pussycatmomma · 07/06/2007 18:38

hi everyone................
thank you so much for lovely messages,
all is well
Am so very relieved. The ladies at the early preg unit place were really kind and nice. I had a tummy scan and they could see the baby but not the heartbeat clearly. I was then allowed to go for a wee (had a full bladder for scan as asked) and then they did the vaginal scan and saw everything Tiny little scrap of a thing but with its little beating heart
Cried all the way through, of course, done nothing but cry on and off since last night, the panic, the fear, and now the sheer relief of everything being ok for now.
They are going to do another scan in 2 weeks, just for my own reassurance i think. They said the bleeding was caused by a small haemorage(sp?) lyiing near the sac but it is away from the baby and not related to the baby in any way. They said i might get some more bleeding as it comes away, but also that the remaining blood may get reabsorbed into my body.
This is going to be a truly terrifying 9 months ladies....
But for now, all well and I am just going to chill out this evening.
Thank goodness for this thread!!!!!
thank you for listening to my waffle everyone

Hi pussycat

Just wanted to let you know that I ended up at the EPU with both my children and everything turned out fine, I had exactly the same thing with lauren, they are really nice there arent they. Take it easy and you must promise to come into work and see me soon I start back on 11th july only wendesdays and thursdays though.

pussycatmomma · 07/06/2007 19:30

hi lotta sweetie , yes the ladies were really kind. What stage did you go in with Lauren? Did you have any more bleeding after that first initial time? I am scared of it happening again but at least will have an idea what it is about. I walked past your shop yesterday, saw a blonde lady and thought it might have been you - good job i didnt pop in Is your name claire too? I dont want to come in and ask for laughalot!! xx

Coriander73 · 07/06/2007 20:50

PCM FWIW, I bled on & off for about 4 weeks...but once I had the scan & started getting MS I was more reassured.. Think positive & conserve your energy..don't get hung up on anything else other than looking after yourself

Trace, going in??

laughalot · 07/06/2007 20:53

Hee hee yes I am claire but there are two of us I am the blond one. I went in at 6 weeks with Aidan and Lauren 7 weeks exactly same as you and with both I only had the one off bleed. Just remember to take it easy xxxxxxx

MamaMaiasaura · 07/06/2007 21:01

Fantastic news so glad scan all ok. Think small bleeds are fairly common (implantation??) I had a small one show on my scan but nothing has come out so reckon i re-asbsorbed mine.

Midwife called me again today Am seeing her on Thursday next week. Will be 10+5, what do you reckon my chances are of hearing heartbeat? She said appoitnemtn will last around 40 minutes didnt remember last one taking so long but that was in 1999! (ds was born in 2000)

This thread has been sooo busy. I think it is fab!

plummymummy · 07/06/2007 21:42

Fantastic news pussycatmomma Bet you are so relieved. Have a lovely evening x

gingeme · 07/06/2007 23:03

Oh phew I found you all.
Great news pussycatmomma.
Just a quick question is anyone else getting a kind of ache just above their belly button? Ive never had this before. Maybe its just my old stretched out tummy muscles saying'oh no not again'.
The bobby fairy visited yesterday and they are OUCH! today. Still feeling knackered but the hayfever wasnt too bad today. Well thats about it. Glad all you ladies are doing ok

beller · 08/06/2007 07:34

thats fantastic new Pussycattomomma!! Must be such a relief!
My sister leant me a dvd called "In the womb"...It shows from conception to birth...oh my god...got really excited and was talking to beany as I was watching it when they got to 10 weeks. It was totally amazing,and would really recommend it, will try and find out where my sister got it from.
Hope everyone is well today...Its friday!!!!!
xx

BeckyAu · 08/06/2007 09:54

Pussycatmomma - I am so pleased for you that's great news

How is everyone feeling? Earlier in the week I felt so exhausted with really sore boobs but yesterday and today I feel more fine than I have since I found out I was pregnant (am 8 weeks 4 days). I'm worried that something may be wrong with beanie and that's why I'm fine because beanie's not growing anymore. I may be oanicking with no reason but I'd really like to hear if this has happened to anyone else?

Sorry for the panic - just so glad you're all there for me to ask! Thanks ladies xxx

gingeme · 08/06/2007 10:04

Dont worry Becky I feel better some days and not so good other days. Like yesterday I didnt even feel pregnant except for sore boobs. Toaday I have morning sickness and sore booobs and feel light headed. So pg symptoms come and go. I think it also depends on how much your doing in the day and how much time youve got to think about it.

BWMum · 08/06/2007 10:12

Pussycatmomma - really glad to hear your scan was ok and you got to see your LO. I hope you have a peaceful weekend after all that's happened this week!

Becky - I've had the same thing, this week I've felt fairly good after feeling horrid for the past three weeks. Everything I've read says its normal so trying to take comfort from that and get lots done while I actually have the energy to do it!

pussycatmomma · 08/06/2007 10:48

heeeeeeeeeeey
im sure we all had a pregnancy paranoia chip implanted in us the night we got our bfps- our feelings are all so similar!!!!
i dont really have any symptoms not the classics you read about. No metal mouth, no being sick, cant think of any others.
I just feel really tired, and have been having a little nap early evening/afternoon. My boobs have been the most significant, sore, bigger, nipples bigger and more sensitive...seem to have alot more discharge "down there", and have feelings where i am nauseus but never enough to actually be sick. Gone off sweet things and cups of tea. Apart from fruity ice lollies!!!! im loving those at the moment, especially "lemonade sparkles!"""" anyone remember those?? am addicted to those and Mr men raspberry fruity ice lollies! we buy them for the twins (niece and nephew) but strangley im very drawn to them at the mo!
try not to worrry becky, all will be well xxxxxxxxxxxxx

did you get a scan mrs mc?

