09:47

Bowies I had a full meltdown yesterday over the tiniest bit of beige tinged discharge. I really was being dramatic but I felt so petrified something might go wrong. Having talked to my friend and hubby about this I have decided to try and take each day as it comes and I've woke up this morning and said to myself "I am pregnant today, I will be calm and positive" so if I can do that each day I'm hoping it will reduce my anxiety. It sounds crazy I know, but I've waited so long for this I don't want to ruin my pregnancy experience by being petrified each day.

I also might go private for an 8wk scan for some reassurance.

TwoBeesInTheHive · 27/03/2015 09:48

so the diet of dry crackers and breadsticks starts today. I've been feeling nautious for a good few days now but it really hit this morning. thankfully haven't thrown up yet. here's hoping I won't and I just feel sick not actually be sick. I'm only 5+5 don't know why I've got it so early this time. hopefully it's not a sign it will be longer and worse than the others Sad

hope the scans go ok today. I haven't even booked in with the midwife yet, a scan seems ages away!

Hi bowies I totally agree while I'm not terrified I'm so overwhelmed by it all I cried several times yesterday then was ecstatic again ... I'm with mama one day at a time may make it long but your sanity is important too after another 6 weeks we will know (ie scan) and then the excitement can start... be brave .... God this sucks lol WinkSmileConfused

ninjabeer · 27/03/2015 09:52

Hi Bowies I think it perfectly natural to worry. I have been freaking myself out about missed miscarriages too but read somewhere that it is rare at only 1% of pregnancies. I am trying to steer clear of Doctor Google on this one as it is not helping. Try and stay positive, I'm telling myself not to wish the time away but to enjoy the journey, easier said than done of course!

Mamama31 · 27/03/2015 09:59

Yes ladies let try to stay positive, I'm usually so good at that sort of thing but this has thrown me in to a state of anxiety! But no more! We should only worry when it is confirmed that we have something to worry about....lets try and enjoy our pregnancies, I really want to, ive waited so long for this I don't want to ruin it with insane thoughts!

ashboo76 · 27/03/2015 10:04

So if we are having a positive day ... I've got a new symptom the metallic taste in my mouth I'm so happy! ... Yes I'm weird but I've not been nauseas needed a new symptom to make me believe Grin

BowiesJumper · 27/03/2015 10:08

Ok, POSITIVE THOUGHTS.

WE ARE ALL STRONG, INDEPENDENT WOMEN (channeling Friends) WHO ARE PREGNANT AND HAPPY Grin

thatduck · 27/03/2015 10:09

Good morning all, I'm now super stressed we have just found out that we are moving to Scotland at the end of the month so I now have to pack our whole house and move away from all my friends and family right when my hormones and emotions are all over the place :'(
