i'm bleeding girls what should i do?

Heebeejeebee · 01/10/2008 08:53

2beautufl - how much, and for how long?

I can't remember how pregnant you are, but either call your doctor and get an appointment so he can refer you for a scan, or call the hospital and see if they will let you self-refer to the EPU/midwife.

Chances are it is nothing, but you'll only be reassured when you see the scan

SesHasapinkline · 01/10/2008 08:53

Poor you - how worrying.
Is it spotting or heavier?
Is it bright red or brown?
The majority of pregnancies have some bleeding but there is never any harm in contacting GP or local Early Pregnancy Unit or MW. Hope all is ok.

2BGAAB- get to the EPU, or go to A&E... is it brownish? brown is much healthier than red blood... fingers crossed it's nothing, but best to get it checked out.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/10/2008 09:04

2BG, also can't remember how far you are, but bleeding in the first trimester is very very common, something like 40% of healthy pregnancies will have some sort of bleeding at some point.

I had red blood and clots at 7 weeks with this one and so far everything is fine.

Ring your MW/EPU see if they will offer a scan, if not, A&E. Take no prisoners, insist on being seen TODAY either for a scan or to see if they could pick up a HB with a doppler, anything to put your mind at rest.

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 01/10/2008 09:08

as for the baby mobile talk LaTour- i just normally choose one i like!! had a lovely mamas and papas one for the other 2 that matched the bedding... I have seen a lovely one on verbaudet that i may get for this one, but it also depends on what bedding i choose too.

Heebeejeebee · 01/10/2008 09:16

Meant to say - Diege - I've been drinking grapefruit juice (glass in the morning) and that has increased the EWCM, but I'm sure that if you've been using preseed, doesn't that pretty much do the same job?

Ses - hope the packing goes ok!

NJ - you are the retail therapy queen!

2beautifulgalsandabean · 01/10/2008 10:47

it was a litlle bit when i wiped this morning and then some more on pyjamas when i went back to the toilet 10 minutes later.
I am 6+6 weeks. Taking DD1 to docs later so will monitor and talk to doctor. Stopped now, probably nothing but still scary!
Saw midwife yesterday aswell.
Thanks everyone, will keep you updated.

istinkhavingaboyoragirl · 01/10/2008 10:58

hi

back from dropping dd @ nursery and from food shop.
bought pampers new baby nappies they are so tiny!!
and tiny luv car seat mobile
it is freezing here rain has stopped but very bitter and cold wind
dd was up between 2 and 4 am this morning finally went back to bed she is get big back molars and didnt like the wind and rain we have velux windows
have bought her teething powder and capuprofen was having calpol thought this might work better.
i feel bad as dh usually gets up for her going to take it in turns and alternate nights so we both get up.

2bgs - good luck @ drs sure all will be fine

Heebeejeebee · 01/10/2008 11:22

2bgs - that doesn't sound too bad. Good luck at the drs - you should be fine for a scan (I don't think you can see much before 6 weeks), but as NJ says, do press for one, because it will set your mind at rest.

Tink - you must be exhausted...

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 01/10/2008 11:23

2BGAAB- good luck at GP's- as its stopped i'm sure all will be ok for you, i had bleeding a couple of times with both my other 2 pregnancies... not had any yet with this one

I'm very ill this morning, couldn't get DS to nursery because my head was down the loo too much.. so as i dont need to be going out i can't decide wether to take any medicine or not!!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/10/2008 11:32

2BG, I nearly said in my last post that bleeding around 6/7 weeks is so very common it is sniffed at by the medics, but thought if you were passed 6/7 weeks you'd take that as a bad sign! As much as you still need your mind putting at rest it really is just likely to be the baby bedding down for the duration, still bloody frightening though. Take it as easy (as you can!), keep an eye on it obviously, and if you feel like you need reassurance than the GP can offer insist on getting it, it is your right to not have to just 'live with it'.

Have been to town, am drenched, but bills are sorted, somehow doesn't seem worth being soaked through though....

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/10/2008 12:07

OMG, just had the most frightening 15 minutes I can remember ever having:

Load of the stuff I'd ordered from MC was delivered, in my excitment () I rang DH, he was driving (his phone is on bluetooth) we were chatting away and then there was a huge bang and what sounded like he was stood next to train, and then his phone went dead, I rang him back must have been 100 times (I'm not joking!) and it kept just going to answer phone, 15 minutes later it fianlly started ringing, and he says "I can't help it if it loses signal" Well, OK he can't help it, but bloody hell... I'm shaking LOL

His phone often loses signal but it has never done anything like that, it normally just either goes really quiet, or just cuts off.

Sorry had to off load my wussy imagination.

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 01/10/2008 12:19

oh NJ- that's happened with me and DH before- i heard a crash and bang, phone went dead... scared myself to death!!

It's wierd how bad your imagination goes isn't it- always fearing the worst!!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/10/2008 12:24

Yes Glask, like I said it sounded just like a train was passing very close by, had visions of his van being pushed down the track on a level crossing! I am laughing now but it wasn't funny! I didn't know what to do, I had no idea where he was driving, where he had been, where he was going to, nothing.

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 01/10/2008 12:33

well i'm glad you can see the funny side already!!

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 01/10/2008 12:34

on another note- how nice is all your new stuff???

I'd be so exited i'd be sat in the middle of half opened boxes, and bits and pieces all over the living room!!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/10/2008 12:38

It's all good I think, they have sent a different bath/changer thing, but it is the more expensive one so I won't moan! LOL

Only thing is the bath/changer thing is in a big box, the playpen is in a big box, and all of the smaller items are in another big box, I can't move! We bought a bouncy chair from MC at the weekend and that is still hanging around in the hallway, also in a big box!

It's all very exciting though! Even if we are living around boxes (Sound familiar Ses?!! )

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 01/10/2008 12:41

i'm going bouncy chair shopping after my 12wk scan!! when i finally get the date through!!- its driving me mad waiting for it!!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/10/2008 12:52

Must admit I have surprised myself how well I held off from the shopping, I really started caving after the 20 week scan and got most of the clothes, but then didn't want to get the nursery stuff till the boys were in their room, it has been really good just getting down to it and ordering everything at once instead of spreading it out like I did with the boys pregnancies. It is even better now some of it is arriving!

I think getting xmas shopping well underway helped to put me off the baby shops as well.

istinkhavingaboyoragirl · 01/10/2008 13:01

hi

glas - poor u being ill

nat - ye for bits but oh no for dh scare must have been horrible.
