Hi everyone - I suffered from bleeding early on in my pregnancy. I was 8 weeks at the time, a quiet saturday afternoon, I started to get a little cramping which I ignored unitl it became more frequent and more severe in an hour or so. I felt a little uncomfortable and went to the bathroom notcing a large amount of blood, dark in colour. I alerted my fiance and he called for an ambulance. I was observed and checked over and monitored for a period of 9hours, they scanned me twice, the first time they could not see a heart beat...devastating!! The second scan, they found a heart beat and the baby finnnnnaaallllllllyyyyyyy appeared fine. The bleeding was left unexplained and I was given the all clear and continued with a healthy pregnancy. This incident was a huge wake up call to me though, from that day foward, I took extra care of myself and limited myself at work (i work in childcare so alot of lifting is involved...and alot of stress). I think I was trying to do too much. So to all of you preggy mummys...take it easy, accept help and do half of what you think you can do!!!!
