Hi gang,

Feeling a bit pants today :-/ I finished my antibiotics yesterday but today I woke up really snotty and had to blow my nose a thousand times! Hoping it's just the tail end of things with the sinusitis and not a new cold!! I then came downstairs and whilst doing my sons breakfast had to run to the loo and be sick :-/ ......Everytime I'm sick I get all these little burst blood vessels over my face and neck like a rash....I just look hideous
Then I went to the loo and had brown when I wiped Its only a little bit and I've had a tiny bit of brown spotting since. I'm trying not to panic coz they did say after last weeks bleed I could have a bit more but it should stop by 2 weeks time. I have mw tomorrow so I will talk to her then but I'm trying not to worry
Hope you're all doing ok today? Almost time for the last few from tr1 to come join us

Hey hun
Sorry to hear your day isn't going so well.

There is a lot going on, a cold, being sick and the spotting, blimey !

Hoping you would be feeling better from the cold and all by now, it sounds like all the straining with being sick could have triggered the spotting? Don't know for sure , just wondering.
Brown is old blood, so probably connected to the 1st bleed and not a new bleed.

I know how worrying it is, as my bleeds lasted for at least 2weeks at a time and ended with brown spotting before going completely, and it leaves you on tenterhooks doesn't it?

Do go to epu hun if you think is a good idea, did you say you would have a free pass there for 2 weeks? Is your mw appt in the morning that if you decided to go to hospital you could go after seeing her? Just wondering if they are open at weekends or just Mon-Fri? Sometimes you just need the extra reassurance

I am praying that everything settles for you as this really is pants hun

You know where I am if you need anything at all

[mum2b410]

Thanks hun- mW tomorrow is 2.15. If I need to I can go to the gynae ward out of hours and bypass a and e. EPU is a mon-fri 9-5 thing. I've only had a couple of tiny brown spots since this morning so hoping its stopped. Will call EPU in the morning if I need to and if not will just discuss with mw in the afternoon! Trying my best to not panic, but yes, it is hard!

Hope u r feeling good today?

Mrs_Ikram - congrats hun! Welcome! I will add u to our list We have our anomaly scans the same day xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Yes don't panic hun, I don't think you need to but at the same time I know that it is easier said than done.
Keep positive and take it easy and I am glad you are seeing midwife tomorrow so hopefully you will be reassured.

I am ok thanks, I am scared to say this, but just very slight nausea today and hoping the 16 weeks mark is going to once again prove to be the start of the end! I am on shifts tomorrow and Saturday night in a new hospital at the labour ward i have be wanting to do shifts there for a while as it is closer to where I live but have been putting it off, they called me today and asked me to help as they were short, so that will be interesting !

Sprk and mrs_ikram welcome to the loveliest thread

Allyackles, so glad you are feeling bubs now, I am starting to notice a wee pattern with my baby, when I am in bed at night on my left side it starts having a party in there, it has been the same for the last week but last night felt very strong movements, it is lovely

Xxxx

 

[mum2b410]

That's great hun! Let's hope this is the beginning of the and with sickness!!.... Just take it easy with those shifts as getting knackered won't help! Thanks again for your reassurance xxx

 

[lottielou]

Fingers crossed for you hun re sickness. Its a horrible thing but i hope it passes esp woth you on shift. . I personally love to see a pregnant mw. I always thing few atleast she understands exactly what shes doing! ! And how emotional it all is

welcome all new august mamas. I love this thread everyone is so nice!! A right little team august we are making up!

I just felt something very strange in my tummy. .. Hmmm i wonder if this baby is starting to make themselves known ha. I heard it on doppler moving. But this feeling is like having a small muacle spasm. !?

Does that sound familiar. I didnt feel any bubbles with my dd felt her at 19 weeks and it was a fair old whack.

Xxx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Thanks and Yes me too my midwife was pregnant when I was last time and I felt really close to her, shame I didn't see her regularly enough. I am on larger scrubs now so don't really look pregnant just fat :/ having said that a mum asking how far on I was the other day so it may be more obvious than I think
I too hope to feel ok now, had enough of feeling sick!

