Staying posifrickentive- Thread 17 for ladies pg after mc

[SayItIsntSo1]

I couldn't see a new thread.

Hope you all find this one ok!

Oh no bean. I hope all is ok.

Oh no, bean. Am thinking of you. I had bleeding and cramping last week and all was fine. Hope it's the same for you.

Oh no @beanhunter thinking of you!

Place making on the new thread...I lost the old one somewhere!

Bean thinking of you, really hope GP gets back to you quickly.

17+4 here, started having little taps and prods about 15 weeks every evening sitting on the sofa but sensations have now changed, less often and feel deeper somehow. It's really worrying me but just trying to tell my self he's move position somehow, bump seems to be growing. 20 week scan 14/07 so hanging on till then.

Epau at 3pm tomorrow.

Hello new thread! I thought the other one had gone quiet, didn't realise it was full lol.

15+5 here today, started feeling gentle prodding/movements last week. Can't wait for them to start getting stronger.
HG is still here and a pain in the ass but meds are still working and keeping it at bay. Hoping I will be able to come off them sometime in the near future but we will see how that goes.

Bean I'm so sorry about bleeding, glad you're being seen tomorrow x

Will be thinking of you, bean.

Thinking of you Bean.

Good luck today pattern

Sorry bean. Incredibly stressful. I hope it is nothing and stops quickly for you.

Oh no Bean how scary for you. I really hope you get good news tomorrow.

So the doctors were fully unhelpful today. I rang early ish in case they wanted me to go in for an appointment. The receptionist couldn't work out what I wanted (how hard is it to understand the words "I'm nearly 9 weeks pregnant and have had some bleeding"?!) so got the doctor to phone me back. She just said that because it was once and it didn't come with pain that she won't refer me to the EPU. Slightly annoyed with her since when I went last time with the spotting she said she would if I had any more spotting or it turned into bleeding.

So basically I'm no further on than I was. The doctor won't refer me and the EPU won't see me without a referral. I have no number for my midwife so I guess it's a case of wait until I have my 12 week scan in July!

Just had some red blood when I wiped. This is exactly the point in the first pregnancy when I had my first bleed. Will phone EPU in the morning.

Oh no Brenna. Really hope it stops for you and turns out to be nothing bad. How stressful, it's not fair at all. I feel like we all deserve perfect bleeding free pregnancies!! Hugs.

Oh dear all. Bad days all round.

More blood now. Don't think this will end well.

Oh Brenna, I'm so so sorry. Will be thinking of you, and you Bean. What a horrible day.

Pattern I'm sorry - that's awful. Do you think they might change their minds if you called back?

Sorry pattern just saw your update that is terrible!

That's terrible pattern, even with just some cramping I ended up with a scan at the EPU, no blood at all but I was worried. I hope the symptoms alleviate and it was just a worry for nothing
Brennaand Bean fingers crossed for you both, it's horrible when there's blood and especially when it gets worse. I've been there and it's gutting, fingers crossed for you both, you'll be in my prayers.
I've flown to France today, up very early and did the travelling on my own with a 2 yo so very tired now. Worried the stress will affect the baby, but all seems ok at the moment.

How frustrating Pattern. Could you try another gp?

Brenna thinking of you & giving you a handhold. Hopefully you can get an appt at EPU asap

@beanhunter and @Brenna24 I hope you get some reassurance soon.

@NoParticularPattern, I echo what others have said- a very unhelpful response. Please push them again if you're not happy.

I have my 28wk midwife appointment on Weds (will only be 27+2). Hoping we can do everything we need to do without me having to book in again next week. I hadn't realised she'd got my dates wrong when we scheduled as this is my first proper appointment since 16wks. I am going to raise a request for an ELCS with her ahead of my next consultant appointment. Hoping they aren't dismissive as I really think it's the best decision for me.

I'm hoping everyone else's week gets better.

I think Olivers asked who is due next at the end of the last thread. I seem to remember Knorrig shouldn't be too far off but can't think who else was getting close?

I'm not hugely confident that the receptionist even knew what I was talking about. I could do without having to explain in words of one syllable what bleeding at 8/9 weeks pregnant might mean. I should know better with them though since I had to repeat myself THREE TIMES when I called last time to tell them I didn't need my booking appointment on account of the fact that I'd had a miscarriage confirmed by the EPU. They just don't seem capable of getting it into their heads what I'm trying to tell them. I guess they've never been where we have, but you'd think that at some point they'd have had some training that said "look, if a woman rings up and says the words BLEEDING and PREGNANT, then for gods sake take them seriously and pay attention. Actually for that matter it needn't even be a bloody woman! JUST LISTEN!" Argh!

I'm more annoyed with the GP I spoke to though since she explicitly said to me 4 weeks ago that if I had any bleeding at all that she would sort an EPU referral. Then to just dismiss it like it's nothing (without even seeing me in the flesh!) has made me feel a little bit worthless. I really could do with a reassurance scan right now, but apparently no one seems keen to offer me one so I guess I just sit tight. I'm not keen on badgering them again as I'm not convinced it does any good. They'll probably force me to sit in that godforsaken place until whichever GP is free decides to see me and I just haven't got time this week. If they'd sort me a referral at a specific time I'd be happy, but I really don't have whole days to waste sat in a GP's surgery waiting to decide if someone thinks I'm bloody worthy.

Sorry that was long. I'm just quite annoyed and feeling a little bit like it doesn't really matter. I know there's nothing they can do to stop a miscarriage, but I'd rather know a fortnight before we get married than only a few days.

Hope Bean and Brenna are doing ok. I have everything crossed for you both!

Pattern That's really awful, I'm so sorry. Would you consider a private scan? I think I would, in your circumstances.

I would apart from the money situation. Being less than three weeks from our wedding we are slightly skint! Plus we only have one choice round here and it's the place we went last time who really should have referred me back to the hospital rather than just telling me to come back in a fortnight. I mean when a woman turns up saying she's 8 weeks pregnant and you can only see a sac, there's every chance it's not going to end well. Bearing in mind I had a positive test before he was suggesting I should have conceived. Rock and a hard place really. I'm just really pissed off that the doctor has gone back on her word and since it's been so long since I was last in the EPU they won't see me without a referral. Might ring the doctors again tomorrow but I'd doubt if I'll get a lot further. Just very frustrating when they don't even seem inclined to help- I know there's nothing they can do to stop it happening, but there's stuff they NEED to do if it is.

Oh pattern it's so shit. Do you have a phone number for the EPU? Even if it's been too long they might still see you? I hope you can get something sorted.

Pattern I'm in the same situation, I rang the EPU today and felt completely fobbed off, I had bleeding at 6 weeks and now again at 8 weeks along with cramping, the EPU were reluctant to scan me and said GP needs to refer me even though I was there 2 weeks ago for a scan! It's all so frustrating x
