Alison- gosh what an ordeal, you poor thing, it really is awful to have to go through that :hug:
Tilygirl- so sorry you are having this stress, has the spotting stopped? :hug:
DG- best wishes for your scan xx
hi everyone and thanks fro the kind words x
Sorry i am still being high maintenence, but i feel like i am flipping out massively. I had an ok weekend, the spotting eventually tapered off and yesterday I basically had nothing. I was also feeling really nauseated and foul taste in my mouth all weekend so was happy to have some good symptoms. Today I woke up to more spotting, less than last week and still brown but also not very nauseous or anything else today. I know symptoms come and go but for frig's sake I just want to get through a day without having major stress. I have been crying this morning, why am I being punished like this, I'm only 6 1/2 weeks, how am I going to get through this?? I feel like i can't take anymore, and its only early days, I'm petrified every time I go to the toilet and I had a terrible dream last night that i was miscarrying.
To top it off my sister announced her pregnancy Sat night, and I am extremely happy for her but I can't talk excitedly about our pregnancies asI have no faith mine is going to make it.
Sorry to be a downer, just soooo stressed every second of the day
Hi just a quick one from me because Im feeling really, really sick, but I had my scan today at my obs office and my bubba is still alive and well, measuring 12w exactly! Im so relieved, but as my Dr said Im sill high risk for m/c. But for today all is well. Now onto the NT scan next week.
To all the mummies who are going through the awful, scary first trimester :grouphug:. I am always thinking of you.
Saffy my last pregnancy started off in a similar fashion to yours. I was spotting from 5 weeks onwards and then again from 15. Every time I would think it had stopped I would go to the loo and find more tiny bits of brown and that sickening feeling would begin all over again. I was fortunate to have a good FS who believed in making it easier on a stressed mother and the fortnightly scans in his office were such a sense of relief as he would find me the heartbeat. But the stress was very difficult to bear and it lasted most of the pregnancy. YOU WILL GET through it. You probably won't get to enjoy it as much as you deserve to because of the stress but you can bear it. Just make the most of the times you do get to see the heartbeat and know everything is ok - go shopping for baby afterwards and really have a good time because when you wake up the next day, you'll probably find another symptom, or lack of one, to concern you.
Saffy- I know how you feel! Every trip to the toilet I dread, not knowing what I will find. I know it's hard to stay positive (and I should take some of my own advice) but many people have spotting throught their pregnancy without it ending in the terrible things we congure up in our minds. Hang in there x
My spotting continues, Sorry TMI, it's brown and I had I tiny clot today that sent me in to a tiny panic at work. I am also having light cramping as well. If only I could be sedated for 8 months, I can't see how else I am going to get through this...
I had my levels taken yesterday and they are still not big numbers but my hcg has gone from 20 to 169, so doubling every 30 hrs. My prog is great at 189. I have another BT next Monday then a scan at 6w5d on the following Monday. I am worried with the low levels and spotting that this could be an ectopic but I will just have to wait until the scan to find out either way. That's one cause of things going wrong that I haven't had yet!
Hi Tilygirl - I hope everything is ok, I'm sure it is. My numbers were taking up to 72 hours to double and they were happy with that, some people just take off a little slower than others. Your progesterone is awesome, the highest mine ever got was 87 but I have a major deficiency and that was with supplements. It's probably just normal spotting, I'd say try not to worry but I spent every second of every day worrying ,have done for the last 12 months. I actually can't wait to take a break so I can feel normal and stress free for a while. I've been pregnant for most of this year, yet still nothing to show other than weight gain and heartache! I thought your numbers with an ectopic were unusually high but I could be wrong. Hey I'm with you, you start to think what can I have next, I had a subchorionic bleed with this one too, wonder what next time will bring me grr.
AFM - all booked in for my D&C tomorrow, I want it over with and I can't wait to stop feeling like ****e, I want a decent night's sleep and to not feel nauseous and terribly bloated for once! You can barely put up with it when it's going somewhere but having to suffer when it's not is just downright cruel.
DG - great news on your scan, sounds like a good sticky one, yay.