OP posts:
beller · 08/06/2007 11:14

Well i have had no m/s at all...just sore boobs,constipation..and feel tired. Think we are all the same,and wont be put to rest really until after 12 weeks scan.then we will find something else to worry about! Did have metal mouth for first few weeks, but that has gone no too...
Glad your feeling better Mrsmcjnr

angelcake99 · 08/06/2007 11:31

Hi ladies... glad that the scan went well pussycatmomma, its must have been a huge relief! Glad that the bleeding has stopped too Mrs MCJ, I had some spotting a couple of weeks ago and was worried, but had an early scan and all looked well, I go back next week for another scan, so hoping the next few days will fly by!

I have also had a craving for ice lollies and very nearly did a Jordan yesterday in Tescos and bought a big bag of ice cubes to munch.. but i resisted the temptation

How you all have a lovely, worry free weekend!

goingfor3 · 08/06/2007 12:12

awen - I don't think the midwife will try to find the heartbeat at 10 weeks. The earliest I ever had mine listened to was 14 weeks and it took ages to find.

MrsMac - Glad the bleeding stopped and you have more peace of mind now.

MrsMcJnr · 08/06/2007 12:18

Goingfor3 - your Dr sounded nice thanks for thinking about me!

Lozza70 ? glad your cramps have subsided. Nice news about your friend I don?t get a nuchal scan on the NHS either but I think I might just have the triple test and not bother with a nuchal scan.

Beller ? 10 weeks wow! how are you doing? I hope your ex is not causing you any stress! I am not defending him in any way but I do think the whole perception is different for men, when we find out we are pregnant, that?s it, we are already Mums because all the changing is happening to us right from the beginning but for them, it?s almost like it?s not real until they can see it. Thanks for asking about me

Hey Bettymamma ? thanks hon EPU were lovely and told me not to worry (hard though!) I?ve put on 3 ½ pounds in the last 3 weeks that?ll be the M&S chocolate flapjacks that I have conned myself into believing I crave!

Teenagersagain ? no stirrups for me at any scan I?ve had so hope it?s the same for you hope it went well. Hope your DP is ok after the op!

Hello Plummy

Hey Barristermum sorry you had a wobble it?s a horrible feeling. Good luck for the scan I?m sure you?ll see all you should for 8+5 I shouldn?t think there will be stirrups! All my scans have been v dignified, even the internal ones. PMSL about your sleep walk!

BWMum for you! Hope the system gets its act together for you.

Welcome and congratulations ledodgy! so glad all is going well. I love your thoughts for the future I want to feel brave enough to think about this baby beyond birth but I am struggling at the mo. I had a MC in March and had virtually imagined that baby grown up and the loss of what could have been was horrific. I am trying though, it is good for me I know

PCM ? sorry I missed your time of need hon It?s natural to worry, but when it gets too much, look around you at all those people milling around everyday, all pregnancies that went well What?s working for me is thinking in terms of dates rather than weeks, by 1 Sept my beanie should be safe (risk passes at 20 weeks for me) doesn?t seem as far away as 12 weeks! So sorry about the bleed, I know how scary it is no matter how you try to rationalise, sending huge hugs. Fabulous news that all went well at your scan great that they were able to tell you what the bleeding was from too. It?s nice to have a reason I didn?t get another scan as I had a scan the morning of the day it happened. Called this morning to see if they?ll do one before my holiday next Sat to put me at ease but they won?t MW was actually a bit short with me this morning she did apologise later as said she thought I was someone else who wasn?t high risk and just wanted reassurance ? I thought that was one of the purposes of the EPU?!

Toomanyshoes ? definitely not blooming here but who said the first 3 months were meant to be attractive?! Hope you had a lovely time in the Big Apple

Awen, hello hon sorry you haven?t been feeling great, I hope you fell better and I am sure you are always a fab Mum Good luck for your booking in next Thurs. Mine is on Weds.

Hey BeckyAu ? that is a nice dilemma but pretty lousy timing for you! I LOVE spas Flying is fine but most of the stuff at the Spa you can do is a bit limited; the sauna, the Jacuzzi, massages, essential oils etc are out as you know. There will probably be a lovely pool though and the relaxing will do you lots of good how about phoning a Spa here and seeing what they would and wouldn?t recommend you do? lovely friends you have! BTW laughed at your comment to PCM about taking her shoulders out of her ears, mine are agony and that is exactly where my shoulders have been all week! God, I need a massage!

PBirdy ? thanks hon I hope you are feeling much better now after being ill and it is a relief when work know

Trace2 how are you? Can?t be long now ? so exciting! All the very, very best hon I?ll be eager to know your news!

Gingme ? hello

Angelcake99 ? hope your scan goes well next week I?m hearing you on the ice lollies!
