September 2018 #2: testing and symptom-analysing

[Secondsop]

New thread. Will attempt to post link in old thread!

Muffy yup I will be travelling to st Mary's to have mine (I live inbetween bury and Manchester) defo prefer to travel a lil more than go local!

Fia fx it's just some old implantation blood or something coming out.
Or could be if you've dtd

@Fia256 I had brown all the way through the first half of the pregnancy for my 2nd baby. I think it happens quite a lot.

@Fia256 I've had some brown cm on and off. It's only been a small amount and I've tried to ignore it.

I had brown discharge for 3 weeks with DD. Scary.

I’ve had some brown spotting too. Been mostly ignoring it- had it for weeks with DD and when I miscarriage it went red almost immediately.

Thankyou all for the reassurance. I've had nothing since which makes me feel better. I'm thinking it could possibly be from the scan on Friday and just hadn't come out. I remember last time I had an internal scan I had pink spotting. Feeling calm again now. It's all fun and games isn't it!!

I am struggling with moods these last few days. Lost it at the kids this evening - they were messing around and didn’t stop when I asked them and I really yelled at them and they both cried, and I felt terrible and apologised and cuddled them and told them I loved them and that I was sorry for scaring them, but I feel awful. They weren’t even doing anything wrong, they were just being mischievous but I was just fed up. My older boy (5) then said that he was “trying to control it” (ie his behaviour) and I asked him who had told him about controlling it and he said nobody, but I’m worried that he’s speaking that way. I told him that mummy got cross and upset and he didn’t do anything wrong and it wasn’t his fault and he doesn’t need to control how he is, and that he was growing up as a lovely boy. All is peaceful now but I feel dreadful.

Can I join? Calculating my due date as 30th September. Not much in the way of symptoms so far other than mild cramps, and l boobs tender as hell!

Second I'm the same today! Went to take DD (4) up to bed earlier, to walk into her room looking like we had been burgled. All boxes pulled out from under the bed, clothes / doll clothes here there and everywhere, small toys were everywhere, drawers half open with clothes half hanging out, you get the picture!! I absolutely lost it with her! It's a constant battle with her anyway but tonight I just couldn't cope with it!! She ended up crying and I then felt awful and cuddled her to sleep. I've just felt so exhausted today and it was the last sight I needed at bedtime when I start to wind down!

Oh moods. I can relate.

I’m studying law at university and during an assignment today I almost threw my laptop across the room, cried and snapped at DH afterwards. Poor DH didn’t know what to do do with himself all over referencing.

My scan is tomorrow at 9am. Praying baby has still has a heartbeat and has grown but not looking forward to waking up at 6:30am in order to fill my bladder and get there on time with a broken toe and usual work time traffic.

Oh @MonaTheMoaner fx for tomorrow, let us know how you get on

PS feel free to send wounded DH's in the metaphorical direction of my poor baffled hormone beaten lamb

We should set up a support group for darling OH’s and DC who just so happen to get in the way. My DC have been absolute delights all weekend but I’ve been so stressed out I haven’t fully appreciated them.

Hoping once tomorrow’s uncertainty is over I can control my crap!

I've been a horrible moody grump lately too. Been snapping and getting grumpy a lot. Dd is constantly sticking her hands down my top and fiddling and I've lost it at her a few times now. She's been telling me I'm scaring her which makes me feel awful. I also don't want dh to touch me, it just pisses me off so much if he makes any physical contact I want to shout and scream. I'm not good company.

Hi Backeroo congratulations!!

Good luck today Mona glad the scan is in the am and you won't be waiting long.

Good luck for your scan today Mona!

Good luck mona

Hi all hope everyone is ok. So sorry to read of the the losses that have occurred.

Great news on the good scans

@monathemoaner mine is also at 9am this morning. Hope yours goes well! I'm not bothering with the full bladder because even when I do they can never find them abdominally this early with me.

I've not slept. Combination of anxiety, hunger, nausea, stuffy nose (omg this stuffy nose can do one!) And a bad back. I feel crap! I've taken today off incase we get bad news.

Hope it goes well today Mona xx

They can’t find mine abdominally either Namechangedtoscream. I’m a big fat with a tilted uterus so I’m wondering whether to bother myself. I’m sat here with a pint of squash feeling very sick - a combination of nerves and general nausea.

I hope it goes well for you too. I’ve taken the day off too in case it’s bad news and it feels like the past ten days have gone so slowly. Hoping since it’s an early appointment we won’t be waiting too long for (good) results! Definitely think they’ll put my dates back a little though. Supposed to be 7+4.

Good luck Mona andvNamechanged. With DD they found a heartbeat abdominally at 7+3 but I was thinner then with no c-section shelf! I’m expecting transvaginal to measure my cervix on Wednesday so won’t bother to fill my bladder either.

Nausea awful today. Yesterday wasn’t great despite barely moving. Been awake since 530 sipping cold water. Managed a crumpet before leaving home (needed change from toast). Getting bus to work which is slow but easier on stomach. Haven’t vomited but would probably feel better if I did.

Good luck @Namechangedtoscream and @MonaTheMoaner hope the scans go well.

Paranormalbouquet is your nausea pretty much constant apart from eating but you’re not throwing up?

Mona it’s variable. Some days I feel fine after breakfast and it comes back in the evening. Other days it’s unrelenting. Often I swing between nauseous and ravenous!

I’ve put on 1kg which is annoying and I know probably bloat. I hate existing on carbs, I’m normally a big fan of food and very adventurous.

Had very little nausea with DD but was probably more exhausted with her (had a more physical job with very long hours then though).

Good luck with scans today.

I'm feeling a bit paranoid / worried today. Dreamt about it all going wrong last night and my boobs are a little less sensitive I think. No nausea (but never had that in pg before).
I'm so scared it won't work out....

IntelligentPutty How many weeks are you?

Paranormalbouquet sounds a lot like what I have. It’s frustrating because I’m not being physically sick and I’m sure that’ll make things a bit better but it’s just there with only a thirty minute or so reprieve after eating.
