I’m the same, I have new spots every day.

RustyCat · 02/10/2020 09:22

@MayBAE21 saaamen! I keep getting new spots and my forehead is soo dry and flaky but the rest of my face seems to get oily and spotty 😞 it's annoying as normally I only get a few spots (2-5) when AF is due but currently I am rocking new ones every day. I think it's down to the hormones

RustyCat · 02/10/2020 09:24

@Sansa87 good luck today at your scan. I am thinking of you!

Sansa87 · 02/10/2020 10:02

Thankyou, baby looking fine, measuring at 9+1. They can’t see where the bleeding is coming from, but baby is fine.

NRDoss · 02/10/2020 10:17

@Sansa87 so glad to hear that the baby is doing fine Smile congrats.. rest up and take care xx

RustyCat · 02/10/2020 10:30

@Sansa87 oh that's fantastic to hear! I've ready many stores where people have had bleeds and the hospital/midwifes aren't able to confirm where it's come from.

Glad to hear baby is measuring and doing fine!

Pinkiii · 02/10/2020 11:10

@Sansa87 so relieved for you! Glad everything is well.

UnicornAndSparkles · 02/10/2020 12:16

Great news @Sansa87! I too have friends who have bleeding throughout pregnancy and have gone onto have healthy babies. Sometimes they just don't know why the bleeding happens but it can be harmless.

MayBAE21 · 02/10/2020 12:18

@Sansa87 Fantastic to hear!!! So happy it's good news. Take some to rest up and be kind to yourself. Daffodil

MayBAE21 · 02/10/2020 12:24

@rustycat @bloomety I've just been to the shops to get some new face washes and moisturisers. I've put all the fancy stuff away and gone back to good old faithful Cetaphil and CeraVe. Oh so sexy!

Gingergeek89 · 02/10/2020 12:34

@Sansa87 so glad to hear this! I know that sometimes people get hormonal bleeding from the cervix due to the hormonal changes, which may explain the bleeding, but this doesn’t pose a threat to the baby at all. You must be so happy 😀 x

I’m absolutely exhausted 😅 I’ve had to ring work and apologise, & trying to lower my anxiety 😂

The doctor was lovely and said that with the bleeding, pain, loss of symptoms along with losing our baby in September, it’s completely understandable being so anxious about stuff like this.

leftitlate37 · 02/10/2020 13:28

Ah so so relieved for you @Sansa87 u really have gone thru it havent u. Be gentle on yourself and take some you time this weekend for some TLC! X

StrawberriCream · 02/10/2020 14:47

Scan date has come through, 3 weeks to wait! Crossing everything! 😬

ScottishStardust · 02/10/2020 15:40

Oh @Sansa87 so happy everything turned out to be ok this morning. Been thinking of you.

wishingwomen · 02/10/2020 15:41

@Sansa87 just been reading and so glad everything ok!
I'm the same as you paranoid all the time I lost a baby in June These weeks are getting slower and slower I've never felt my boobs so much just to see if they hurt Grin
I've got a scan booked for next Friday last time I didn't make it but I'm past the date now so looking forward to this scan but slightly nervous the build up to it just hope it goes fast x

RustyCat · 02/10/2020 16:36

It's killing me I have 4 weeks and 4 days until my 12 wk scan it's absolutely torture! We are keeping it secret until all is well at the scan because last time we didn't get as close as a 12 wk scan sadly 😞.

@wishingwomen same I keep giving mine a poke or press just to see if they hurt still (they do) DH still not allowed near them after he snuck up and meeped both of them and I was near sick with the pain.

wishingwomen · 02/10/2020 19:12

@RustyCat It's madness isn't it but I'm constantly looking for symptoms and ah I've got a early one in a week then I'm guessing I'll get my twelve week after I've seen the midwife on the 23rd x

elowheez · 02/10/2020 19:32

Hey. I found out I was pregnant around a week ago! I am really excited but I am quite young and anxious. My family are being supportive but just looking for advice about pregnancy as it's all so new to me Smile

RustyCat · 03/10/2020 04:44

@wishingwomen oh tell me about it! My main symptom is sore boobs, every so often I get a bit nauseous but not often thankfully, but that's the most really recently.

@elowheez congratulations! Lots of people around here will happily help. Very friendly people 😊

ScottishLassie91 · 03/10/2020 09:43

Anyone else struggling a bit? I'm so tired but struggling to sleep 😭
Anytime I move my boobs are sore and wake me up, last night I finally got back to sleep about 5am to wake back up just after 6 wretching and having to run to the bathroom.

Gingergeek89 · 03/10/2020 09:59

@ScottishLassie91 I’m at around 10 weeks and the severe non-stop nausea and vomiting is starting to subside a bit so it’s more waves now. Now on to crippling exhaustion, had 11 hours last night and could have slept for ever but have my last day of a 6 day week today. Being able to sleep through the night like that has only just started in the last few days though. How far along are you now?
