Milly...I'm so sorry you're going through this, I can understand why you're so scared, I just hope you have some good news tomorrow. I had a missed mc so I'm not sure with the bleeding. I know some have had some positive news even with bleeding.. But some that haven't been successful...is it bright red blood? Hope you have some support !!! Hugs
With dd 2 I had some spotting but it was old brown blood
Milly- FX for sticky bub. My friend is still pregnant abd they have no idea why the bleeding, she still gets some spotting but bub is fine. I have a few issues that may cause bub to come early so OB wants me to express in case. I recon she'll end up stubborn and late ;-)
Melster- I'm a cow lol. Yay for just the once, hope the trend continues.
AFM- Not so much tonight but that's to be expected. Wont have a regular supply for a while yet. I knew that before I started expressing as some days/nights I leak and others I don't. I'll end up waking totally drenched as I get further along, always have in pregnancy and it only gets worse after haha. I started sleeping without breastpads to help increase supple when feeding DS2 which really does work. Sure my sheets and sometimes pillow and blanket would get wet but I had a materess protector so didn't care about the extra washing, just enjoyed the extra supply. Also used to use milk cups instead of pads while feeding and expressing to catch the extra so it didn't go to waste and to encourage it to flow A lil concerned with bub's movements but I think it is just from her current position and size. Done a lot today (almost all upstairs) and downstairs is feeling very tender, still getting ctx and think I should check tonight when I have my shower to make sure there hasn't been any progression as I "feel" like there may be. Unlikely to be much if I have though as I was progressing from 24 weeks with DS2
Good luck today milly, I hope you get some good news. How far along are you?
I've been having a lot of warm cramping all week, I keep telling myself it's everything stretching & growing but it's making me nervous. It's very much like period pain & I find laying on my side with my legs pulled up to be the most comfortable. I have my 1st midwife appointment on Tuesday so will try to keep the fear at bay until then. Hopefully one day I can go to the loo without checking for bleeding.
14 weeks as of yesterday, yay!
Ticktoc- lt is quite normal for most to get those pains at your gestation
AFM- Today is a day all I want to do is cry and let everyone know how much pain I am in! I am pretty sure bub has gone posterior and OMG the agony! It takes my breathe away at times, especially if I try to move. Seriously considering keeping DS1 home today but that makes me feel like such a horrible Mum, that I should be able to just suck it up and make sure he gets to school but I can't get up out of bed to dress myself let alone the boys. DS1 also can help himself and DS2 to food (cerial, milk, fruit, crackers, sandwiches, etc) so I know I don't have to stress about them eating and they have the TV on (likely also making a mess but IDC) and DS2 comes for cuddles and then runs back off to play. Seems like the best thing to do for me is to keep them here but the guilt that he should be at school... I do have school activities we can do here once I can move (if I can move at all today) as we used to do homeschooling and I have enough appropriate material to last till year 2 (he is in preprimary). What should I do?
Hugs damprye - sounds like you need a day of bed rest. One day off school in front of the tv isn't going to cause harm, it would be a treat in my house! Please rest & look after yourself - is there anyone who can came give you a hand or run to the shops for anything you need?
Yeah I'm just staying where I am amid my mountains of pillows, blankets and doonas in a bid to try and find a somewhat less painful position. I'm frustrated and relieved that "down there" doesn't seem to really be progressing. On one hand, I'd like there to be a valid reason for all this pain (IU is stupid and annoying and noone that isn't going through it understands and just thinks you're a whingy pregnant woman trying to get out of doing anything (aka lazy and attention seeking), whereas actual progression they are like "oh no, you need to rest and keep that baby in". On the other hand, no way do I want progression as she needs to stay in and bake for longer. There is a small change, about half a cm but change like that is quite normal for me, up until 4cm and I'm about 1.5cm with plug and it's where it should be, high, medium firmness and posterior. So good for bub which I am glad about but FMD do I really have to be in so much pain when there is nothing life threatening going on?!
Had to do a hospital run today after child got me good in the stomach this morning. Waiting for my AntiD, had bloods done and trace. 5 erratic ctx in 15mins and possible internal bleeding. Go home today after I get my antiD, come back tomorrow for further monitoring, test results and possible extra antiD. Bub is moving, got very active when on the ctg after a while, I think she had enough of the ctx and so started fighting back lol. Had to wait to turn it off as she didn't want to stop moving and they needed to see her hr decelerate again before turning it off. So she seems pretty happy and healthy in there at least And I can deal with the pain as it isn't as bad as yesterday when it was determined to be a pain in the back so hey, if I can get through that and if I can actually move today then I'm pretty happy, annoyed at the pains and lack of sleep (bad night with DS2) but happy that all is rather well and less pain
I'm here Mel, just stalking in the background waiting for someone to post lol.
I'm good, feeling fat & looking frumpy. Have to keep reminding myself that I'm pregnant & not eating my way out of my clothes.
Have my first midwife appt tomorrow. Have noticed a direct relation between my anxiety levels & medical appointments, it's like I prepare for bad news every time I have to have a scan, dr appt etc. I'm hoping I get to hear babies HB tomorrow.
Anyone else floating around out there waiting for a post??
um Yes! I had an omg moment when I glanced sideways at the mirror as I have quite the popped tummy now. 22w still not feeling much with the anterior placenta but I have decided that what will be will be and I have no control. I am doing what I should etc.
Kbudgie some days the mirror is my friend but most of the time not at the moment lol. I have no shape (does well rounded count?) & my waist had disappeared. Geez it'll be good to actually look pregnant!
Just heard baby's HB at mw clinic, I got teary eyed again but she was lovely & said that I was allowed to be amazed. Am now booked in for my next mw clinic, two different physio sessions, child birth classes & 20 week scan - it's all happening!
Still haven't got the results for my nt scan, not happy, but the mw said she will chase it up for me.
Feeling pretty good today
Tick Toc.......im 30 weeks and i think i lost some weight but i cannot put on more than 3 kilos in the next 7 weeks...do you think i can do it LOL LOL......? i have always popped out early and looked pregnant so i was kinda lucky there...Not long and you'll look pregnant !!! So glad that everything is going well and that everythings happening....i was like you up until my 20 week scan and then i have relaxed......and its easier when you can feel the baby..
Kbudgie.....i love it when the belly pops out..
Me....well my heart burn is slightly better..been following the same routine and it seems to have helped...still getting braxtons but not as bad....im tired and finding it difficult to walk around now...feels like she is going to fall out...starting to stress about money and the name that i have picked for her...
A lil concerned with bub's movements but I think it is just from her current position and size. Done a lot today (almost all upstairs) and downstairs is feeling very tender, still getting ctx and think I should check tonight when I have my shower to make sure there hasn't been any progression as I "feel" like there may be.
