Yes you are pregnant Smile which means you are going to go a little bit mental at times, which is really normal. Pregnancy and mental seem to go hand in hand.

I drove dh mad poas, so I did it in secret, I did stop after the second scan though.

Fairygodmother1 · 18/02/2012 11:35

pmpl!!!! My stomach won't stop rumbling either!!!!

Do you need to tell your consultant that you are preggers?

We had only had the appointment with the fertility nurse when I got pregnant and the appointment with the consultant wasn't until after the 12 week scan. So I waited until the 12 week scan to cancel the appointment. The person who I spoke to said did I want to rearrange and I said "Nah its alright I am up the duff" (or words to that effect).

But I wouldn't cancel the appointment until I got to 12 weeks Grin

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOO!!!

Are you alive my lovey?

Fairygodmother1 · 18/02/2012 19:58

Yeah thats what we said we'd do as app is in June, so plenty of time to give them notice!

Yeah I'm getting worried about Umbungo - hope she aint passed out under a bush...

Morning having a bit of a panic as when I wiped this morning I had brownish discharge (sorry for TMI). No pain or anything but as this is my first & waited so long I'm worried. Read that as long as it doesn't turn red or have pain then it should be ok! Trying not to worry!

If you are worried go to GP. EPU (early pregnancy unit) don't usually scan until 6 weeks though. I had spotting with both pregnancies. With ds I had to go to a and e at about 9 weeks due to quite a bit of blood. Both pregnancies obviously worked out fine.

UmBongo · 19/02/2012 11:06

All I bloody did was have a holiday, check back in this morning and WOW! Fantastic news FAIRYG! Huge CONGRATULATIONS!

Feel free to panic about discharge if you need to (there is no point in telling you not to panic!), I had quite a bit in the first few weeks, a lot of my friends had too. One was still spotting when her bump was big and wriggly!

I wouldn't cancel any appointments out of sheer superstition, I'm with Lou on that one!

If all you needed was for me to have a holiday then why didn't you say I could have had one years ago! Grin

HalleLouja · 19/02/2012 13:46

Well you never need to go on one again until someone wants another baby and then we will help you pack your bags!

Go anywhere nice? How is the bump?

HalleLouja · 19/02/2012 13:48

PS It won't be me wanting another baby.
PPS We should stay on this fred until it runs out then if all is going well we could find a new home. Unless lemony has something she wants to tell us Grin.

UmBongo · 19/02/2012 14:23

We went to Northumberland for a few days, exploring castles! Thought we should squeeze a holiday in before our family of 3 becomes 4. Dh and ds had to drop me back at the pub we were staying in one afternoon cos my need to sleep became overpowering and they went off to do more exploring. I think what we learnt as well as all the walking was that ds's wellies (and possibly shoes too) are getting a bit small as he was whining a bit - mind he did walk about 4 miles in one day plus castle exploring - poor chap!

I'm with you Lou, I told my mum I was quitting production after this one and she seemed surprised! I think that 3 years of heartache and a mc is enough for me. Mind you, she had a mc and a stillborn before she had my big sis, and I am one of 3. She is made of stern stuff!

Bump is doing well, not letting me get much sleep, causing sore hips and good heartburn, wriggling well, up to 31 weeks now, looking forward to seeing the midwife on thurs to see if it has turned yet, as was breech last visit, I have given it a strict talking to on that front, I don't have time for a cs scar to heal with chasing ds, and the no driving for 6 weeks bit may be impossible!

Fairygodmother1 · 19/02/2012 17:28

Yes we can find a new home over on pregnancy & motherhood!

Thanks Um & so glad you are back!!!!!!

Spotting stopped about 12. Totally brown so old blood. My sis said totally normal & she had it with both hers. She said it would either be a one of or happen a few days. She said it happened to her at 4, 8, 9 weeks & towards the end!

Panic over for now!!!!

Well, an update to keep my mind from breaking me apart...got up for a wee & to get ready for work, went to the loo & a ton of brownish-pink discharge, the sort I get at the beginning or end of a period.

Spoken to Midwife team but they won't see me until I see a DR. Then he needs to decide whether I need to go to EPU!

So off to Dr in about 30 mins!

How did it go?

Fairygodmother1 · 20/02/2012 13:37

Hi ya,

Bed rest for a week been prescibed. Have a scan on thursday as I'm actually 5+4!!!! She said as there's no red blood & no pain it's more than likely implantation bleeding!

Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!!!

OP posts:
HalleLouja · 20/02/2012 14:54

Fingers crossed. As I said I had bleeding both times and have 2 lively monkeys. A bit too lively some times.

Weirdly enough since being pregnant with DD and getting my periods back my spotting has stopped. Maybe I have stopped knicker checking so much but think my hormones have gone mental....

Icedlemonmuffin · 20/02/2012 15:24

Bigs hugs for you and your little pickle!

Try to relax from now and until Thursday. What time is your scan? You probably know this but it might be dildo cam, just so you are prepared. I wasn't when I had my early scan and neither was dh!

Fairygodmother1 · 20/02/2012 16:52

LOL! Have been napping & in bed all day! It's at 9am so thats good, first on of the day apparently! yes had dildo cam when looking at pcos so am pretty prepared!!!
Have my fingers crossed & may even become religious!!!

I said a prayer every time I went to the toilet Smile didn't have sex so was an honorary nun for all of my pregnancy.

Forgot to say hi to Umbongo and bump before, can't believe you have only nine weeks left!

We have talked about trying for no 3 but will probably wait until next year, mini muffin has only just started sleeping through,but now has a cold and is teething. She is walking, well running, so is hard work especially as she loves to climb.

Fairygodmother1 · 20/02/2012 18:35

Yes thats how I feel...dh is asking if there's anything there every time I go for a wee!

CareBear1 · 20/02/2012 18:55

OMG Fairy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO happy for you!!!!!

loads of best wishes and hope it all goes ok. x x x

HalleLouja · 20/02/2012 20:42

Keep away from sex. That is when I had my bad bleed and why DH wouldn't shag me when pregnant.

Fairygodmother1 · 20/02/2012 21:04

Yep def staying away from Sex!!!!!!
