PG after MC - posifrickentivity, hand holding, and smelly gush.

[IBelieveInPink]

Thread for ladies who are freaking out panicking slightly when preggy after miscarriage.
Plenty of oldies. Newbies always welcome.

Janie - it's brown, don't worry. You've most likely burst a small blood vessel earlier in the day or yesterday and it's just coming out now.
Sounds patronising, but try to put it out of your mind.
I bet you have a bit more mucky gunk tomorrow once you are up and about and that it, but take it as a sign to rest and avoid stress
(work out ways to get your bullshitting colleague back instead)

I have spent the day trying to sort out last minute finance crap at work. It's our year end at the end of the week so clearly everything is a life or death super issue - so why they hell do I only find out about it all today grrrrr. I start feeling my blood pressure rise and have had to take the dog out several times through the day (she is on heat and desperate for sex so this is more trouble than it is worth). Must relax more!!

Trying something with

🌟

Yay!!

Janie, poor you. I agree a little brown blood sounds ok but definitely ring the midwife this morning. You don't need stress at work either, grr, stupid colleague! Hugs xx

Hey Janie how are things this morning? Remember brown is good. Hoping there is nothing more for you to report x

Shell I'm a Super Hero! Yeah right - I do a boring office job that just involves a lot of talk about some horrible people. I had forgotten it was your scan tomorrow - exciting! Am I right in that you are keeping this ones flavour a surprise?

Sorry can't remember name of our friend who is 'stuck' in hospital - Jess??? - how are you today? Hope the bleeding has stopped and you are allowed out of bed....I'd have drunk pint after pint of water if I was only allowed out for a wee!

Hope you are ok this morning janie hope your spotting has stopped?
Thinking of you x

Janie: phone the midwife today and see what they say. I k ow its hard not to panic as I have every time. Would like to say that I have had brown, pink and on one 2 occasions now red blood and touch wood all is ok. Would you be due a period around now?
Thinking of you Stich and sending love and strength.
Hope jess you are doing ok in hospital.
Hi to everyone else. It's been a few days since I posted. Being a bit of a worry wart. Think it's the scan coming up!

Morning all!

Janie you poor love. How are you? Did you sleep?

I totally just thought it was Friday. That's depressing.

janie massive hugs. Brown is good though - I was just past you when my last bout started. Do you have a phone number for maternity triage? I phoned them and they asked me to go in for a check - I had pain too though so you could always throw that in for good measure

Worth getting checked because I had it every day then until about 25w and that would drive you mad if you didn't know everything was okay.

One of the few times I'll suggest this, but google 'cervical ectropion' - they're really really common, cause no complications, and could be what you have. Mine is worse after over exertion or a big poo

Hope you get some reassurance from somewhere xx

Aw Janie thinking of you and sorry you're having that stress :-( Agree with other ladies that its a good sign that its brown not red so fingers crossed your midwife or mat triage unit will reassure you. How is it this morn? Also, even though your partner's got lots on at work, I'm sure you'd feel better if you shared your concerns with him anyway?

Thanks Gardenworm and LuckySocks, yep it's settled down so been told this morn that I can stand up to
have a shower (yay!) and I can potter slowly down the ward again. No going down to the lobby for Costa coffee yet (boo!) but being allowed to even just wander down the corridor for a 'walk' will feel good today.

Pink I HATE it when that happens, gutted! It's nice when it happens the other way round though.

Thank you all so much, you're all so bloody lovely and thank god I've got you all. Thankfully no more spotting overnight or this morning so fx it was just a little blip and down to some stresses yesterday. I can feel my heart whacking away this morning so in sure my blood pressure is up a bit but I'm going to drink tea all day (decaf obv!) and not give a fuck about about shitty colleagues today in work. If I start feeling stressed I'm just going to ask to go home. If I notice anymore unwanted knicker spots then ill contact the midwife. Had a little dopple this morning and wee bambino seems to be ticking away and gave me a good couple of kicks. I'm picturing him/her tapping on my insides and waving out to let me know they're doing ok

Thank you again for being so nice xxx

How are you janie? On the phone to the MW I hope and feeling reassured

choc do you work with me, it's our year end too but I'm a fee earner so trying to work like mad to get the bills out...was so busy yesterday I forgot to text to see how DS was Went and had my hair done last night tho so that was good

garden damn was convinced you were Wonder Woman Yep, so far anyway might change our minds once in there tho!

lucky hope you're not stressing too much, when's the scan?

pink I wish it was Friday

jess enjoy your shower

Hi ladies, please can I dip a tentative toe into this thread? Currently 4+1 following a MMC at 12 weeks in April, I'm completely terrified but trying not to let the panic set in! Already got a 2 year old DS who is a fantastic distraction when I start worrying - chasing round after him means not a lot of thinking time

Dostoyevsky is so 2nd trimester Santa.

