Hi ladies

Thought I’d start a new thread as we were close to filling the last one. Shall we do a little check in?

I’m due 7th Jan with 2nd baby.

@mynameisMrG thinking of you - hope you get through to epu soon xx

MrsPandigital · 20/05/2019 20:09

@MynameisMrG 😭oh man. I hope you're okay. My fingers are crossed for you! Lots of people bleed during a healthy pregnancy, so could be nothing.

plipliop · 20/05/2019 20:58

@mynameisMrG I hope you are ok. Have you got someone with you? Xxx

LittleRedSocks · 20/05/2019 21:13

@mynameisMrG you have been so kind to everyone, I hope you are ok and that it’s just the normal pregnancy spotting so many ladies seem to have. Fingers crossed for you xx

Thank you so much ladies for all your support. So after a couple of hours of heavy bleeding all might not be lost. They did a pregnancy test which was very strong, my cervix is closed and the bleeding was not coming from there and my hcg levels are above 1000. So the dr doesn’t think it’s a miscarriage she thinks it is just a random bleed from somewhere. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Got to have a scan tomorrow or Wednesday to see if bran is ok but I left feeling more positive. Trying Not to get my hopes up but not as upset as I was.

Thank you again ladies, I don’t know what I’d do without the support on this thread xxx

Really positive news MrG x

MoominMantra · 21/05/2019 00:16

@mynameisMrG - keeping everything crossed for you here xxxxx as others have said you've been lovely to us all.

MoominMantra · 21/05/2019 00:30

I'm having some domestic issues with my dp. We both already have children from other relationships. His 22 year old son is apparently unhappy about me being pregnant and he keeps threatening to not talk to his dad any more if I have the baby. I can't really understand why a grown up would be behaving this way but I suppose he can't help his feelings. In contrast, my 15 year old dd couldn't be happier about it - I've had to say to her please don't get your hopes up it's such early days. I don't know if she'd be so happy if it was her dad having a baby with his new wife tho (could happen).

Is this sort of thing common with existing children even if they're much older and have their own lives and jobs?

SleepingStandingUp · 21/05/2019 00:53

I'd expect the 15 yo who's gonna cohabit with the screaming new born to be more aggrieved than the adult living somewhere else Tbh.

How old was DS's when his Dad left? I giess it's normal to feel healous that this child will get a childhood he didn't. Is he an active Dad? Did he financially support them? All of that would affect how I viewed DSS's response.
Think all your DP can do is keep reassuring DS that hell always love him, be here for him, and he'll always be a part of his half siblings life. Baby is on the way, that's fact so he has to make his own choice

MoominMantra · 21/05/2019 01:10

His ds was 18 when he split with his mum. I do think that dp has to handle this because any issues son had with him before he met me could also be a factor. I can't make this right, only he can. But he keeps complaining to me about it.

He has, afaik always paid CM and still regularly gives his son money, pays for him to go on holiday etc. He is not a perfect parent. He snaps at people (his kids, me and others around him) when he's upset. Maybe this has made the son worried about the outcome.

@mynameisMrG I dreamt about you last night! Glad you've had good news x

DinoGreen · 21/05/2019 06:32

Fingers crossed for you mynamesMrG. A friend of mine had loads of bleeding with one of her pregnancies but all was well, hopefully it will be the same for you.

Still no major symptoms here, just sore boobs! I have decided Sainsbury’s own red label decaf tea is tolerable ... it feels like such a long time to wait until even the booking in appointment let alone the 12 week scan!

Avocuddles · 21/05/2019 06:38

Hi @mynameisMrG glad things sound positive. I'm in the exact same situation as you after light bleeding on Sunday, i have my early scan at the EPU tomorrow morning so crossing my fingers that all is ok. Will be thinking of you, know how tough this waiting is!

plipliop · 21/05/2019 06:50

7 weeks today.
I can't stay awake past 9:30 but then I wake up at 5. Staving hungry all the time too! I got some sickness band and wore them at work yesterday but they didn't seem to have much of an effect.

I'm running out of ideas of things which I want to eat. Mostly toast. Gone off salad but veg still ok so far.

Can't wait for half term.

Mirana · 21/05/2019 06:58

Woke up to bleeding and back ache :( feeling very defeated. The EPU here wont scan me until 6 weeks so I just have to wait it out at home.

anitagreen · 21/05/2019 07:06

@mynameisMrG I hope you are okay it's a good sign that your cervix is closed x

anitagreen · 21/05/2019 07:06

@Mirana that sucks sorry to hear that x

McHelenz · 21/05/2019 07:07

I'm officially 6 weeks today. Not doing too bad symptom wise, just really tired. Just trying to take it as a positive that I have no symptoms that little bean is being kind!

Sunshine3105 · 21/05/2019 07:08

@mynameisMrG thinking of you...hope everything goes well

I have managed to book appoitment with a gp and all is starting to get real

Did a test today and it moved from 1-2 to 2-3 weeks.....btw i was so dissapointed that these digital test switch off after 2 days.. i was planning to keep one so lucky my first was proper first response test with lines....the clearblue are costing a fortune and you cant even keep them....

Except a bit sore boobs and tirednes not symptoms so far....
