All my birthday have ended in some a pph. My first was controlled in the room and a tranfusion was given my uterus stopped contracting so blood pooled in my uterus.
The 2nd time they were prepared but it was a different bleed my placenta wouldn't detach so like you I ended up in theatre. The doctors will be peepared with blood in your room in a fridge and you will have a line in your veins ready to go. My advice is don't let them induce you as it is more likely to cause a pph. But if a c section is a choice for you then you could ask. I'm terrified aswell but I married my DH in January and we have 3 children between us but none together and we really want a baby together. It's taken a lot to decide to try though. How are you feeling? We can support each other through our fears 🙂

@UnicornPrincessSarah how are you doing today? Did you do the Asda test?

@emmies86 Thank you for the reply! Thats good to know that they are prepared as I had to wait for blood from a different hospital last time. I had a D&C in August following a miscarriage and they had blood to hand in case I had a haemorrhage during that operation, thankfully it wasn’t needed. Interesting to know that an induction can make it worse, I was also told that a c-section can increase your chances of a bleed because they’re cutting through the uterus. I think my bleeding was worse due to a 3rd degree tear and an episiotomy, so I lost blood from the wounds on top of the PPH. It’s hard to know what to do for the best but I think I’ll be guided by the experts and go with their advice. Already feeling apprehensive about what’s to come with the birth but know we have a lot of obstacles to overcome before then too so trying not to think too far ahead! Would you opt for a c-section after two previous PPH’s? Congratulations on your wedding! 🤍🤍xx

Hope everyone is doing good and having a good Tuesday, 12/14 dpo for me today

Sorry been a bit busy today but here is today's update for everyone

So after talking to some other people or having responses to my posts seems clear and blue nondigital can have a habit of fading, I can still see a slight blue line but wouldn't pick up if I were to take a photo.

Anyway this morning on FMU on 6.5 hour hold I did another wondfo strip 10mui and a clear and simple 20mui test and both tests came up positive

attached photos are now all my tests from Friday 22nd up to today

@UnicornPrincessSarah these are looking way more positive today!! Good line on the white and purple test 🙌🏼

@UnicornPrincessSarah can deffo see progression on your tests, the ones from today are looking great 😊
Have you braved a digital yet? 🥰

@dreammama Thanks im not sure why the line got a little bit darker after the 5 min mark but hasn't gotten darker since

Can I ask are any of you ladys getting cramps/ twinges around left side ovaries/ hips and under belly like utures area also feels bit heavy.

all cramps are like on and off and cant make up there mind how long they want to last

@unicornprincesssarah that's wonderful, are you feeling more relieved? I finally got a positive digital test this afternoon and finally feel like I can breathe and relax.

Ah thats excellent, and a little bit less stressed but now with cramps and twinges I get scared again lol

I think once I know AF don't show ill relax more well I hope lol

@UnicornPrincessSarah yes I am, spent most of today at work utterly terrified. Mine tend to be a bit more on the right side and then like a bubbly type feeling and pressure in my uterus. Trying to not be a psycho and overthink everything but can’t help but worry!

@sgj91
I wouldn't want a c section as it's more risky. I was induced both times and I am going to ask to let things happen on their own this time. I had really bad tearing with my 2nd the labia was shredded so there was alot of blood from that like you.
I'm terrified but I am trying to focus on small steps, my first is getting to 13 weeks. I'm here if you need a chat, we can get through this together.

I'm right there with you. Twinges and cramps and I had this wet feeling before and checked with my hand it wasn't blood I was that scared.

The bubble feeling I had today. Butnit happened as I pooped it was like a dropping bubble.

Today I feel so much less crampy (although they’re defo still there) which is great because now I feel like I can focus on cracking on with pregnancy haha. Keeping everything crossed for you ladies and hoping for some sticky December babies :)

I had a doctors appointment booked for some weird mid-cycle symptoms which I called to cancel and they asked to refer me to the midwifery care team (they wont get in touch until 6-8 weeks about a booking appointment at 8-10 weeks) so it just feels soooo real now! So excited!

I think this time around my husband doesn’t want to tell many people until 12 weeks and we’re going to do a Sneakpeek gender test again around 12 April- can’t believe baby #3 is in my belly!

Hello everyone! Just joining this. I have been testing positive since the 20th! Only 10dpo from conception. This is my first pregnancy, I'm turning 29 next month. I'm getting very light period like cramps a couple of times a day. :-) Due date is 1st December.

Did you happen to notice if you may have oulvated from right side? i think mine was my left as had cramps there 12/13th

I'm just glad the cramps and twinges right now not to painful and don't last to long but does get me a bit scared, its all really new and we never really know whats going on with our body.

I even get out of breath now walking 30 mins and feel so drained like wtf I use to be fit and healthy and walk miles

funny to when one area stops moves somewhere else now its the boobs they feel heavy lol

Welcome and congrats, i have been having few cramps aswell sometimes feels like I should be bleeding but not, apparently this can be quiet common and normal but it is scary

Omg i had the wetness feeling down there aswell check cervix no blood but lots of milky white discharge

our body really do like to keep us on edge

Hey hun, just read your post congratulations, I’m asking for some advice, iv had 3 positive tests then tested the day after because it’s so unexpected and it was negative Iv just tested again and it’s positive, iv booked in with the DR for a blood test, Iv got all the dull aches I had at the start with my son as I found out so early then aswell. It’s just so confusing :( hope your pregnancy is going well, not long now ;) xx

Ahh bless, I haven't done anything just yet waiting till AF deff late and then doing the digital and may book an early private scan for some piece of mind

Think we will only tell our partners and that's it until 12 weeks aswell, before at 18 i told no one and then I was all alone they then found out when I went to the hospital because of MC

Glad cramps getting better, sometimes my symptoms go then I get scared when they go lol

Hi was this for me? I'm only 3 weeks. 6 days pregnant lol

Are you testing at different times of the day with different branded tests?

Omg I’m so sorry I’m new to this haven’t been on since pregnant with my son 2 years ago lol it was a general post.
and yes I am xx

@Lauren0506 Ah thats ok, when is your blood test due? I would maybe carry on testing maybe morning and evening. and see if notice any changes. if not wait for the bloods and hopefully Gp can help put your mind at ease about whats happening

Yes i will do that, should really know having been through it before, but these tests are just so confusing at times lol. I went in today and they are going to request one from the DR so hopefully not waiting too long! Iv got the dull aches it was so unexpected but your body tells you something isn’t right. And I’m so impatient 🤣 x
