thanks mrs g will do!

penguinta - so pleased for you!

LondonJen · 04/06/2014 15:44

How rude Squiz! There is just no need. I can't understand why people come out with these things, what happened to 'if you can't say anything nice..' ??!

Oo Seasides love your plans, that sounds fab. Congrats on 12 weeks!

Mabel I felt things quite early I think 16 weeks, but my placenta is anterior tho on the right side. At 20 week scan she asked if everything I felt was on the left and I realised that was the case. Hadn't occurred to me before that. Am 22 weeks now and have felt movement on the right a couple of times this week but that's all. I can feel tonnes on the left where there's no placenta so I really do think it can make a huge difference.

Moomin I seem to get headaches for a couple of days once a month. I can tell from my symptom diary it's the same time each month so I think it's just hormones but it's very warm and stifley here so if like that with you do up your water just in case.

Nerdy loving that you feel that way! Go on, get on the stats! Grin

I am still suffering with the tiredness so having a restful day. Also been having pain at the bottom and side of my bump the last two evenings esp when I stand up. I think it's round ligament but it's a new pain, not like I've felt before. Joy!

dp has seen a 2nd hand pram he wants to view on the way home from work. I am a bit eeeeeek! about having that now. But really glad he is interested and looking so don't want to put him off.

Well another day and another massive bleed here Sad I just don't think I'm going to get away with this a second time. So back to the private clinic tomorrow to see what on earth is going on. What a shitty rollercoaster this is. Sorry for me me me post but just feeling angry at the world.

Itscurtainsforyou · 04/06/2014 16:59

Sorry cake :(. Hope the scan gives you more positive news.

amicablemoomin · 04/06/2014 17:34

sorry to hear that cake. It's not fair. thinking of you.

Thanks London re headaches, I am upping the water consumption which is probably good thing anyway.

Realised today none of my trousers fit me properly anymore. I wish this was due to baby but sadly it is due to the fact I have done nothing but eat (carbs, and not the wholegrain ones) since April.

fedupofrainydays · 04/06/2014 17:34

cake sorry to hear that. Didn't they say you would get another bleed though from the clot left in there? Hope scan goes ok.

Seasides · 04/06/2014 18:15

What a torment for you cake, I'm sorry. I do hope you get good news again tomorrow Thanks

I've thickened out too moomin, not sure what's mac & cheese and what's baby! I think it's mostly baby, so don't think I'm going to be like my friends who hardly showed until 5 months! No stomach muscles...

amicablemoomin · 04/06/2014 18:40

me neither seasides....glad it isn't just me! (she says reaching for a cake)

EnglishGirlsReturned · 04/06/2014 19:00

Oh Cake, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I hope it is just remnants of the clot. Fingers crossed for you.

TeaRex · 04/06/2014 20:20

cake at my scan last week they said that they could see the area of bleeding and the body can sometimes re-absorb the blood but due to gravity you're MUCH more likely to bleed again. I've got everything crossed for you that's all that's happening.

Got my follow up scan tomorrow absolutely bricking it and can't get it out of my head that it will bad news for me, massive fish slaps pls x

Cakebaker35 · 04/06/2014 21:35

Thank you ladies. Yes I was told to expect a bit more bleeding but that it would be brown and gunky. What I have today is lots of fresh red stuff plus clots - sorry tmi - so I'm very sure now that this is not going to be good. Will find out tomorrow and just wish I could knock myself out somehow to be able to sleep.

tea wishing you lots of luck for tomorrow, this is such a rough ride isn't it xxx

Emki · 04/06/2014 22:28

Thinking of you cake - hoping tomorrow brings positive news x

Penguin13 · 05/06/2014 09:06

Good luck today tea and cake will be keeping everything crossed for you both.

squizita · 05/06/2014 09:58

Cake keeping fx for you. Hope it' the rest of the old bleed not something new.
Tea FX for you too. Gentle slap with a small anchovy as we've all been there and know the fear!

Had an awful nightmare last night: an ex employee of Tesco had been tampering with vitamins and medicines and poisoned them. My own brand pregnacare and DHs hayfever tabs were full of radiation. Shock RANDOM!
Also outs me as an utter tightwad. I'm sorry Piriteze and Pregnacare are bloody overpriced.

Haven't had a UTI pee test for about a month. No stinging when I wee or kidney pain. Should I ask for another test or wait 2 weeks till my next appt? Fish slap. DH says only go to Dr if it hurts to pee or I get pain/knicker gunk.

Good luck for the scans today Tea and Cake! Keeping everything crossed for you!

amicablemoomin · 05/06/2014 10:36

thinking of you both today, tea and cake. Keeping FX for good news.

TeaRex · 05/06/2014 11:44

Thanks guys :) just waiting for my husband to pick me up so we can go, he's late, stress levels are rising.....
I should always tell him we need to be places 15mins earlier than we do, god you'd think he could be on time today though!

TeaRex · 05/06/2014 11:49

Okay, he's not even left work, appt at 12.30, takes 10mins to get here and 40mins at least if traffics okay to get to hospital. He's such a twat.

aMuminwaiting · 05/06/2014 11:57

I nearly throttled my DH the other week too Tea. He had to work the morning because his boss had taken the week off for holiday and got back with seconds to spare so we're running down the road to catch the train so we didn't miss the connecting one, rushing around for the tube and get to our appointment just in time. 10 minutes late and they cancel your appointment. Can't be doing the running bit for much longer! Good luck Tea and Cake…oh now I want some tea and cake!

IhavetowaitHOWlong · 05/06/2014 12:02

Was wondering if I was the only one thinking mmmmm tea and cake reading the latest posts. Glad someone's in the same wavelength aMum!

Good luck today Tea and Cake. Hope you make it in time Tea!

Mmmm BrewCake drools

Seasides · 05/06/2014 13:23

So unnecessarily stressful tea! Hope the scan vies well, and for you cake.

Having not baked for months and months I've been making a weekly cake for a while now! Fruity cakes, gone off chocolate. Though it's been more appealing the last few days, as has wine...was useful when they both seemed repulsive!

TeaRex · 05/06/2014 14:20

Right, was a bit late but still seen. Good news is baby's still there, okay and grown. Bad news is area of bleeding has gotten slightly larger though apparently this can be difficult to measure on an ultrasound. I've not had more bleeding and it would be too early for my body to have started re-absorbing the blood so really I've just got to wait now until my 12week scan, they re-booked it for me at eastsurrey as if something goes wrong they can help me there whereas my local hospital would only refer me to them so seemed best. But basically I'm still a bit in limbo land. I'm just going to have to try and not think about it cough cough.
Lol at tea and cake, I love cake but don't actually drink tea, I feel like a fraud!
cake I hope you get good news x

squizita · 05/06/2014 14:32