I think we all feel babies but describe it differently ? I felt flutters not bubbles, like a little butterfly in my lower tummy, the first few times I wasn't sure what it was baby but now I can recognise it; you' re probably feeling bubs, keep watching and you will probably feel it more often as the days go by

[Mummy bear]

Had my scan today

 

[Mummy_midwife]

[lottielou]

[Mummy bear]

Thank you, was so lovely he waved his arm and sucked his thumb. Changed my dates so I'm due 27th. I have my next one on 16th April

 

[allyackles]

Crappy day today. Anxiety and feeling a bit down. I'm full of doom and gloom it seems!! Heard babies hb again. Went to the doctor, again, because of a pre existing health thing I have and mentioned I'd had some discharge (sorry about the tmi!) He said fine let me feel your belly. Next thing I know he had the doppler out and was listening in again. Completely didn't expect him to do that! Took him ages to find the hb today but he eventually found it. So far this week I've heard the hb twice, so that's been lovely.

Mummy_midwife it is lovely feeling those movements however small and faint they are!

mum2be410 I hope you're feeling better soon and good luck with your midwife app tomorrow.

 

[Purplesocks]

Hi ladies. Sorry I'm not posting more. Jut exhausted with work, my daughter and still feeling sick. I'm 13+ 4 now. It need to do one!!
Meant to say my 20week scan is 8th April.

Has anyone thought about when they will start mat leave from. I have 3 weeks holiday to add on first do was thinking of going at 35 weeks, means working til 32. I felt shattered at that point in my first pregnancy and my bp is always a worry. Can't wait to go on mat leave!! Will just have to do with a weeks holiday in 2 weeks time.

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

Morning all, feel like I've lost a week since they put me forward at the scan! I'm starting to feel normal now tho. Bump has popped up overnight as well x

 

[lottielou]

So glad some of you are feeling better. I love been sent all the preg emails saying 'you should be starting to have more energy'. . Not me!!

Im still on mat leave with my daughter. Due to go back in a few weeks. Boo. Currently not getting paid so relying on hubby.

As soon as i go back ill give them my mat b form and try to stick it out until 36/38 weeks i think. So end of july i was thinking.

Sounds ridiculous but cant wait already and im not even there!!

Hows everyone else this morning!? Xxx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Hey girls, I am still feeling ok today touch wood it will continue hope the same for you officially mrsm.

Purplesocks I am not sure yet when exactly I will go on mat leave. Will see how I feel in a few weeks, probably around 34 weeks or thereabouts.

Lottielou that's great you are still on mat leave nice break !

Allyackels I hope you are feeling a bit better today and that listening to baby's heart beat put your mind at rest

Mum2b410 I hope all goes well with midwife appt this afternoon and that things settle for you.

I am quite nervous about starting doing shifts in a new hospital tonight, I did most of my training there so I am hoping it will all come back to me soon enough

[mum2b410]

Hi girls!
I had more bleeding yesterday and this morning but nearly all old blood and not a huge amount in grand scheme of things! Obviously worried I had advice from hospital and have seen mw this afternoon. Heard hb which was fine and apart from traces of blood in urine all OK. MW has said I can ring her and she will fit me in clinic if need be for reassurance in the coming weeks! Trying to stay calm about it all and hope that baby really is OK.....its hard tho :-/

I will make sure I catch up with adding people to the list.

My job is finishing on march 31 st and I will probably just remain unemployed from then on! No mat pay for me :-/

Good luck tonight mummy_midwife I'm sure u will be fine!

[Happy84]

Hey everyone! Hope all is well with you all!!

Back from an amazing time in Paris!! Was lovely! I'm so so so exhausted now tho!! I think a onesie weekend is in order - if I can fit in any of my onesies that is!! X

 

[Hoping for no2]

Woo hoo looks like we've all graduated to tri 2 now we've all had our scans?

Called the midwife this morning as had a large wet patch on my pjs when I got up. Thought it could be urine as do have bladder issues but totally odourless...the midwife said to put on a sanitary towel and monitor as if amniotic fluid it will keep leaking. It's been about 9 hours and towel seems a bit damp but not wet. Think prob ok but can't help being a bit worried. After suffering with HG I just really need a break not more stress...argh! X
