Sorry for posting the list twice. It feels great and real to see my name there.
Lockets, I am so sorry for your loss.It is always hard to hear these news, I have been there too. A big hug.
My son and I have been with this huge cold for over a week now and I must say it difficult to look after your bump drinking the 2 litres of water and eating properly while nursing a sicky toddler.
I hope it goes away this week.
All the best.

Hi all sorry to hear so many are still so sick, hope you improve soon.

I still haven't been to the docter yet. It may sound silly but do I need to go to the doc first or can I go straight to the midwife? Silly q from a second timer isn't it!

I'm not going to put my name on the list as I feel its tempting fate untill the scan (I had a m/mc before DS) Thinking about it I'm not sure of my dates now anyway. My last AF was 24/12 which would make my dd 29/9 but that AF was very light and only lasted for less than 2 days. If that wasn't a proper AF I am due 1/9 which makes me 12 weeks today.

I am so sorry for your loss Lockets, you are in my thoughts

Hi Purpleflower, you really need to make an appoint with your doc asap. He will then refer you to midwife. (thats what I did, not sure if there is another way). Anyway, you need to have for your dating scan soon as I have heard that its not accurate after 15 weeks or so. What a lovely thought that you could be 12 weeks not 8 .

Quick question for anyone who's around. I had a teensy weensy bit of brown blood this afternoon, with absolutely no pain, and no further blood so far (this was a couple of hours ago). Should I phone doc/hospital in the morning or just ignore it? Know it's probably absolutely nothing, but have not had a single drop of blood (no implantation bleeding or anything), so wondering what to do... Sorry if that makes me sound super paranoid!

Hi hopefully,
In my experience you should not worry because you have had no period like cramps or lots of thick brown blood. Some women have that sort of light brown at the time of the month when normaly the period would come.Trust me,you just know when you have had a mc
That was what I was told by midwives, doctors and emergency doctors at the hospital.
If it happened to me I would call my midwife on her mobile, that would make you feel better. That is why they are there for. I am sure she has had lots of women asking the same question.

Hopefully, I had the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Just little brown spots on and off for a couple of days. I called my gp who said that as long as it was brown blood and not much it wasn't something to really worry about. If it's brown it means it's not fresh blood. Of course I'm now paranoid that i've had a missed misscarriage and there'll be nothing there at my scan tomorrow, but that's likely just nweves. Anyways, if there isn't more blood or only a little more and still brown, and no pain, then you probably don't need to worry.

Sassafrass, that is exactly why I think. you will be OK tomorrow. I have seen you have 3 yr old d. Would you take her with you? I have a 3 yr old son and I have not told him yet. I have nobody else to look after him, so my dh would stay with him outside while they do the scan.
All the best

lockets so sorry to hear your news.

Potxola, thanks for the words of reassurance. I won't be taking my daughter with me as the clinic doesn't allow children. I'm lucky enough to have pil nearby to take care of her so my dh can come in with me. Tbh, I don't think she would get it, if we brought her along as the picture doesn't really look like a baby and she might not be happy with the dark room either. My husband bless him, told her about the baby though almost as soon as we found out that I was pregnant and she's very keen.

hopefully and all others who've had brown spotting, if it doesn't progress to red blood or painful cramps then you most likely have nothing to worry about. If it continues for more than 3 or 4 days then you could go for a reassurance scan.
My spotting literally stopped yesterday. Went on for just under 4 weeks...but after the scan I stopped worrying about it (as ordered by the EPU).

Think I'll leave it for now, and if there's any more at all tomorrow I'll call the midwife for some reassurance. She'll probably laugh at me, but can't hurt!

lockets - so sorry to hear your news.

splishsplosh- lol at your story about your dd playing the sleeping game. Ds plays that game too, its hilarious but sometimes I also wish he's let me lie there a bit longer before yelling AWAKE in my ears!

Lockets- sorry to hear your news, I hope you get some better news as soon as possible (when you are ready for it obviously).

We've had the in laws down for the weekend which has been good as all we've heard all weekend is "Granny do it" so me and dh haven't had to (or been allowed to) do very much. We went into London and to Greenwich yesterday for the day, it was really good but a bit knackering. Mind you I wasn't as tired as I thought I should have been which of course put those silly "where have all my symptoms gone, does it mean anything?" thoughts into my head. When really I should just be grateful that I'm not spewing. The mmc stories are a bit scary though.

lockets - im so sorry to hear . Do hope all the best for you for the future ttc and pregnancy

well all weekend been feeling drained as ive had no symptoms for ages apart from being tired adn have been forcing myself to stay awake till 10pm...im usually in bed by 8pm!! zzzzzzzzzzzz

well im off out today to get new glasses so will report back later and still waiting for the scan date !! been waiting for 2 weeks so ill give it till wed and chase it up

Hope everyone else have a nice day today

Hmmmm.... Am not sure how i feel this morning. Had no symptoms at all yesterday. Also had shooting pains Last night and this morning. On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is a pin prick and 10 is an arrow through the chest, they were only about a 2.5, but still a bit alarming. Think I'm going to call the midwife and see if there's any chance of bumping my 12 week scan to an earlier date.

Hopefully - sorry your so worried, I have been getting pains as well which is worrying. But I think you should ring your midwife when is your actual scan booked for? How far along are you now?

Hopefully,
You are doing the right thing, I was concerned last friday about lack of symptoms, called the midwife and now I have an early scan this wednesday.
All the best. You are not alone.

I don't have a scan date yet - only have my booking in appointment on friday. Have tried bleeping the midwife but she's obviously not on shift. Do you think I should call the hospital and see if I can speak to another midwife or arrange the scan directly?

Oh, and am 11 weks today...

lockets, so sorry to hear your news.

I'm going for a scan at lunchtime as I had some bleeding over the weekend, it was brown coloured blood but I've got a really strange sensation and can't help thinking that something is going really wrong.

Good luck to all

hopefully, I can only tell you what I would do in your situation, what I have done.
Is your midwife part of a team of midwives?. If that is the case, phone the office, and tell them about the pains,it is probably nothing, but are you prepare to wait till friday? They have to offer you an early appointment scan.
if you look in your hospital website it says something like : they offer early pregnancy scans to women before the 12 months of pregnancy who have suffered some pains or have had any bleading, that is us.
So please, phone them if you are at all worried,or go to hospital. We all do it.
I am 10 weeks and 2 days today.
With my son, I had the routine dating scan when I was 11 weeks and 2 days. So it is not too early.

Lockets- I am so sorry to hear of your sad news, the same thing happened to me I went for 12 week scan with no pains or worries and was told the baby had died at 10.5 weeks. I too had a dnc which is not a nice experience. Keep strong and take time to heal. It took me a while to feel ready to try again but you do get stronger and everntually feel ready. All my thoughts are with you.

A word of reassurance to all of you who have had pains, please do not think it is all over. I know women who despite bleeding and pains went on to have a great rest of the pregnancy and healthy babies.
The early scans are there to reassure us, not just to tell us that we have had a mc.
Keep positive and have a scan. You have the right to ask for it.
