April 2007 - I don't need Father Christmas, I've got my April Angels

[iMustBeMad]

any suggestions? I have a smear of blood this morning when I wiped a bit of blood mixed in with discharge (sorry if tmi). We had just got used to the idea and have even been looking at bigger cars (a bit of a clue).

I haven't miscarried before so I don't know if that is what is happening. Can I call someone? who? can I get it checked? or do I wait? till when?

I am either 8.5 or 12.5 weeks not totally sure but probably the earlier as not too big yet, but things are still getting tight.

Please advise?????????

morning

maveta, IME you need to leave it longer than 10 minutes. If he is doing the stop start crying then you're on the right track. He is tired just trying to get your attention when he starts again. They really do get into the sneaky stage and are testing whether is they call you you will come. As long as you've done all the checks(bottom/food) and you know he's safe then try to leave him a bit longer. If he's doing a constant cry then maybe best to get him up but when ds was doing it the other night it was very stop start. It feels like forever but really it's only a few minutes and as long as they are ok it won't do any harm. And you are not soft or pathetic as I feel the same but my DH helps keep me away from them and after they stop you feel really good for having not gone to them!

DS looks like a complete snot ball this morning, it's delightful and i'm sure step mother will love it I've decided i'll take food for ds and dd today to try and get accross that they don't think about dd when getting food. I mean what 3 year old will eat smoked salmon, salad, rice(not plain the fancy stuff) and things like that. DD is quite fussy and likes things plain. Will also take toys for them too. Feels like i'm moving in when I get there but i'll only be there a few hours. It's ridiculous how much stuff I have to take!

NGT I can't help hope you are ok. Have you got a mw yet? or try calling NHS direct. Have you looked in your pregnancy book that they give you on your booking in appointment?

Hope someone else can help

no not gone to mw yet so don't have any info seeing her on the 10th (if I make it that far )

NGT, A little bit of blood in pregnancy is quite common - especially if its old blood as opposed to new.

You could give NHS direct a call but its unlikely that they will do anything. Have you had any pain? If not this is a good sign.

I dont even think your local EPU will be open until tomorrrow.

I'm sure you'll be ok though.

I thought you'd say that. Try posting a thread on here. So many people have been through the early stage ups and downs and i'm sure someone will be able to help. I'm lucky enough to not have had a miscarriage and no bleeding with either pg so can't help. Do you feel ok? any other symptoms apart from a little blood?

had period pains yesterday

I thought I would just have to wait and see

bled with ds1 at 14 weeks and it was because I needed anti D due to negative blood group

can´t help NGT, sorry.. hope someone can give you some advice soon.

Eddas - no it was pretty constant crying. I don´t think there was any stop/ starting at all.. that´s what confused me.. we went back in a couple of times but couldn´t calm him at all.

Oh and we seem to have acquired a new cat. very cute all black cat about 4 months old I think..followed me home yesterday miaowing the whole way. Someone has obviously abandoned him as he is very friendly, tame, used to have a (too tight) collar on as he has no hair on that part of his neck. Brought him home, gave him some food and water and let him have a sleep and then chucked him out the back window (our first floor flat lets onto a terrace from where our 2 cats can then access a huge overgrown garden that belongs to a semi-abandoned house next door) which I thought was safer than leaving him on the street (as my Dad would have ). This morning he appeared again so we´ve fed him and given him a bed in a kind of external loft we have that I think the owner must have used for pigeons or something? Although it´s very clean now. He´s still miaowing to come in but we cannot have 3 cats! We can´t give enough attention to the 2 we already have. This feels like a compromise to try and take care of him but not actually bring him in the house. Yes, yes, I told you - we´re soft!

Am still hoping we´ll see posters looking for him which would restore my faith in humanity but am not holding out too much. It´s all too common to abandon animals here still very much the norm to leave your animal on the street if you go on holiday and have nowhere to leave them/noone to look after them And the state refuge puts them down if you take them there, and the international refuge doesn´t but won´t accept more cats as they have no more space

NGT, just been trying to figure out who you are, it's driving me mad hope you are able to get some advice from someone. If you are worried and can go why not take a trip to A&E. The worrying will only get worse and it might help give you peace of mind? I think i'd try asking on here first though. Sorry just rambling now

eddas - lets just say I have been looking at triple buggies and would have 3 under 2 that is a sure give away, but when you girls work it out, please don't post my name as I am worried about rl people who may lurk finding out

I wouldn't post a name as that would expose my crap detection skills I think i have narrowed you down

BTW does anyone know if we had a thread deleted when NGT first posted, can't find the one with all the denials on it I'm am thinking WAY too much about it!

a ds1 and would be 3 under 2 eddas that is so easy

maybe for you

if i'm right then it must be a huge shock as IIRC you have more than you planned anyway? hope that doesn't give anything away

Panicking now as don't want to out you to anyone

ngt so sorry to hear you're worried, can you give your epu a call anyway, surely there must be someone there to advise you? Sorry I have no knowledge of this but can appreciate how worried you must be.

found the thread i was on about!
i'm sure i know now who you are.

I really really hope you are ok, must have been a jaw dropper when you got a positive. If I can help at all please let me know

maveta, hope you find your new cat's owner, sounds as though you are soft but I'd be the same
oh and ngt i think i'm getting warmer...hope you don't mind all this speculation but I'm so nosey! It's odd to 'talk' to you as if you're a newbie when I'm sure I'll have spoken to you loads already

Argh T is grumpy because he's tired
So why did he only have a ten minute nap then
WHY? WHY?

SPB if we knew the answer to that we'd all make a fortune!

the tired/sleep thing not who NGT is. Just incase you wondered!

Yeah I guessed that was what you meant!

NGT - try not to worry - I know it's so easy to say that but really the best thing for you and baby is to take it easy. Some blood mixed with discharge (see me brave the TMI) could be anything - had you and your other half been errrmmm 'intimate' recently? Might just be that. I think I know who you are too - may I offer a huge {{{{hug}}}}} to be going on with?

SPB - my baby is covered in small bumps and grazes

Hello to everyone else.

Morning NL
How does everyone else know when I only think I've narrowed it down?

glad i'm not the only one trying to work it out!

pmsl at my dh, went out on the lash last night, dd just woken him up But he's on a diet but ate the all the cheese in the fridge when he got home(and there was LOADS) and half a box of chocolate orange segments. Doens't remember eating a thing

Morning lovelies.

Hope all is well.

NGT, I am sorry to hear about the blood. I had this with K and it freaked me out, but turned out to be nothing. If you can, try and take it easy today, and if you are still bleeding (which hopefully you won't be) see someone on Monday and they can perhaps give you an early scan.

Maveta, how is the addition to your family doing? I remember being overwhelmed at the number of cats on the streets in Majorca.

Eddas, hope your visit goes ok today! Sounds hellish. Can't believe the remark she made about your sisters gift.

We are off to my parents today assuming we have no illnesses crop up between now and 10.30!

See you later lovely ladies. xx
