Pregnancies due April 2018 *Edited by MNHQ*

[Shanners123]

Hi ladies.. early days but thought I'd start a group for everyone due April next year... see how we're all doing!

@PurpleFuschia4 - yes, I have a brain like a sieve!!! I am normally organised with military precision but just all over the chip shop at the moment!!!!

wonderfullysunny I just remembered that I already have a pair of those, I'd forgotten all about them til you mentioned it, so thanks for that!

Fairfax I had light bleeding too, once or twice about 3 weeks ago and then 3 days in a row last week. The nurse told me it's normal.

Hi all, hope everyone is ok. Apologies for the long post. On my way home from work last night I was pick pocketed on the tube. Took my new mobile phone and bank cards. I had forgotten to take out insurance due as I found out about the baby just after I got my new phone. I was really upset and cried all the way home. My anxiety was bad and I Started getting stabbing pains and bleeding. Went to A&E last night with my partner until 3am when we gave up and went home. Still bleeding this morning so I went back this morning. My partner said he was going to have a shower and follow me in a separate cab. Had urine tests which showed I was still pregnant but the emergency gynaecologist was not in and the scan equipment was not for vaginal scan so could not see a heartbeat. Blood pressure was low but pulse high so they put me in major care room. My partner never turned up, he apparently fell asleep so I was there on my own. Back home now. I am still lightly bleeding this evening. I have no phone, am on my own and feeling scared. I know some bleeding can happen but I've had no bleeding until the robbery. I don't feel like I am coping. Just looking for reassurance please. X

@fairfax I know how you feel, offering a hug

@IslingtonHels oh lovely I'm so sorry that's happened to you, what an absolute shite of a human being that pick pocket is. Big hand hold for you. I gather DP has left home, is there anyone close other than DP you can be with? You will cope, you're stronger than you think you are you've done so well already
A&E sent you home, what follow up did they suggest as they weren't able to offer the vaginal scan?

Hi @wonderfullysunny they told me to come back on Tuesday. Such a long wait

Had a chat with a midwife who was really reassuring.

Bleeding had stopped by that point but I was still concerned by my complete lack of symptoms - she with her boys she had none and the opposite with her girls.

DH is now convinced that means peanut is a boy!

Thank you for your kind message. The girl who robbed me could see my Baby on Board badge too.

Isington I'm sorry, I didn't read your post before posting mine.

Big hugs.

@fairfax no worries and glad to hear you are feeling better and reassured

I'm so sorry you have been through this @islingtonhels... how awful... I hope all is ok... I will be thinking of you. Take some time and be kind to ypurswlf xx @fairfaxaikman glad bleeding has stopped.

Oh @islingtonhels how awful. Sending you virtual hugs (ah who cares that that is not a mumsnet thing to do). Glad your bleeding has stopped @fairfax.

What a horrible thing to happen to you @IslingtonHels!

That sounds awful. Do you think the stress brought on the bleeding? From my own experience I'm starting to think there is a connection. I hope everything will be OK.

Well last night an this morning I've been feeling pretty sickly. 🤢 last night I initially put it down to eating so much crap whilst at camping. But this morning it's continued and when I tried to eat some of those candy floss grapes people have been raving about I could only eat the one it made me feel more sick. This might be the start of the sickness for me.

@Islington that's awful. But for your baby's sake you need to get your head in a good place. I've been pick pocketed too and it's such a shite experience but honey the phone and cards are replaceable, this baby isn't. So stop panicking about that experience if you can and start focusing on how to calm yourself and look after yourself and your baby. Can you try a mindfulness app and throw yourself into a book you love to distract yourself? You're also going to have to build a support network which doesnt involve your partner, since he is clearly flaky. Time to put yourself first mentally and physically and be damned about him! Sending lots of hugs your way xxx

@ally62442 I've been sick a few times but really just nauseous first thing in the morning... I'm quite overweight and need not to put weight on but alas am only throwing up when have nothing in my stomach!

Morning all. @Shanners123 I totally agree with you, I need to try and keep calm. I'm not really bothered about being pick pocketed any more, just the fact I am still bleeding. Very worried about the baby. I feel like this is my last chance as I won't have another child with my partner, his behaviour over the last 24 hours has been far from supportive.
The hospital advised if the bleeding continues to go back into hospital first thing Tuesday so they can check my cervix, take bloods and do a vaginal scan.
@HarryHarry yes I think it is the stress and now I am blaming myself for getting into a state. It's a catch 22 with worrying about losing the baby.
Hi Ally62442, I hear dried mango works for the nausea? Not tried it myself but a couple of friends suggested.
@scarletsienna 'not a Mumsnet thing to do', thank you that made me chuckle for first time in a while!

Here is the scan from yesterday. The little light coloured coffee bean shape inside the black blob is baby.

Congratulations @IslingtonHels ☺

Did they say how far along you were @IslingtonHels ? X

I'm so sorry @IslingtonHels I've only just gone back and read your previous posts! Hope your ok, sounds like you've been through a terrible time. You need to look after yourself and baby, forget about your partner xx

Hi everyone,

Can I join? I'm almost 7 weeks and approx due date based on period is 16th April.

When I first found out and all through week 5 I had mild cramping, was so tired, sore boobs and really breathless but the last few days I've felt almost perfect, no symptoms at all. I've been tired, but put that down to a few busy days! Has anyone else had this where symptoms just disappear?

Thanks!

Welcome @Griffin252 my symptoms come and go all the time. My only consistent ones is tiredness and nipple soreness.

@IslingtonHels glad your little coffee bean is hanging on in there! Hopefully bleeding is just due to stress. I'll try mango if my sickyness continues.

@lisara79 I've been doing slimming world since January but have gone totally of the rails so at first I didn't know if feeling sick was just because I'd shocked my body by giving it soo much crap.

Just come out of hospital again. Big clots of blood now. Looks like I am losing the baby. The docs said nothing they can do until Tuesday. Beyond devastated. Feel like it is my fault for being so stressed out. This is my last chance, my partner doesn't want kids with me and the way he has behaved I can't stay with him after this. Can't stop crying, 2 days is so long to wait.
