I'm trying to keep the peace VQ, it's getting a little bit fraught on here. If you think I was trying to slap your wrist then you have inferred something which I have not said or implied. I apologise for making you think I intended any criticism.

Eight quid fruit?

ValiumQueen · 06/06/2014 14:42

Thank you Stunt.

PetiteRaleuse · 06/06/2014 14:42

fruit you'd die laughing here. I think caca is used about 47 zillion times a day. :o

It was one of LO's first words Hmm

She even says "au revoir le caca" and waves after every shitty nappy change (a psychological trick I'm testing to stop her from witholding the poo - theory being that she was withholding due to feeling it was part of her. Seems to be helping. Either that or the dynamite laxatives she's on.)

fruitpastilles · 06/06/2014 14:52

Grin Love it pr (not the holding the poo in bit)

Yep vq I loved it when I had maternity exemption card, we had a lovely locum GP who last September prescribed me enough hayfever tablets to last this summer. I was very grateful.

Zamboni · 06/06/2014 14:56

Wanda, glad you have drugs and am not at all jealous of freebees!

Fruit the fakeaway book sounds good.

Yep VQ although prescriptions for DC are free. But DH and me pay. It's almost worth considering DC3 for the maternity exemption certificate Grin

PP we are always here but perhaps as BPLP says a little break would be good for you, although I say this to be interpreted as a suggestion that you choose a break for you because you feel it is right for you rather than a suggestion that a break be imposed on you. This is a safe and supportive place and I know things are tough for you right now. Support in a group like this is a two way process. This has felt a bit different to a mutually respectful clashing of opinions on parenting styles - which as a general rule this quiche does really well and I know when it is done I learn a lot and learn to see things from different perspectives.

I haven't contributed thus far to the comments because I had a personal reaction to some of what you've said. I think that tolerance and acceptance of difference is a big part of this quiche. I think we all have the capacity to offend and be offended, but I believe the spirit in which things are said here is supportive concern so that it is generally unlikely that causing offence is really intended. For whatever reason (and I give you the benefit of the doubt in terms of intention), your recent posts haven't been received in that light. Please don't flounce but perhaps just think about the effect of what you say.

I'm bleeding Sad

Zamboni · 06/06/2014 16:16

Oh perse. I have no advice and am sure someone who knows what to suggest will be along soon but in the meantime I can hold your hand a bit?

persepolis123 · 06/06/2014 16:19

I’m at work but I feel like I just want to scream. History is repeating itself.

ValiumQueen · 06/06/2014 16:20

Holds hands with Perse. I bled with all three of mine. I hope it is nothing serious. Can you go home?

persepolis123 · 06/06/2014 16:38

I've called the midwife but she was with someone so waiting for a call back. Been to the toilet and there's more blood. I feel awful. I don't think it will be good.

itsnotyouitsMeals · 06/06/2014 16:42

Hugs perse I bled with DD1. FC it's ok. X

itsnotyouitsMeals · 06/06/2014 16:43

I meant that to illustrate it might not be the worst.

PetiteRaleuse · 06/06/2014 16:50

perse holding your hand. Fx it's nothing to worry about. I'm sorry you must be scared.

persepolis123 · 06/06/2014 16:50

I’ve got to go for a scan Monday afternoon. If bleeding increases over the weekend or I pass clots I have been told to go to a&e. So it’s a waiting game now. Gonna have to tell my mum when she brings C home because I won’t be able to hide that something’s wrong.

Elizadoesdolittle · 06/06/2014 17:06

perse I'm so sorry. I expect it will be a long weekend. I hope that the scan goes well. I will be thinking of you.

GTbaby · 06/06/2014 17:09

((Perse))

fruitpastilles · 06/06/2014 17:20

Big hugs perse I've got everything crossed xxx

izzybizzybuzzybees · 06/06/2014 17:28

Oh perse I do hope everything is OK. It's a horrible waiting game. I bled with both of my pregnancies and both times it was fine. With my daughter I had numerous small bleeds and was scanned each time, all OK. With J as most of you know I was actually told I'd miscarried and I hadn't but didn't find out until the following week. What I'm trying, badly, to say is don't lose hope. I had and he's currently sitting in front of me playing with shells! Hearing positive stories helped me and I hope it gives you something to cling onto as well.

As for the drama, I wholeheartedly agree with vq and pr. I think things have been misconstrued and taken in completely not the manner they were intended.

Pikz · 06/06/2014 17:37

Big hugs perse. I too bled and had a 6 week scan with L. Big hugs xx

Wandathewindfairy · 06/06/2014 18:32

Big hugs perse fwiw I bled with three out of four of mine. Once it started on a plane on the way back from Switzerland. Horrible. I hope so much is ok. Xx

persepolis123 · 06/06/2014 19:01

Thanks everyone. It's reassuring that others have been through the same and it's turned out ok. Don't want to raise my hopes too much though in case it's not good news.

I'm getting lots of lower back pain, my stomach aches and I don't feel well at all. I can't explain it. I'm still bleeding. Not huge amounts because it's only when I wipe but it's fresh red blood. Sorry if tmi.

Didn't tell my mum. I couldn't find the words so relieved I can talk on here.

PetiteRaleuse · 06/06/2014 19:10

Don't spend your weekend worrying perse if tomorrow morning you are still cramping go to a&e and ask to be seen by the gyn unit. How many weeks are you exactly?

persepolis123 · 06/06/2014 19:20

Only 5+3 so not sure if it would even show on a scan. Does anyone know? I'm guessing they might see a sac and not much else. Luckily I have C to keep me occupied until DP is home then hopefully tomorrow it will be clearer what's going on.

BigPigLittlePig · 06/06/2014 19:27

Oh Perse, nothing else to say - I will cross everything for you though. Is it 6w you can see a heartbeat? Can't quite remember.

Both girls in bed by 6.45, thank goodness Smile

I am tiiiiiired.
