Brown spotting and cramps

Hey star fish.....made me giggle at your 2 hour bath with pickled onions and you're looking for symptoms lol.... Seriously though, I literally had a hot water bottle attached to my back for over 3 weeks with horrid cramps especially lower left hand side of tummy. I did not have spotting but so many people do, I really would try not to worry. Good luck on Thursday and remember no stress!!!
 
Glad things are looking better Starfish... you've made me start longing for some pickled onions now... I love them - especially in a cheese sandwich :)

You haven't done anything wrong at all. Keep us posted on how your appointment goes on Thursday x
 
oh Star Ive just read your thread you poor love. They said to me yesterday if you have clotting and lots of red blood then worry. BUT to call them if I get the bleeding again to talk through things.

OK Pickled onions and a warm bath arent going to make you lose the baby darlin dont worry about that. If anything the warmth of the bath will just relax you and take the aches away. The slight cramping was worrying me too for the last couple of days but the midwife said that some women bleed at the time of their period during their pregnacy for quite a while. Which is true for me as for the first 3 months of this prenancy Ive had periods....lighter and shorter but still I had them and the baby is fine.

Hope youre feeling better today hunni xxx
 
hi star i had red blood at 6 weeks and i had it for two days i only wore a panti liner but it was bad enough to have to change and and the baby is fine i have also had terrible cramps... good luck x x
 
i dont want to get ur hopes up but i had spotting and bleeding with Madison and i thought i was losing , and lo and behold shes here large as life! fx for you hun, i really hope bean is sticky xxx
 
Star fish! I had spotting twice and was fine but I know what kind of panic you must be going through.
I'd say eating pickled onions in the bath was a sure enough sign ;-)
 
lol, thanks for the messages girls - I'm ashamed to say that I've always eaten pickled onions in the bath! And cherry tomatoes. I cant imagine a long bath without a snack of some kind. I realise I am a nutter. My husband says I eat like a pregnant person so when i am pregnant I ought to eat like a normal person, but so far all i've done different is eat ice-cream (which i normally avoid due to sensitive teeth).

Bleeding is still stopped, so thats a relief, and cramps have eased off a bit. But still no symptoms! Except a slight headache and yawning. I feel like its all gone wrong and i'm in denial or something. Is my body playing tricks in a good way or a bad way?

And I dont feel hopeful that my doctor will say anything helpful tomorrow. She will say "It sounds normal, wait and see", but I can't or I will lose the baby through ridiculous worrying! I'm debating lying to her and making out it was worse than it is just so they might check somehow. Is that really bad?
 
Good luck for tomoro star, let us know how it goes IMMEDIATELY lol. I'd exaggerate symptoms a little too in the hope of them actually taking it seriously. Maybe it's not the right thing to do, but I'd probs do it anyway :oooo:
 
Good luck for tomorrow star, let us know. I'm sure all will be fine xxx
 
Good luck for tomorrow, I would exaggerate a bit if I was you if they aren't being helpful! Or cry! Shouldn't be too hard to do with all the hormones xx I'll be thinking of you Xx
 
big hugs and lots of luck for tomorrow STARFISH XXX
 
I hope your appointment today goes well. Hugs and thoughts are with you xxxxx