Welcome Rock

Janie, hope there's no more brown blood & you managed some sleep. Also, well done for not giving a shit about colleagues!
If you did Prenatal education, you could have a morse code conversation with baby

Choco, hope today is less shitty for you at work, and you manage to keep your harlot of a dog happy!

Jess, hurrah for a shower, enjoy your pottering.

Hello all!

Welcome Rock!

janie glad there was no more spotting overnight or this morning.

jess enjoy that shower!

Hi Rock - welcome and congratulations on the BFP!

Shell - I work for a big multi national FMCG - in the employee accounting bit - so how we account for salaries and benefits across Europe ( well I do a wee bit of it) so maybe?

Sex obsessed dog is currently wandering around in the field next to our house while I am on iPad in garden (need a break).

Janie - good to hear no more brown this morning, but definitely come home if any more, sounds like you need the weekend already (don't we all)

Hi all, can I tentatively join you all too? Is nice to see some names from the TTC after MC thread and seems like lots of lovely hand holding going on here which is just what I need.

I've been on a similar journey to rock - I met her on the MC boards and then the conception TTC after MC thread - so I think it's only right I stalk her here too and we can finish this journey together

I have a 2 year old DS, have had 1MMC end March and just got a BFP 4+2.

I'm feeling remarkably calm at the moment, but it's like the news hasn't sunk in yet. Although I did see my lovely GP today who has requested a scan asap after 6 weeks, so hopefully I'll be able to get some reassurance in a few weeks.

Hi rock, and guff. Congratulations! Fab you have an understanding gp - mine was having none of that! Really good you will get the reassurance though.

I think we need an updated stats list with all these new faces! Will see if I can find the last one.....

welcome rock & guff and congratulations on your BFPs! Guff I also have a very sympathetic GP who referred me for an early scan that was a lifesaver! rock I hope you're getting one too!

janie glad everything is OK now. You can feel the baby move and you have doppled as well so I'm sure the brown blood is nothing to worry about!

thanks for the stats pink

Congrats Rock and Guff! Nice to see more people graduate from the ttc after mc thread.

I'm now 7+1 and booked a private scan for 9+3 so not that long to wait and it should got quick as we go on holiday on Saturday. Been having mild period pains pretty much since bfp on and off - has any one else experienced that? Been having some nausea too.

stitch been thinking about you and really hope you a doing ok.

hi guff and rockchick :) congrats on your bfps!! i'm sure i recognise your names form the ttc threads. brilliant to see you here.

pink i hate the friday thought when it's not friday. nasty brains messing with us pah! but it's friday tomorrow thank fook!

jess hope you had a nice loooong hot shower and dilly dallied on the way back to bed.

choc i hope your dog got some ;)

pink thanks for the stats! only 11 more sleeps for me til next scan

thankfully no more spotting today, although work did turn yukky again this afternoon with lots of colleagues fighting (not with me) and a generally mega stress atmosphere all round. cue the cramps :( got some little throbby pains ...kind of at the top of my pubic bone, i'm not sure if its cramps or if babydude is karate kicking me in a very sensitive area. so i bit the bullet and called the midwife just to see what they thought... they just told me to keep an eye on things blah blah blah and asked what my blood group was? er i dunno and i also dunno why they asked that?! so basically if i'm still achey tomorrow then i'll call them and ask to be seen.

so i'm in my super comfies with my hair in a pineapple waiting for Dj to bring me dinner (this never happens) and when he goes out i'm having a bath and facemask night. might even watch a ryan gosling movie with my cat to cheer myself up. thanks again for all your messages xx

Oh my gosh janie that sounds like an AMAAAAAAZING evening! I'm planning on going to bed sane time as my kids tonight!

Congrats and welcome guff and rock!

Stitch- hope you're ok xx

Ps blood group might be in case you're rhesus negative? If so you need ant-d if you have a knock or bleed x

Janie as Black holes said above its because of the Rhesus Negative. I am that blood group and carry a medical card during pregnancy. I didn't have the anti D when I had a small amount of brown spotting but when I had a bigger bleed (Red / Pink) I did have the injection.

Welcome to Rock and Guff :)

My next scan is next week. Am worried as not felt the baby move yet!
