LittleGrey so glad your scan went well

FuzzyOwl · 21/04/2016 17:28

Oh CakeAndChoc that would infuriate me! I am a strong supporter of the NHS but I really wish they would be far better organised and work together! I hope you aren't waiting around too long for your blood test to be done this time.

Woody096 · 21/04/2016 18:54

Pleased to hear all the good scan news!

Symptom wise, mine are all over the place, thought I turned a corner then spent all day feeling rubbish!

I understand your frustration cakeandchocolate, the NHS can be a bit a rubbish sometimes! I had a note from my mw today, enclosing a missing page from my notes, it said I am high risk of pre-eclampsia, which was news to me!

Scan is on Monday at 9am, hopefully I will be sharing some good news!! x x

FuzzyOwl · 21/04/2016 19:14

I think lots of us have scans on Monday Woody so I hope it is a day of good news.

Is anybody else really spotty?

Fedupithink · 21/04/2016 19:41

I am Fuzzy and I'm not normally prone to them, even as a teen. I've got them on my face, neck, chest, back and tops of my arms. I'm feeling ever so glamorous!

wrungout82 · 21/04/2016 19:45

Just had a weird load of reddish brown discharge so have left a message with local EPU to call me back Confused

FuzzyOwl · 21/04/2016 19:48

Hope the EPU can see you tomorrow wrungout. Pregnancy is a constant worry. Lots of women do bleed though and everything is fine with the baby.

With you on the glamorousness Fedup. I currently look like I have eaten way too much and am spotty, but no real pregnancy signs otherwise.

smellsofelderberries · 21/04/2016 20:19

wrungout I hope you can get a scan tomorrow. That sounds like my haematoma bleeding. It's scary but I'm proof that bleeding really can mean nothing!

Fedupithink · 21/04/2016 20:55

Hope you get a call back soon wrungout

The bad skin, weird hair, bloating, nausea, spontaneous vomiting, tiredness and headaches are just lovely! I don't think my DH has seen me in anything but my pjs for about 3 weeks Blush

mssleepyhead · 21/04/2016 21:00

hope you get a call back soon wrungout. i had a few days of that in this pregnancy too but after a scan at the epu it was all ok. fingers crossed its the same for you.

fuzzywuzzy · 21/04/2016 21:07

Wrungout can you go into your EPU? Hope you're ok.

LittleGreyCatwithapinkcollar · 21/04/2016 21:42

I hope they get back to you soon wrungout.

Bollyroo · 21/04/2016 22:52

That's great news Albus and Little. Phew!

Hi wrungout and Sleepy!

Weird preggo symptom alert... When I wake up, I have the most gross nose full of rock hard boggies. Every morning. Then I blow my nose and have a sneezing fit for a few of minutes! It's disgusting and I don't even have a cold.

Please tell me I'm not a freak!

Woody096 · 21/04/2016 22:52

Wrungout, I hope they get back to you soon! I'm sure it's nothing to worry about xx
Fuzzy, I am so spotty, all along my chin & jawline & it's those really painful cyst ones! I think it's my diet, I cut out diary & wheat before I got pregnant due to PCOS but now I am eating EVERYTHING!! but I really can't face goats milk or wheat free cardboard rubbish at the moment!x

wrungout82 · 21/04/2016 22:58

Ended up calling 111 as EPU is closed until 8am tomorrow. They said as no severe pain or heavy bleeding, call EPU first thing and go to A&E overnight if things go downhill. Still having the browny-red discharge on and off and mild cramping.

FuzzyOwl · 21/04/2016 23:18

Thinking of you wrungout.

Woody I am spotty and itchy. A great combination! I am blaming pregnancy hormones because the amount of chocolate and ice cream I have eaten can't possibly have contributed.

Slumberparty · 22/04/2016 02:26

Fingers crossed for you wrungout that all will be ok x

AlbusPercival · 22/04/2016 05:04

Bollywood, you are not alone I have had that since my bfp. Does seem to be slowing down now though

Fedupithink · 22/04/2016 07:11

How are you doing this morning Wrungout? Hope everything is ok and you managed to have an uneventful night.

wrungout82 · 22/04/2016 08:31

Managed to get some sleep, there was no more spotting/discharge overnight but ince I got up and went to the loo/was standing up there was more of the brown/watery stuff for a bit. I have been booked into the EPU for a scan first thing tomorrow and they said to call back if things get worse. Thank you all for being so supportive!

ElleSarcasmo · 22/04/2016 08:32

Hope everything goes ok at the EPU Wrungout and that they are as lovely to you as mine were Flowers

bobcat85 · 22/04/2016 08:38

You're not alone Bollyroo, my nose is so blocked up and annoying at the moment.

Hope all goes well at the scan wrungout.

At a conference today, was up at 6.30am and probably won't get home till 7pm. Good job it's almost the weekend.

coppergrey · 22/04/2016 08:58

Sending you lots of positive vibes, wrungout. Hope you can get through today without too much worry.

Bolly, my nose is the exact same! Horrible!

I'm having a half day today - going for a pedicure at 2pm and then it's home straight into the weekend. Hooray!

SharedLife · 22/04/2016 09:49

I've been sick at least 4 times a day all week, then today I'm just nauseous, and that's worn off since I had something to eat. I'm terrified!! I feel like I can't win, when I'm being violently sick I worry I'm going to harm the baby and now I'm not I'm so scared it means its all over! 11+3 today.

Fedupithink · 22/04/2016 09:55

It's so hard accepting the fluctuating symptoms Shared I'm 10+5 and actually feel really good today after an awful couple of days so I'm stressing.

I am finishing these final few days and weeks before 12 weeks more stressful than the early days. Does anyone else feel the same?

I just desperately want my scan date so I have a day when I will know either way how things are going.
