how do you set up the time ticker at the bottom as a signature .... ?
Also its normal to have whitish discarge around 6 weeks for how long ?
I think lots of woman have a CM discharge...some more than others. I haven't had so myself but others will read your post and let you know if they have had that. I have heard the girls all say that they have had no CM and some had had loads. CM= Cervical Mucus. I guess you need to be sure it is not infection of some kind which you would know if it was particularly smelly or making you itchy etc like Candida or Thrush would. Thrush is very common through pg hun...so don't panic i am sure there is an explanation. You might just have extra CM!
As for the tickers...you can use any ticker you like, but Belly Belly Tickers are found up the top of the page here, 3rd tab along. Go in there put you details in and preview it...then create the ticker and cut and paste the bottom code into you signature...which you can get to in your user profile...or quick links usually has access to edit signature. Have fun!
Thank you for all your help.
:welcome: Pink and congrats on your long awaited BFP :cheer:
:welcome: Pink congrats on the BFP the discharge is normal and comes and goes and can get more as well
Waiting 1 :hug: hope things get better soon
Devon :hug: sweetie take care
Me off to see Shannon and Julia and Owen today. Feeling ok some streaching happening and my lap scares are getting bigger :)
welcome Pink - and congrats on your BFP. you'll find all of us in here have been through the stresses of early pregnancy and (mostly) come out of it ok!! the extra CM comes and goes - just keep an eye on it - as HM mentioned, if it smells wrong, or you get any itching get yourself checked.
AFM - 13 weeks today! yay! am completely over feeling queasy so often - i finally had a day on Friday where i felt human - it went bye byes yesterday again and today - not fair! i want to feel like ME again, not a shell of who i am because i'm so damn queasy!
Hi everyone!
Pink: huge congrats on the BFP, wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.
BG: really hope the MS eases for you soon it is horrid, mine lasted til about 16 weeks so hopefully it wont set in fot the long haul.
Waiting1: congrats on the girl, dont worry i dont get on often and when i do, i dont know where to begin!
MissC: its so great to hear from you, and i am so sorry youve been havin a rough time, it has been a really full on year for you with many life changing events. I cant believe your getting so close to meeting CB. Take care and you know we are here when you need us! (like so often you have been for us ;) )
Devon: Hope your ok, i know exactly what you mean i have been very hormonal/ emotional this week, its definatley a much harder journey when youve done the LTTTC thing.
Numa: hey belly buddy hows it all going? Not long now and we get to meet our special little people :D
BW, hippymum, Kahlan, nicole, Janie, ontrack, Bel, Nixon, TL and LNB sending you loads of belly rubs hope you are all enjoying this wonderful journey!
AFM: well my ob is pretty good, i see the midwife first who checks urine, BP and weight, then the OB who does a quick feel of fundus height and a quick scan to check fluid levels and position, then she discusses any issues i have. (she always gives me an updated pic to which is really cute)
Dont know who said about CM but i had lots which i think they said was due to high prog levels.
I am very hormonal at the mo and it hasnt helped that ive had lots of vistors and my neighbours kids seem to have made my house there new home :doh: which is really driving me nuts! I am also getting really p##sed off with questions about my CS, i dont know why everyone feels its there business to ask why i am having a so called"elective" CS, i definately didnt get that when i told people i was having a VB with DS. It is no wonder people get so defensive about there "choice". I have had everyone from my hairdresser to friends of my mum, grill me on why i would make such a desicion. (Like i just want to explain anal tears, fecal incontinence and short perineums to everyone i meet) but unfortunatley i seem forced to give an explaination to these people! And then when you do explain they know the friend of a cousin, whose sister had a bad tear and went on to birth naturally with no probs. I have lived with my mum and grandmother who both have terrible fecal incontinence issues and if theres even a 5% risk of having that im happy to have a CS, again not somethin im sure my mum or nana want me to share with every tom, **** and harry! Sorry for the rant its really getting me down at the moment and i think you feel so let down by your body as it is when youve had AC that you really dont need the added pressure and guilt. Sorry no more ranting :redface:
Hugs to all and congrats to all the newbies and there BFP"S yipppeeeeee!
Hi all,
Sorry up front for the personal post. I am terrified right now. Had a huge bleed last night and spent the night in hospital. My FS came in and did an US and both babies looked great..nice strong heartbeats. Had another smaller bleed through the night and another US this morning showed the little ones were still fine. FS said he could see a pocket of blood near where the placenta is forming. He said I'd have more bleeding due to the blood sitting there. He said he was hopeful that all would still turn out ok but I am on total bedrest now. So i've come home from hospital and have been bleeding every time I go to the toilet. I am beside myself with worry but am praying everything will be ok. I just want everything to go smoothly and be easy for once..
Hope everyone is ok..
Hugs Bel
Bel hun i'm so sorry you're going through this - it must be so hard. the fact that they've seen your bubs and all is ok is a great sign. your fs explaining there will be more bleeding will help explain it - sounds like the building placenta has nicked a blood vessel and blood has pooled there. hope it doesn't last too long - rest up babe and keep reassuring your babies that they are meant to hang around
BG
Bel - I'm hoping all works out for you - you've been through a lot.
