Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Thread 8

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

Here comes the thread, you know what to do!

Cross post! @HeyJupiter!

Enjoy your hol! Sounds brilliant!

Got 9 hours sleep (a relief given my recent insomnia). Just been to the loo, the bleeding is darker (brown/pink) and I passed some tissue the size of a pea. Not a clot. Not sure what to do or think.

Oh Grumpy so not good when you're away from home... can you get an earlier flight back today or have you still got work engagements?

Have the loveliest of weeks Jupiter! Sounds perfect

Once again, trying to drag myself up for work on a Saturday! DH got up at 2.30am to go fishing in North Wales for the day... crazy behaviour!

Oh grumpy. That must be so scary, especially when you're by yourself. Maybe you could phone your travel insurance company? (Although I guess maybe not if you're covered by your work's insurance?) Or do you have a phone number for your midwife in the U.K.? They may be able to offer some reassurance. Really hope it stops for you.

Oh grumpy, I'm sorry you must be very worried! Can you call your Doctor or EPU from Spain and arrange an appointment for Monday morning?

Enjoy your week away jupiter and your cottage by the sea jb.

Hb I feel sorry for your fanny! Waxing is painful at the best of times. I wasn't sure if you can still get waxed while pg! Definitely need to get mine sorted

Sorry for the rubbish sleep Wilde, don't work too hard and try to squeeze in a nap at lunch!

Hb your dh sounds mad.

My Fitbit says I got less than 5 hours, and I have a splitting headache. Really wish sleep were easier!! Sorry it seems to be affecting so many of us!

Jupiter have a wonderful holiday! We will miss you!

grumpy is there a hospital close by that you could get scanned at?

jupiter have a fab holiday!

Hope you get a snooze later wilde

Called a local hospital (5 min walk) and they told me to come to emergency. DH has sent me a photo of my EHIC (European health insurance card) which they said would suffice. Yes I also have private insurance. I'm on my way now but don't even have a sanitary towel, hope it doesn't get heavier.

Ok, thinking of you grumpy.

Oh grumpy hope you're okay ❤️ thinking of you and hope everything is alright. Let us know how you get on.

jupiter hope you have an amazing holiday and well deserved rest! I'm off this afternoon and not sure what signal/wifi will be like!

hb and wilde hope works goes quickly for you!

I'm glad they are able to see you grumpy. Such a scary situation for you. Desperately hope everything is ok. ❤️

Oh grumpy I hope it's nothing and the scan can give some reassurance

jupiter have a lovely time in Devon. OHs parents live in north Devon.

I'm home, pyjamas on and breakfast down my neck. Wasn't too bad in the end, apart from some IT issues! Had a break at 6.15am 😴

Well I'm now in the Spanish equivalent of EPU. I think there are 3 people in front of me. Feeling slightly crampy but hope it's my imagination.

Lots of hand holding from here. X

Thank you all

Grumpy hope you're ok lovely I'll keep checking in you're in my thoughts. Hopefully it's nothing x

Oh Grumpy!! I really hope its nothing with your scan or just some old blood irritating as its coming out or some sort of completely normal explanation! ❤

I'm sorry people arn't getting any sleep!

I've got really restless painful legs atm and i've tried the pillow trick and everything but they just ache!

Jupiter so jealous you are going to Devon I hope you have a lovely time!... I can't remember if I said congrats on the scan picture it lools so cute!

Glad the nightshift wasn't too bad Mummy

I had many dashes to EPU last time, often with huge jelly like clots. Very often, as last time with me, it was all ok.

I hope so. It wasn't a clot though, it was flesh like (seen in the loo not in my pants). Sorry for the gross description. That's what's worrying me the most.

Only been waiting 20 mins but it feels like forever already

Being seen now, just waiting for scan person to be free. They told me that old coagulated blood can look like pieces of meat (nice). And they see it often. But they are gonna check me out anyway.

Definitely must feel like forever grumpy. Try to remember to breathe, hopefully it will help you stay as calm as possible. ❤️

Yes. Just keep breathing. You're doing very well, being there and taking charge so far from home.

Great they are seeing you so soon.

Big hug!

Baby died at 8 weeks. I should have been 10 weeks tomorrow. No heartbeat and measuring 8 weeks. I'm so confused and feel like a twat for buying maternity clothes etc

Oh grumpy I'm so devastated for you. I can't believe it. You must be in absolute shock. Sending so much love ❤️❤️
