**May Mummies**

[SugaryIris]

I was lying in bed last night and I had a really sharp strong pain, all the way across my belly, it took my by surprise and was so intense I gasped. Also having some uncomfortable pains this morning. I’m really scared there is something wrong and I’m going to lose my baby. My sister lost hers days before her 12 week scan so it’s always in my mind. I’m 11 weeks tomorrow.

My understanding is that they always want to know about spotting so I would let your midwife know for sure. You could always ring your go as well for some reassurance? I think 111 will tell you to contact the epu. Has it stopped now? Are you lifting heavy things or something at work that is causing it? Have you told work your pregnant?

No, not lifted anything at work was just sitting down. Was the middle of the night when it was quiet. Just two wipes and gone again, nothing since. I have been having sharp pains too, for a few days now, their not constant tho, I've actually had pains for he last two weeks not cramps actual pain. Terrifying isnt it. I'm 11 weeks tomorrow too.

Yeah when I had spotting last week midwife wasnt concerned she just said was probably down to coughing but i haven't been coughing today.

Yes, my manager knows, I haven't had my risk assessment yet though as we are struggling to find a time where we can both meet (difficult as I'm on nights)

You have to be refered to our EPU, and when i had spotting last week she didn't want me to get another scan as I'd already had two . She also reckoned the spotting could be from the bicornuate uterus as the side that the baby's not in doesn't realise its pregnant.

Do you think shed mind if I text her say about 8am incase shes sleeping? I'm just going home from work now xxx

Scan done. Measures 7 weeks. They said scan you at 12..
But, they found a small bleed on outside sac?? Whys this!! Ahh anyone had this? Waiting for a nurse but makes me worried tbh...

Sophie I had a bleed outside the sac and brown spotting at 10 and 11 weeks. I done plenty of resting, drank loads of water and it was gone by my 12 week scan x

I would text, she probably won’t even turn her phone on until working hours x

Yeah I'll give her a text. The midwife is only in our GP surgery on a thursday so hopefully she will answer at some point today. Dont want to bother the GP if I don't have to xx

She text back. She said I only need to ring the GP if im having heavy bleeding and heavy cramps. She said light pink when wiping was fine. Xx

i think you might just be one of those ladies that spots throughout! If it’s because of your shaped uterus, that makes sense. Hope you feel better now you’ve told her. Xx

Yeah, hopefully it's fine again. She said last week when I saw her that people with heart shaped uterus can spot for no reason because he side where the baby is not implanted in doesn't realise its pregnant. My grandmother had a 'period' every month up until she was 7 months with my dad, she didn't even realise she was pregnant untill she was gone 7 months. Midwife reckons she had the same problem. X

I've lost my wee bean girls. No heartbeat to be seen. She had to do transvaginal scan this time to see. Deep down I just knew.. I went to app on my own too my partner doesn't even know yet he in an app.
Got to go back Wednesday to be rescanned and decide what I want to do.

So sorry. It's so heartbreaking. Hope your partner supports you and takes a good care of you.

@maythe4thbewit
What kind of work do you do? Could you change your schedule and do days? It's a bit strange that they did not offer another scan just to put the mind at ease.

@SugaryIris
Is the pain gone? Sharp pain could be stretching ligaments? May be call midwife?

 

[TTC no2]

Thanks Charlotte.
I wish all u girls the best with ur little bundles xo

Yes pain has gone and nothing at all since. Still got my nausea and other symptoms. If it happens again I’ll call the midwife. I have my 12 week scan on Tuesday so I’m just keeping everything crossed until then x

I work in a psychiatric hospital, I could switch to days but it would create problems and I'd literally never see my husband. Hes learning to drive and works in the middle of nowhere so working nights means I can take him and pick him up, work same days so we get a day off together. My day shifts would be 16 hours (nightshifts are only 11) so wouldnt be able to take or fetch him. Also I'd be taken a 2 pound an hour pay cut, ans honestly it's much muh quiter on nights. We have a lot of violent patients in atm and it's less incidents at night.

She didn't offer me a scan last week when I had spotting either, she said as I'd already had two scans (even though one was private) their not bothered and just to wait for the 12 week one (well almost 13 weeks by he 24th). Bit annoying really xx

@maythe4thbewit
Aw I see. If nights are easier then it's definitely better and you get to spend time with your husband. I don't understand why NHS counts your private scan. You only had 1 on NHS. They should offer another one.

@SugaryIris
Only 4 sleeps for you. Is this your first scan?
Mine is in November. Still a few weeks ahead.
I still feel nauseous and heartburn has not stopped. Could not resist Nandos this evening. Yum

I don't understand why they count it either. She even said last week "oh your 12 week scan will be later than 12 weeks because you've already had two scans showing baby is alive and a singleton and that's what their concerned about". I feel abit left to get on with it tbh. She didn't take my concerns about spotting seriously last week and said it was probably from coughing and this morning she said all fine as log as its not heavy bleeding. I know it was only two wipes again but its still going to be an anxious wait now until the 24th (should be 12+5 by then according to private scan dates)

I could book private scan again but weve been doing the house out this month so have spent quite alot, and also were putting new flooring down next week which is costing a bomb so would rather not spend 70 pound again on another scan and then be skint. Especially because I've already lost out on a weeks pay this month due to being sick last week. But if I get any more spotting I will just be booking privately again, as they seem abit useless.

I had one at 7 weeks to check for a heartbeat just because I didn’t believe I was pregnant. This is my nhs 12 week scan although I think I’ll only be 11w 3d
