** March 2020 Mamas **

[Summerwine]

I think brown blood generally means old blood though right? Please dont worry too much , they saw that your LO is all okay and that's the main thing!

I felt my LB moving from about 17 weeks so was told to expect it earlier this time. I'm 15+2. Ive only felt it if I'm led on the sofa in the evening or in bed i.e. doing nothing else and not moving! It feels like someone rolling a ball inside my tummy at this point, nothing more than that x

I had a wee scare this am. I had some brown spotting so phoned EPU and they wanted me up for a scan... Baby is perfectly fine... Jeezo I was so worried.

14 weeks plus 2 and got some more pics but baby wasn't posing well for photos!

I had my anti D injection as well cos I am Rhesus neg and had some brown blood. To get another one at 28 weeks.

Oh well at least I got to see baby again.

So glad babys fine and you are reassured!!! Brown blood isnt ever really a worry for them it was probably a release of old blood did they check you for a cervical ectopy? Is that what you ment im rhesus neg i know im probs guna have alot of them lol but thank god me and my mam were talking the other day this is the longest i have not bled apart from the spotting here and there since i was 10 so thats 19 years!!!! And i must say its so nice have you stopped ur pessaries now? Xx

How are we all mamas??? I was supposed to be at the england cricket today but its such along day im getting rounder and im really tired got a feeling my thyroxine might need putting up abit so be glad to get my bloods done at my scan im so exhausted i mean yday i slept the day away apart from pee breaks hahaa!! Was anyone else like this at 12 week?? I have tried to eat red meat to boost me i have a feeling i might be running slightly anemic but i expect that because of underactive thyroid they kinda go hand in hand been told through pregnancy i will need iron transfusions but just wondering if anyone else felt this but then again im awake most nights it comes to bedtime and i just want to eat!! Hahaaa
Whos in for their scans this week i know there is a few of us how are you all feeling im a tad nervous!!! Xx

Forgot we had moved into this forum, I’m feeling really good 14 weeks and 2days, the sickness has gone now, trying to have quiet days on the weekends as I’m so busy with work in the week, I’ve been leisurely cleaning today, not really go a bump yet but ive put around 8 pounds on. My OH just says it from all the crisps and chocolate I’m eating.

Was told Coukd be vessels in cervix burst from over doing it from all the painting and stuff I was doing... Or a cervix abrasion. Still getting the brown discharge just hope it stops soon.

I've got my gender scan on 27th! I'm back to work tmrw after having 2 weeks off. Dreading it!!!

I'm jealous of the ladies fancying crisps and chocolate! I'm barely eating one meal a day and have completely gone off sweet things loved chocolate prior to pregnancy.

Sorry you're feeling a bit rubbish @Jeni 1990, that sounds horrible!!! Fingers crossed once they've got your blood results they can put any imbalance right.

I'm so excited for you having a date to find out gender @Alexis2017!

Awww im the same through the day im barely eating i hardly have an appetite then at 1am im really snacking on cheese slices choci and salt and vinegar crisps!!! Haha not the best diet but i suppose anythings better than nothing ... hopefully u will be feeling more of an appetite in the next week and maybe some cravings i keep wanting fish now and again im not a massive fish fan well i love battered fish and haddock an fish fingers haha but i dont have a massive variety so hopefully i will be eating fish more!!! Oh i do love calamari and fishcakes too maybe i do eat fish i think ladies im going to not find out the gender i think im going for a surprise now thats if i can stick to it when they ask not sure hahaa im guna try my best im going to get them to write it down and seal it for me and see how long i last haha xx

 

[Clairexx89]

I haven’t really lost my appetite it’s just changed completely, I used to be into sweets and cake and rarely ate crisps and chocolate, but I can’t stand anything sweet now, really craving malt loaf with butter so I think I will have to get some tomorrow.

We are not finding out the gender, it’s exciting for those who are!

 

[Summerwine]

Haha fair play to you being awake at 1am @Jeni 1990 its definitely better than nothing! The only thing I've really been fancying is cucumber.

I hope they will write it down for you. The NHS trust we fall under wont do that.

Ooh malt loaf eh @Clairexx89 that's different lol! Fair play to those who don't want to find out, i doht know how you do it!

I'm dying to find out but I dont think my husband will have time off work for the scan and he was away last time round and finding out on your own just isn't that nice so we will see... x

[SpiritedAway]

I've still got terrible appetite and nausea, eating crackers and salt and vinegar crisp. Can't eat big meals without vomiting, can very rarely eat at all without vomiting

I've also got this dry mouth, really thirsty but don't fancy any drink (anyone else have this? It's gross).

Im counting down for my scan now, I haven't told all my family so Tuesday is the day we tell everyone, at last!!

I did have a wobble yesterday, I had totally had enough of vomiting and feeling so tired. Growing babies is hard work lol.

Small world! Went to Bolton with ds as oh worked in Preston when I had him so thought it’s easier for him to get to quickly if he had to come out of work. Also didn’t want my mum having to drive my car in around a city she doesn’t know. Bolton is so easy to get to!
Looked at st Mary’s this time for the chord donation but I am not eligible as I’ve received blood in the past so stayed with Bolton.