Bel, Oh hun, i hope the bibs stay put...they sound very comfy but this experience can't be good for your nerves. I am sending you lots of love and wishes for you to heal quickly. Just stay put and rest and I hope for the very best.
Scooby, Thanks for the belly rubs hun. My god you have just spoken about my worst and only fear for birthing our bubs. I know i am a long way away from it but I am scared for my bum. I have never told anyone that. You mentioning that really struck a cord for me. My very first reaction was..don't tell anyone hun...it is none of their business and entirely your choice. How on earth did your hair dresser find out?..you poor thing. It is dreadful how people gossip at the expense and hurt of others. I plan on having a home birth if all goes well and will use Hypnobirthing as much as i can. I have the scenario all planned out in my head and if all goes well, great...but i am prepared to have a change of plans if needed. But my biggest and ONLY fear is tearing and ruining my bum. I have already got trouble there and it just worries me every day as much as i try to ignore it.
Anyway sorry for going on...but wanted to let you know your rant is warranted and i don't blame you hun. Those people need to get a life of their own. I am all for a natural birth as possible but everyone of us needs to have choice and the power to choose what we want...that is what you are entitled to hun and it has nothing to do with them.
Off my soap box...and sorry for typos...i am notorious for them. I am just so queasy these days i never go back and check my posts...in and out at the moment. Take care all and BIG BELLY RUBS TO ALL.. (i did try and mention all of you at one stage when i first cam in there but there are so many and i taking a bit of pressure off me.)- sorry. Thanks to all for your well wishes and sending you some back!
LOL
HM xoxo
I didn't even think about my bum - thought about everything else tearing - yikes!!!
Bel - sending lots of prayers to you and the bubs. I know nothing will stop the worrying but there is comfort in your FS being there and seeing the reason for it. Lots of prayers and good thoughts to you. Take care.
LNB
Bel - :hug: sweetie I had the big bleed at 10 weeks
Hey Bel - rest up and try not to stress. It sounds like a perfectly good explanation your Dr has given you. I'm sure it doesn't make you any less concerned, but at least there is a reason and both the babies are still looking strong.
Hi Gals,
Sorry its been ages, but so hard at times to keep up. M/s and work doesnt make it any easier. Thankfully am finding if get a really good nights sleep (like at least 8 hours) the m/s aint so bad. Have had a cold too and mucous building up in my chest which when it comes up (sorry if TMI) makes me gag and chuck. (I have always suffered from chest infections but never has it made me throw up), I think am just extra sensitive cause of the queasiness. Have had a cough for over a week and cause am not taking anything it doesnt seem to be going away.
Anway other than that all is well. Cant believe am 10 weeks. We saw C&C at our scan on Thurs and their hearts were beating nice and strong. One of them was bopping around and moving its little stump arms (so called it our dancer girl), the other one was chillaxing and probably having a siesta (so like my DH who loves his).
Our FS/OB reckons it will be best to have a CS as more risk with twins, especially the 2nd twin when VB'ing. I think I am OK with that as I just want what's best for the bubs. And from speaking to people who have had CS's they say that its not that bad and although hard at first. Its more about being mentally prepared for it.
Bel ... so sorry to hear you are bleeding. Am glad that your bubs are doing well though! Hang in hun!
Pink - welcome!
To every1 else - :bellyrubs:
Mon :)
Hi everyone
Bel: i am so so soryy you are having a hard time its really not fair after all youve been through! It sounds like the bubs are doing really good though and thats most important (doesnt help you stop stressing though) sending huge cyber hugs and loads of snuggling in vibes.
HP: Thanks for the supportive words, really have to stop being so senstitive!
Mon: yay to C&C thats awesome, they say with twins one is always really busy and the other is mellow!
Nixon: sorry i dont want to scare you. sorry prob TMI but i want to explain so hopefully you wont worry! My birth with DS was induced, i also had an epidual, he was posterier, i had an episotomy and gave birth lying on back, all very big risk factors for really bad tears. I also have a very short perineal area which is also a big risk factor! I was very keen to have a VB and researched alot so if you want to avoid tearing there is lots you can do. The main things being:
-dont give birth on your back stay as active as poss and try all fours or sometimes squatting
- dont have an epistomy, the analgy was put to me of trying to rip a towel, if you snip it first tis going to tear alot easier, if an episotomy has to be done it must be last minute when the skin is at its very thinnest.
-there is a method where you breathe the baby out rather than hard pushing, maybe someone else can help with the name but that is good and water birthing or staying in water till your ready to give birth softens the skin.
Also there is the perineal massage but i think the jury is still out on that one ! My BF took evening primose all the way through her pregnancy and didnt tear so that may help too. But i think the best thing is to be really educated about your birth and know whats going on. Hope that helps. and sorry for scarying you.