:hello: ladies
Just wanted to tgouch base with you all, sending you all sticky vibes
AFM: had a bit of a scare yesterday, had some maroon/brown blood at work went to the OB, he did an u/sound and baby was fine and he just said "if Im not worried you shouldnt worry" :dunno: no explanation.
Then at 1am went to the toilet and found red blood in my urine GREAT, rang around to try to find my OB (he's at a hospital other days he's at an office).
I rang the hospital in desperation and the nurse said its good that I had no pain and it wasnt too much blood but to speak to the OB when possible.
Finally got on to the secretary of my OB who said she spoke to the OB and he said to take it easy and if I was still concerned to go see him at the hospital tomorrow morning!
Serously, I was thinking how can everyone be SO blazey?!
I spoke to DH and thought I'd get another opinion and went to the GP, he said that it sounds like a little blood vessel in my bladder could have burst as the blood didnt sound like it was coming from the baby.
He settled my nerves and said that since I'm in the second trimester all is good with the baby and its unlikely to be m/c or problem like that but that obviously if it continues tomorrow to go see the OB. He was a LOT more helpful and said I should try to enjoy this time as I'm out of the "danger" part. He also explained they wouldnt be able to see where the blood was coming from if it was the vessel its too small to see through u/sound.
At the end of the day, he explained to me calmly and logically everything and understood I'm a first time mum so ofcourse i'd be worried.
Just wondering if any of you ladies have had this happen to you?
Its only a little BL now when I wipe....sorry if tmi
Alison - have been thinking of you today and hope you are doing as well as can be expected hunni xoxo
Mia- That would have been scary!! I have had blood in my urine before (not pregnant) and it has turned out ok.. Just keep an eye on it that it doesn't turn into a UTI..not to freak you out...
Tilygirl - hope the spotting has eased off for you sweetie.... Hun in regards to ectopic if you get serve pain in groin area or in your shoulder area go to hospital ... not meaning to frighten you just I have had one and its a pain I will never ever forget xxxx
DG - Awesome news on your scan babes
Everyone is having a tough time so sending lots of these :grouphug:
Alison - I doubt you'll check this thread anymore (understable!) but I hope all went as smoothly as possible today. I'm furious at the universe for you for the injustice of what you've been through. I hope you find a way to move forward and try again if that is what you feel is right :hug:
Mia - eek! You must have been a nervous wreck! Just like I was when I saw blood at 10 weeks. I'm so glad that baby looked great on the ultrasound and although it's frustrating, it's probably good that the ob couldn't see where it was coming from. I really hope it all clears up and you can start enjoying your pregnancy again! Do you plan on any more check ups before the 20 week scan?
tilygirl - I wish the evil spotting fairies would just leave the poor ladies of this thread alone!!!:angry: Your hcg rise sounds really good and your progesterone is fantastic! You must be really nervous for your scan, the wait must feel like forever :(
DG- so sorry you're still sick but congratulations on reaching the 12 week milestone and things looking great, so so happy for you :) Are you excited for the NT scan now?
Saffy - how are you doing now? I think of you often. Don't apologise for being stressed, it's natural. I don't think the stress will ever go. I still check for blood every toilet trip and have days I'm sure it's all over. But after each good scan and each milestone, the stress will reduce just a little. India's mum explained it beautifully.
Hi Yas, chepie, Maruschke - I hope things are calm!
AFM - well, the prospect of having 7 weeks with no scans was too much for me to bear so I bought a doppler. I really debated about whether it would make me more stressed. Verdict is currently undecided!!! The first 3 days I used it, I got the hb really easily, always in the same spot... BUT then I started stressing a bit about why the baby never moved and was always in the same spot:rolleyes: So this morning I couldn't find the hb at all (probably because the baby was moving) so felt slightly stressed about that, then found it easily tonight and felt better. It's really magical and comforting hearing it but I think I'm going to limit myself to using it only every few days! Has anyone else used one?
Alison - I hope all went ok yesterday and that you are finally getting some relief from the pg symptoms. Im thinking of you.
Mia - I would have freaked out if I saw blood. But if the Drs all think its ok then it probably is. I hope it doesnt turn into a UTI for you. Im so glad you have made it to 15w already!
Tilly & Saffy -Hugs, I hope everything is going ok with you both. Im hoping and praying for sticky bubbas for you both.
