Ugh, size was one of the things they said to me last time (at NGH), baby was 8lb 7.5oz at 39weeks, I could've pushed that out!!!

I just got a call from the mw who said cons was happy to rearrange and I'm booked in for the 15th instead now.

scorpio1 · 08/04/2008 15:56

Good, pleased for you

ruty · 08/04/2008 16:24

Well done VS!
Ds was 9lbs 14 oz and most definitely stuck last time, hence emergency c section, and they say this one is on line to be the same, so i'm kind of wincing at the prospect tbh. I just want to avoid an emergency c section again, particularly in the middle of the night!
Lots of positive vibes for you though and can't wait to hear what happens!

scorpio1 · 08/04/2008 19:41

i have had bleeding again tonight but has stopped now.

lulumama · 08/04/2008 19:42

bleeding? tell me more... ? fresh gushing or a bit when you wipe

if any gushing, you get straight to labour ward now!

scorpio1 · 08/04/2008 19:44

not gushing, but more than when i wipe, bright red with some darker clots in, but clots (about 3) about 5p size. Crampy tummy, but calming down now, no clot for more than an hour, have a pad on but not full iyswim.

scorpio1 · 08/04/2008 19:45

had this a week ago and it all stopped. Have MW at 9.45am tomorrow so will tell her unless more and then i will ring on call one.

VeraSquonkTheBeerGuru · 08/04/2008 19:45

have you spoken to your midwife, scorpio?

lulumama · 08/04/2008 19:45

am not really liking the sound of that

is it mucousy, like a bloody show, or just blood?

have you spoken to the MW?

ruty · 08/04/2008 19:45

good luck scorpio.
[can you be my online doula lulumama? i'll take my laptop into the delivery suite]

ruty · 08/04/2008 19:46

oh sorry scorpio, didn't realise it was a week ago. Hope all is well.

lulumama · 08/04/2008 19:46

oh yes, or a phone! or a webcam

scorpio1 · 08/04/2008 19:46

just blood, have lost all show last week. Has more or less stopped now and cramping has stopped, baby very active. Have not rung her.

lulumama · 08/04/2008 19:48

dunno, crampy tummy, clots and bleeding does not sound great, i would call.. is it something to do with the placental lakes?

VeraSquonkTheBeerGuru · 08/04/2008 19:50

fwiw, scorpio, I would call too.

scorpio1 · 08/04/2008 19:51

i'm not sure lulu, in early pg they said dont be surprised if i do bleed. They arent bothered about them, they are letting me have HB so must be OK iyswim.

I am taking it easy tonight and DH is here so i think i will wait until tomorrow, MW wasnt concerned last week.

VeraSquonkTheBeerGuru · 08/04/2008 19:52

It won't do any harm to ring the MW and tell her about the bleeding (and the clots) she may well tell you to come in tomorrow as planned, but they might want you to go in now.

It's worth making the call at least.

lulumama · 08/04/2008 19:53

okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

well, promise you will call if you have any pains or a gush of blood or anything untoward?

scorpio1 · 08/04/2008 19:55

promise lulu.

have just been to the toilet for wee and had red blood still when wipe....think i may call actually, DH has popped out so will wait until he gets in (10 mins max) and see again then?

lulumama · 08/04/2008 19:56

you must call if you are having fresh red blood now.

or i won;t sleep !

scorpio1 · 08/04/2008 19:57

ok i will in a bit when DH gets here and will update

lulumama · 08/04/2008 19:59

thanks x

scorpio1 · 08/04/2008 20:05

has more or less stopped now don't worry, i will tell MW tomorrow or will ring if it gets red again.
