Ugh, went to the haematology today to get my bloods done as my veins hate needles and collapse at the sight of them. Thank goodness my mum was with me as it was a 2 hour wait. Kieran behaved beautifully as usual but tge last half an hour, he was in the corridor with my mum wheeling him up and down, locked out of the waiting room and I couldn't go out because if you left, you gave up your place. If he was a difficult baby, I have no idea how they'd expect us to cope. Who shuts parents away from babies? They wouldn't even let mum pass him to me so I wasn't best pleased.
Anyway, bloods done so all is well that ends well I guess.
How are all you mummies to be feeling?

God that's terrible but glad everything went okay!!! Imagine what you would have done if you had to go alone!!
I seen my baby's heartbeat again today and have been told I have a threatened misscariage because of the bleeding I'm getting. The nurse seemed positive and said the baby was higher than where the blood was and I have another scan a week today, then they are gona scan me every week/ 2 weeks to monitor me. Have also been told to take time off work which is great, means I can try to relax. anyone else had this? Feeling better seeing the heartbeat but can't fully be excited as there is a 50 50 chance of misscariage. Nothing ever comes easy lol. Hope everyone else is feeling okay!!

Great that the nurse eas so positive. Hold on to that because they are usually more likely ti be doom and gloom. Definitely rest, put your feet up and do nothing more than a gentle walk every few hours. Remember to get up and move every hour as well, even if just for a wee or to get a drink/snack.
Fx for yout next scan. X

How stressful! Hopefully the extra monitoring and scans will give you some reassurance. Did they tell you that you had a 50% chance of a miscarriage? That seems really high given there is still a heartbeat!
Fingers crossed all will be well
I'm feeling less than ordinary, but just trying to eat regularly to keep any sickness at bay

Yeah the nurse said 50 50 but I've been reading up about it (I know I shouldn't but it's actually calmed me down a bit as I never realised how common it is) the proper name for the bleeding is "subchoronic hematoma" and most people have been given a 50 50 chance and made it through the pregnancy okay. There has been A LOT of blood and I mean gushes so I'm thinking thats why it's 50 50. Just trying to make it through until Friday for my other scan and trying to rest until then! Aw no have you had a lot of sickness? At least you can still manage to eat!

Wow, that's scary! I remember a lady on this forum who was bleeding (gushing blood) during her early pregnancy and it worked out fine - so definitely possible! I guess you have to be careful with your iron levels x
Yes, eating regularly is definitely key for me. Otherwise I feel so much worse! I haven't been sick, just really tired! Have you been getting other symptoms yet? x
They never told me to go any tablets but I'm gona ask on Friday if I should be taking anything other than my folic acid. That's not too bad then! My boobs have been sore since I found out, been quite constipated but I have IBS so that doesn't help and I'm not sleeping that great so I get really tired come 7pm ha. Not had much sickness, there's been a few days I've felt a bit sick and dizzy but it's not came to much.

Hey I'm thread hoping but thought you could do with something positive. I spotted around 6 weeks pregnant. Then out of nowhere gushed so much blood in 30 mins it soaked my trousers through and went down my leg! Thought I passed the sack later that day as well (was actually huge clot). The following day I had a scan at epu and there was the baby with a strong heart beat. No explanation for bleed ever given. The bleeding stopped and about 2 weeks later spotting stopped.
This baby has continued to be very naughty! Frustrated the sonographers at my 12 week scan doing jumps so was hard to get images, and likes to hide so I don't feel kicks for a few days. Then just as a really worry I get a bashing. Think they'll be a handful when they're born.
Just wanted you to know it's not all bad and there is hope. I'm 21 +3 weeks now!
P. S. After going through this ritualistic toilet paper checking never goes away. It took me 2 months to stop wearing a pad everywhere too.
Aw thanks so much for sharing your story!! So glad everything is working out it honestly is the scariest thing to lose that much blood! This is my 3rd week now of spotting but my 6th day proper bleeding although it has died down slightly since yesterday. Hoping it goes away soon. It makes me feel better hearing stories similar to mine with a positive outcome
Good luck I imagine it's natural to feel that way but I'm sure everything will be fine!!! Let us know how you get on

I felt the exact same way with Kieran's 12 week scan because at 26, a 12 week scan showed what was to be a failed pregnancy. After more losses, I never really relaxed with Kieran's pregnancy. I'm feeling totally different with this one. Seeing a little baby on your first scan is magical though, so take a moment to breathe it all in. Xxx

Hopefully the allergy test will be fine. My youngest daughter had a milk allergy from birth which was a nightmare, luckily she has grown out of it now though.
The scan went fine, I’m dated at 12+6 so was moved forward a few days.

Aw what a relief, you must feel like a huge weight is off your shoulders!
My 12 week scan isn't until the 18th of April it feels so long away but I have one on Friday and hopefully another one 2 weeks after then just to monitor this bleeding. It must make it seem more real being able to tell people too. Are you gona find out what you're having?
