I need some hand holding please...

[LST]

I have had some brownish discharge when I wipe this morning (tmi sorry). I was 7 weeks yesterday. I have a horrible sinking feeling that this is it

[Newtobecomingamum]

All these people saying that she shouldn't go to A&E how do you know for certain that there isnt anything more serious wrong when she hadn't been checked out! Ectopic pregnancy had not been ruled out, just cause some people have bled more or less, experienced more pain or less pain etc does not mean that this might be normal for OP. I'm sorry but there are so many bloody people that abuse A&E, If you can't go there when your bleeding during pregnancy, worried out your flipping mind and can't see a MW etc until another few days, I would class it as an emergency especially as no one can no for certain what it is!! At the end of the day it is up to OP of what she wants to do, but advising not up go just because you dont deem it as an emergency etc I think is totally wrong! At the end of the day it is better to be safe than sorry!!

[notanaxemurderer]

Newto she is not experiencing bleeding or pain. If she did she should go straight to A&E. Saying that other people abuse the system so you should too is terrible advice!

[Newtobecomingamum]

Yes she does say that she has experienced bleeding.., page 1 "I'm still bleeding" etc and refers to have having cramps etc so please make sure you have read posts. Would never advise people to abuse the system! I think bleeding, cramps, being worried out my mind and not being able to get checked out until Thursday and if i really thought I was loosing my baby is an emergency!! Each to their own though.

[notanaxemurderer]

She said she is imagining cramps, or did I miss something?

[notanaxemurderer]

She also said she is not bleeding badly and it's more of a discharge.

(sorry OP - I am leaving this thread now. I do wish you the best of luck x)

[Newtobecomingamum]

Yes page 3 and 5 also, read posts about bleeding! I'm not going to comment anymore. At the end of the day, as I said I personally would want to get checked out sooner and if you can't at doctors then I would go to A&E. Either way, hope you're ok OP x x

[spatchcock]

I can't see the posts about bleeding or cramping either? But either way, I hope you get positive answers on Thursday, LST. I know full well how scary this is, you really do feel in limbo.

All the best from me.

Hi LST how are you today? I've been following your thread. I have a scan Fri, similar situation. Difficult waiting isnt it? I hope things havent got any worse for you.

[LST]

Hi all.

I'm sorry for causing arguments. I didn't go to a&e. I went to bed early and had one of the worst nights sleep in a long while.

Thank you all for advice again. I don't think I would have been able to get through the past few days without you all xx

[LST]

rainbows, if I'm honest I'm still in bed. I don't want to know how I am this morning. I just hope it's all stopped.

How are you? x

[flopsybunny45]

Good luck everyone in this situation... I am new to the thread, so sorry if I'm repeating things. I had some bleeding at exactly 7 weeks and went through exactly the same emotions...I must of bled for a few hours, at first bright red and then more of a browny colour. I was booked in for an early scan the following week. I was lucky...we had a heartbeat and I am now in the third tri.

I don't know if this is a 'helpful' thing to write because it obviously does not offer reassurance for your individual situation, but the hospital said it is really common to have bleeding at around 7 weeks - implantation bleeding. This really shocked me because I'd been ravaging the internet for information/hoping it was this, but every source seemed to suggest IB happened much earlier after conception.

SO really this is my reason for writing, as I could not seem to find any reassurance at the time that it could be 'standard'. Best of luck... if you have to go for an early scan and your little bean is okay, you get the extra photo op (a blob admittedly!) and if the scan is not positive, :-(, philosophical thoughts if at all possible - I guess your body is saying it was not going to be a healthy, happy little baby.

Thank you flopsy. It's reassuring to hear positive stories.

I am still 'bleeding' but it's not a dark brown any more it is a lighter colour but it does seem a little more wet (I am so so sorry for the tmi). I don't know of that is better or worse. No pain or anything yet. Though I have woke up with a great arthritis flare which just adds to the fun week I am having.

[monikar]

LST I have been thinking of you and hoping you are ok.

Sorry to hear your arthritis has flared up - it's one thing after another, poor you.

Hope you can get some answers today/tomorrow and get some peace of mind.

[LST]

Thank you monikar.

I must admit this week is really going to take some beating.

I have another relaxing day planned today. yesterday flew by so hopefully tomorrow will come sooner than I thought.

xx

[monikar]

You're welcome.

Just today to get through and then tomorrow you will be able to have your scan and get some peace of mind. I think that with something you are very worried about, the waiting can be the worst bit.

Do you have an appointment for your scan or are they going to fit you in when you phone tomorrow?

[cbatbh]

OP, I had this with my pregnancy. Worked myself up into a right stressed state checking all the time, convinced it was all going wrong. It lasted from about 7 weeks to about 12 weeks. I asked mum and sis if they'd had it, they said they'd had it too. Midwife said nothing to worry about unless it becomes a lot, pink or red, painful e.t.c.

It took me a long time to try and relax, I knew stress wouldn't be helping matters. DS is fine now and running around.

You are doing good trying to keep your mind busy

[RainbowConnections]

Terrible about the arthritis flare up. Poor you.

I really hope you have some positive news tomorrow. It'll be a long day but good that you can take it easy.

Is your DP around to look after your DS?

I have a 3yo DS and Cbeebies has been my saviour over the past while! Mainly "I Can Cook" and "Show me, show me". Must try Mr Bloom.

[ceara]

Thinking of you too and really hoping you have good news tomorrow. You are doing so well, the waiting is so hard to bear. I hope today goes as quickly as it can for you.

[LST]

monikar I do have an appointment. It's 10:45 at the epu. Either way tomorrow at least I will know.

My dp is in for a bit today. But he has an interview at 11ish. Its a better paid job that he started looking for when we found out about the bean

Ds is a good boy anyway. I'll get him to sleep once dp has left and we can lounge on the sofa.

I feel ok one minute and the next I feel terrible. My arthritis has risen it's horrid head as I aren't on any medication becasue of the pregnancy. Oh I wish it would all be ok!

[Badvoc]

I will be joining of you tomorrow op x

[Badvoc]

Joining?!
Thinking.

[spatchcock]

Oh crap, arthritis too? Does that flare up because of stress (sorry I know nothing about arthritis).

Here's hoping the hours fly by for you OP. Thinking of you.

[something2say]

Hello, I am sending good thoughts your way too x love from, surrey xxx

[LST]

It's turned a bit pinky again

At least by this time tomorrow I will know.

My arthritis hasn't ever really been properly controlled. I was diagnosed at 16 and have been on a million different types of drugs. We always wanted 2 children. And when we do I could start a very strong drug that I have up to yet refused due to fertility being affected etc. I honestly don't know how I can go on living with constant flares if this pregnancy goes wrong. I am only just turning 23. This isn't how I wanted my life to pan out

[LST]

Thank you all xx