Yas - I hope all is progressing well!
Mich - Firstly, Im sooooo happy to see you are almost 15w! Woohoo!! I hope you are feeling more confident now about this pg. Ive never used a doppler. I think they are great for giving reassurance, but terrible if for some reason you cant find the h/b. Ive been wondering if I should get one, but my Obs told me just to come in to his office for a quick scan any time I feel worried, so I'll see how I go without for a while. As for the NT scan, yep Im nervous. Im not looking forward to it at all. I hate the lead up to the scan and that moment when they place the wand on your belly and you can bearly look at the screen. Of course it all changes once you see the magical h/b, but if you dont....
Chepie - 16w already!!! Yay!! I hope you are enjoying your pg now! Thanks for your lovely support.
AFM - Im 12w4d today and the most pg Ive been since having DS2! Yay!!. Still very sick of course but hoping it goes away soon.
DG- thats fantastic news, really pleased for you xx
Mia- scary, your naughty body shouldn't be giving you stress now you are past 12wks!! Hope all is ok, sounds like a UTI, they can be symptomless in pregnancy.
Mich-I use them all the time, but i am a midwife lol! I probably wouldn't recommend their use but I know people do.
Tilygirl- hugs to you, bl00dy spotting!!! i hate it! Hope things have settled??
hi chepie and special hugsto Alison x
afm- well after my meltdown on Monday I had cramps all day and spotting settled by yesterday and had good symptoms again. then just as I feel a bit confident, low and behold I had red spotting and cramping last night, whcih has now gone to brown again. Just rang the clinic and having a scan tomorrow with FS, but seriously, I'm pretty much resigned to miscarying now. SIGH. We are supposedto be going to Hamilton Island next Saturday which will probably have to cancel either way. I seriously always miscarry just before we are going on holiday, I am freaking sick of it. :wall:
Just a quick me post, I will come back later to read back and respond.
I am worried about an ectopic, I have had a dull constant ache all day like period pain but on my left side and my spotting is still there, pinky/brown, but hard to tell with the progesterone... I am 5w1d.
My mum had an ectopic rupture at 6w, she has a high pain threshold and just thought she was constipated until she started haemorrhaging.
Anyway, I have spoken with the receptionist at my FS and I am waiting for the FS to get back to me. I can't just wait until Monday for my next bloods then the Monday after that for the scan...
I will keep you posted.
I am glad I called them, it's funny being a nurse, I feel like I am over reacting, reading to much into my symptoms or bothering them, I don't know. Anyway, my FS was worried and I have to go in for a scan first thing tomorrow morning at 8am. She also wants me to fast incase I need theatre. My FS is in theatre all day tomorrow and will fit me in if it is ectopic. So glad I don't have to wait to know more on Monday.
Glad they are investigating, hope its not ectopic though hun xxx
tilygirl - I'm so sorry you have this added stress. You were right to call, although it's too early to find out much about baby, they should be able to see a sac! I'm hoping so hard for a good result for you :pray:
DG- most pregnant since you DS, that's fantastic :) Yeah, I'm not sure I'd recommend the doppler for nervous Nellies like us!! Since I've had success so far with it, I'm feeling more relaxed that baby is ok but I know this feeling could easily change if I have a few days I can't find the hb!
Saffy - you are having a hell of a time :( I understand why you believe it's a m/c and that you probably need to to protect your heart. But I really hope you get a wonderful surprise tomorrow and can still go on your birthday holiday :hug:
tilygirl and Saffy - will be stalking and hoping and stalking tomorrow.
Well, I'm bleeding :cry: I'll go for a scan tomorrow, but I know it's over. I just don't want another infection. I have really bad back pain too- exactly like period pain. Oh, and to top tonight off I had a massive fight with DH and I feel like our marriage is falling apart. Who the hell did I crap on in another life?? :cry:
Yas - Oh no. I hope you are wrong and its not all over. Thinking of you as you go in for your scan. I know how scary it is :comfort:
Tilly - Im so sorry you are going through this. I hope your scan went well and its not ectopic.:hug:
Saffy - What a tough time youve had. I hope your scan goes well today. :hug:
