I hope that in only a short time u both will be back here..
All my love HPL xxx
This is a bit of a weird one. Anyone had a discharge that looked a bit like snot? (sorry if that's TMI) It's definitely a yellow in colour, not brown or red. I don't seem to have any sign of infection and I'm worried it could be a sign of the mucus plug disintegrating. I'm very concerned as of yesterday my breasts no longer hurt and I don't feel sick anymore. After having two missed miscarriages I think this could be another.
Milly and Possum, I am soooo sorry to read of your losses. My heart is breaking for you both. I really hope you both have good news again really soon.
SammyP - I've had lots of that this pregnancy, don't worry
Glad to hear the rest of you are doing well (aside from some M/S and unsympathetic hubbys) and have been having good scans and bloodwork.
Haven't been able to get on much lately as our computer finally bit it. (I'm on hubby's work laptop). Plodding along and really looking forward to being done. I'm soooooo tired these days I don't know how I'm functioning. My SPD is getting worse every day too and by bedtime I can barley move. On the bright side my M/S has finally let up (lol with 3 weeks to go) but now I have trouble eating because there is just no room in there anymore. My 2.5 year old can eat more than me! Dr wasn't too thrilled with me as I've only gained 2lbs this PG but since I have a bit extra to spare he wasn't too worried. We Just started bathroom renos so hopefully they will be done by the time I go into labour, I really want a tub in time!! Thankfully my DH has been really great lately and is letting me get as much rest as possible (he's taken on extra housework and entertaining DH).
Hope you all continue to do well, I don't want to read any more bad news, just good news :)
Milly - i'm so sorry to hear your news. Life can be so painful sometimes but i honestly believe everything happens for a reason and i hope a beautiful blessing comes your way soon.
hi girls i have a question, i am certain i have an infection either UTI or something, and a doctor yesterday wouldnt check to see, today i had some burning, but i cant be certain but maybe a slight tinge in my cm of blood, i cant be 100% it was to hard to make out, but has me worried, should i just wait this out, or go to hospital and get treatment, how bad can a UTI be if left untreated or should i wait until next week and get in with another doctor. im so upset that doctor didnt listen to me, i have been taking cranberry tablets but down their is alot dryer feeling even thou i have alot of cm from pregnancy.
This happens to me each pregnancy. I have had it checked out before and all is ok!:
Oh i felt sore just reading your post. So glad that you only have 3 or so weeks left! Pity the MS has stuck around so long. I bet you have a lovely big feed in those first few days after bubs is born! Happy birthing!:
Thats is really annoying that the Dr didnt listen to you! I am no Dr but you shouldnt wait another week. At the moment you probably have a simply bladder infection, if left untreated you could end up in a lot more pain and kidney trouble. BUT there is an easy answer. YOur Chemist. No one ever thinks of them but they have almost as much training as a GP, they are free and they know what they are talking about when it comes to medicines! I am a nurse and i always try them 1st before the GP and you really dont need to go to hospital for something so simple. Good luck and i hope ive helped.:
AFM: Nothing to report really LOL. Went to a cooking class today. Was a lot of fun. Starting to get that nice heavy feel in the tummy now and know it wont be long before i feel bubs move! I cant wait!
Hope you are all well!
M04, Dory, MillyD, Ashie, Iona Macca, Tegam, MurrayCod, Kitfaerie, SammyP, Angelfish, Ric, HPL, Twin Sister and anyone i missed: I had to thank you all personally for writing such lovely supportive posts. It means a lot to me. I'm doing ok: sad but accepting that it has happened and trying to tell myself i will still have a baby, just a few months later than i thought. I think in some ways though that it hasn't sunk in yet; right now i'm distracted just by dealing with physical side of the m/c itself.
MillyD: very sad to see that you have lost your baby too. You have been through so much this year. I am thinking of you.
I'll keep popping in to see how everyone's doing sometimes and hope to be back here again in future.
thanks tegam im going their tomorrow for some ural so fingers crossed it helps!
possum- once again im so sorry hun, i know it must be hard but we are here to listen if you ever need it xxx
afm- doing alright tonight done nothing but relaxed tonight which is good, but cant keep my feet up for ages two little boys keep me on my toes! dh has been such a trooper, he tells me that this baby will stay, and says with the m/s you've had today little will want to hang around and give you grief lol, which is true only ate one meal today which was dinner earlier today been very gaggy lol keep a drink close by cause it would hit without warning, thank god i havent actually thrown up yet i've come so close so many times but my drink is still keeping it at bay. hopefully having some waffles tonight i really would like one or two lol.
ashie- I have the same thing were your not getting sick but the feeling is there for me its basically there all day. But on the other hand i dont mind it becosue to me its a good sign last time i hade no m/s or light headedness.
afm i am trying to have a quiet weekend becosue the two monsters come here and trying to get some cleaning done. Its suppost to be 98 degrees here this coming week so i am hidding even more with the ac
Ashie - your dr didn't do a urine test? Seriously? They can do one in office in literally seconds with a dipstick to look for blood and white blood cells. What a complete moron! I would definately get it checked as left untreated they are REALLY painful.
Tegam - thanks :) I'm so miserable right now I just can't wait to be done. Oooh cooking class sounds fun, what did you guys make?
Possum - It's nice to hear you sounding so positive. I hope you are ok and still positive once it really sinks in. You will most definately have a baby still, I hope it doesn't take too long and the next one is sticky.
angelfish- yep i have that feeling lol, on and off all day i start with a feeling in the throat and it gets worse throughout the day, fizzy drink has kept it at bay lmao! just a sip keeps me from further heaving and i havent actually sicked yet lol, been given tablets just in case it stops working as my good ob doc is hard to get an appt specially at a drop of a hat worse m/s yet, never had it this bad with boys! also i have no gas lol, only wind pains when i gots to go number twos lmao!
twin sister- i know i couldnt believe it either! it was cause it didnt burn at the time only burnt once or twice but i have had some pains near my kidneys and wanted it checked out, im going to complain to my ob when i see him 2nd aug its not on hey! chemist tomorrow for ural or what ever they would like me to take thats safe, i've been taking cranberry tablets too and keeping fluids up.
oh i am a huge horror movie fan, but one movie i really didnt like and now im certain ill have night mares lmao, im emotional too, watched a baby story on discovery health on foxtel and watching bubbas being born makes me cry, oh how it gets me eager that i am pregnant, and hopefully this one stays its my last baby im allowed to have so im not complaining about all the side effects im so happy about them lol, i am so grateful to this little one, also just above my c section scar its popped out already! its only the teeniest bit but you can feel it my sisters and mum and dh had a feel tonight they are so excited!
Possum - you are most welcome.... I am amazed you had the strength to drop in. Thinking of you and hoping to see you again soon ...hoping you don't have a missed m/c and your cycles come back quick smart. I meant to say any retention... sorry sweetie.
SammyP - heya - I know the other girls said it was ok for them, but I would err on the side of caution. If the discharge is different for you together with your other changes, theres no harm to get it checked out.
Ashie - can you go to another GP? I don't get UTI's but my friends say there's just so painful, so better to try and get rid of it. Pregnancy brings enough challenges - you don't need another.
Twinsis - 37 weeks - OMG girl that is very cool. How are you feeling about it all?
Hi to everyone else, sorry for the limited persies. Not much going on here.
Dory - I'm so done LOL. I'm so uncomfortable I'm constantly on the verge of tears. I so hope this baby comes a bit early.
Ashie - did you manage to get your UTI checked?
:lol: sorry you just sound so like a heavily pregnant women!:
twin sister- i went to the chemist yesterday got some ural and some cream for itching on outside, feeling 100% better today which is wonderful!
i am eagerly waiting for 5.30/6pm got more hcg level results and hoping their great numbers, i had a 6 day gap between bloods so should of gone up a bit hopefully! last results were 760 that was at 4w5days, had bloods taken on friday which was 5w4days. i am so hoping for some great numbers so nervous about it, also have u/s on friday yay! cant wait to see how little one is going and to see a heart beat!
ashie glad to hear that you got that problem taken care off and good luck with the bloods
afm i have relized that i am on this journey wihtout a partner but i know that i am strong enough to do it without him. He baled on his ex wife what would make me any different. I kinda of laugh at myself i was worried the other day when i had no ms for a night well she roared her ugly head yesterday and today all day yesterday.
angelfish- glad to hear your ms appeared again lol, i hope the path you pick will be the right one for you hunxxx
well got my hcg levels, at 4w5days 760, then 6 days later 5w4days they were 9550! i couldnt believe it they more than doubled lol, nice and high ( explains the ms lol) im over the moon! this little bubba is sticking, i've defently passed the weeks i usually m/c i am feeling more confident now! cant wait til feb i am so eager to go through this journey for the last time!
Ashie - Great rise in the levels. It's looking very positive for a sticky bubba this time.
Angelfish - With all of your recent posts it did seem as though you were unsupported by your partner. It's time for you to focus on yourself and your baby and do whatever you need to do take care of yourself and your little one. My MS is a bit up and down. It's been better this week but there has still been moments when I have had to go back to the couch and lie down for a while.
Possum - How are you doing sweetie? Its good to see you feeling positive about future baby which I am sure will be with you soon. MillyD and Iona, if you are lurking out there please know that I am still thinking of you and wishing you all the best for now and for your future plans.
AFM - I have my first OB appointment today. It's making me quite nervous as I don't know if they can hear a heartbeat at this point and if he tries and can't find one I don't know how I will cope.
Thinking of you Sammy, im sure all will go well!
good luck sammy, im sure everything will be great!
afm- the wind pain! i always get wind pain never had it with other pregnancys, and its driving me loopy, cause i keep thinking will i need to let wind go or will i have to go to the loo soon lmao! and my nipples this morning are sensitive! i've notice a teeny growth spurt with my bbs yay! i gave in last night and had a m/s tablet, i had not eaten all day was still sick and i was hungry i had to of eaten once so well worth the use lol, hoping today m/s will be good for me lol.
I'm sorry to enter this forum right now with me feeling like this. I'd decided to keep away and just let time pass and pretend to have a pregnancy without freaking out.
I'm so down and worried. Yesterday had the slightest bit of spotting and today a tiny bit more. Last night was AF type of feeling in lower abdomen.
The scariest part of all this is my mood. Yesterday at some time it dropped significantly, and I just can't pick myself up. Tried all the it's quite normal to have a bit of spotting....bla bla bla. You've just worked too hard over the last week, now you are catching up on some rest and your mind is recovering etc etc.
I just feel the worst is happening. I've booked mysef in for blood test tomorrow morning, to attempt for some reassurance.
It's just my mood. It's like my happy hormones just dropped so bad yesterday, and don't want to come back until they are good and ready.
The best hope I can give myself for right now is maybe both embryos had implanted and one has failed, and is causing all this.
I'm sorry if it's so innappropriate to share all this. Balling my eyes out at the moment.
aww hun i hope everything will be ok, i had break through bleeding with my second it scared the hell out of me, i had a gush of brown blood everywhere, now he's a healthy happy one year old. best getting hcg levels checked i did only last friday cause of certain pain i was having but everything was normal, i really hope its the same for you xxx
tthanks Ashie
Hi ladies,
I know I'm a bit late with this, (computer dramas again) but I just wanted to say to Possum and Millyd that I am so sorry for your losses. I am thinking of you both and hope that you are receiving lots of support right now. :hug:
Timeforafamily - Sweetie you poor thing. It's natural to feel this bad when something you want so dearly seems so problematic. Just try taking one day at a time. Many of us have been where you were with spotting and cramping and we are still here. I had some spotting early on and they think it is because there might have been more than one embryo and it failed so I think it is very likely something similar may have happened to you.
Well, I saw the OB. He didn't try to hear a heartbeat but he seemed pretty confident that things were ok. I have a scan in two weeks so I will have to wait till then to find out how bubs is doing. I told him how my scans gave a due date 10 days apart and he said that could just come down to measuring a baby at a slightly different angle to someone else so he had a feel and said he thought I was between 10 and a 11 weeks. Poor DH, my OB recommended no sex till after 16 weeks. Bet he wishes he hadn't said he was too tired last Monday.
Oh Hun, i found myself in here saying the same thing a few weeks ago. We think we are ok and then we arent! Thats what this place is for and everyone has been lovely to me. I hope we can support you through this time. Stay sticky babies!:
Hi Sammy, glad the OB appointment went well, im not suprised that he didnt try to get a HB. Its very unlikely and would probably have just stressed you out! 2 more weeks to wait seems like a long time but it will go quickly!:
Hey ladies... I'm still around. Just SO tired I can barely contribute, but I'm definitely still here! Love to all, hope you are all doing well.
Thanks Tegam and SammyP. Needed that.
SammyP – Hope you get well distracted for the next 2 weeks waiting for your u/s.
Ashie – Wow some great figures on the HCG 9550.
DH rang my GP for me and had a chat with him. They were right on target for support today. Rang the clinic and they will do HCG levels in the morning. The spotting has settled and my brief but massive depressive attack that lasted a whole 24 hours has now lifted. :doh:
sammyp i hope the two weeks fly by for you
timeforafamily- i wish you the best of luck.
AFM m/s has been gone most of the day today which once again has had me worried once again. I wish this worry would go away i have to wait till the end of the month to get another scan. what makes it hard is i just got over having a missed m/c i know that i am entering my 9th week and m/s can go down from what i have been told. I just can't wait for feb
Hi Angelfish - Just read you post. Dear dont worry, think about positive things. Don't be worried or scared, My Morning sickness- what little bit i had in first few weeks, eased-up by the end of 7th week and i went crazy as well, but it was all good, then i went for my u/s at 8 weeks and saw the bub and HB...I did mentioned this to my GP, she just said, its allright usually m/s start to ease-out for alot of people by 8-9th week, if you dont have any symptoms, its doesnt mean that something is wrong - just feel good and enjoy the moment.
why dont you ask your GP or Doc to refer your for another u/s before end of month, just for your peace of mind. I am sure she will refer you.
Take care and alots of hugs and babydust sending your way.
Ric
Hi everyone!
Dory: Was checking up on you on the other thread, glad everything was ok with your ob appointment! So happy your over 28 weeks!
Angelfish: Ahh the MS dilemma! At about 8-9 weeks for me it stopped being day and night constant and settled into ok in the mornings and hell in the afternoon/evenings, with a couple of good days a weekd. The first morning I woke up and felt ok, I got out of bed and was smiley and bouncy, then realised I didn't feel sick and cried the rest of the morning until I threw up in the afternoon. My doc also said lots of ppl start to lose it 8-9 weeks.
Audax: Yay your still around! Missed you honey, we'll be here when you feel up to it, give that belly some love!
SammyP: I hope the 2 weeks go quick, so glad everythings going well, belly rubs!
Ashie: Awesome numbers, your doing really well!
Timeforafamily: Take deep breaths, more than likely that everything will be ok, something that got me through some early bleeding was knowing that most pregnancies are totally fine, it can be hard to believe, but the odds are your bringing this bubba home.
AFM, everythings going well - I have a distinct little bump now! DH, bless his heart, was patting it and then proudly said ''I did that, with my penis.'' Well done dear, well done. I'm waiting for confirmation of a 16 weeks Ob appointment, and I'm thinking of maybe looking into getting a doula. MS has flared up for a few days, which was really reassuring, but I'm more than happy for it to start to leave on a more permanent basis! I have felt a bit more hungry lately though, wanting to eat food cos it's yummy and not just as a way of avoiding nausea. Is anyone else getting, or remember getting stretching/crampy feelings around this time? I figure it's just cos Tiger's growing, but, still....
Hope everyone is doing well, love!
What a clever husband you have :rofl: The penis really does stay a wonder to them for all their lives doesnt it? :lol::
kitfaerie- ROFLMAO! oh you've cheered me up! i told dh and he said well our package is less complicated then yours, then i thought hmm the tricks they can do ;)
afm- ooh bad m/s all day! even took a ms tablet to help me keep my lunch down nope, been struggling all arvo! tried to have a nap DS2 went to sleep but DS1 he never naps! im so exhausted after the poopie sleep i had last night and now the m/s! but still happy thou, this little one is doing so well, only 2 more sleeps then ill be able to see him/her on screen!
Kit - i had that stretchy cramping pain too around 11-12 weeks with my first pregnancy. My doctor said it was just all the ligaments stretching and was quite common and nothing to worry about. I mainly got it if i sneezed, coughed or moved too quickly. It only lasted about a week.
I'm and trying to count down the days until my next scan - only 7 days to go. I am really opening they can see a little heart beat this time.
Thinking of you all.
Kit i had those stretching pains too early on in my pregnancy, probably was around about the stage your at now. Of course i freaked out and thought the worst but my dr reassured me that it was very normal and it was just bubs growing and stretching my tummy. :ROFL: at your DH's comment, it sounds similar to something my DP would say, they think they are so clever :LOL:
Hoping not long to go, hopefully the next 7 days will fly by and you get to see a nice strong heartbeat.
Ashie YUK to the ms, hopefully it doesnt hang around for too long for you. Good luck with your scan in a couple of days :)
Hello to everyone else i have missed.
Sorry i dont get in all that often to post, im lurking every day and following whats going on but generally just dont have the time or the energy to post. Hopefully ill be able to a bit more when my maternity leave starts in 2 1/2 weeks. Counting down, cant wait
Elise - wow - can't believe your mat leave is almost here! You will be so relieved. Looking forward to seeing you in here more often.
Kit - I had aching hips and knees from about 7/8 weeks and stretchy/crampy feelings from about the same time, but usually if I moved too quickly. I still get all of them. Like Elise and others have said, it's normal and a part of the process. It's primarily the relaxin hormone loosening up those tendons and ligaments. My Obs said it starts to have effect from 6 weeks but most people can't feel them then. In fact I had an episode that so was bad the other day, I had to pant my way through it. It didn't last long and it came on when I tried to move too quickly.
Also I am laughing at your DH - hilarious. Penis' rule the world apparently! The other thing he can be proud of is it's his sperm that decide the gender of the baby! How is it that they get the say in that? And how weird is it that there are, in really simple language, girl and boy sperm.
Good luck to those who are having scans coming up - how exciting and anxiety provoking at the same time. Hopefully the M/S passes soon for those who are suffering. it's not pleasant. Mine eased at 11 weeks, but some mild nausea has returned. But it's only mild. I have had my 1 hour glucose tolerance test and the results were slightly elevated so its off for the 2 hour fasting and special diet test for me next week. I hate waiting in the waiting room... wonder if I'll get a leave pass?
The baby cat goes in for his treatment next friday and I will be without him for 3 weeks. I am not looking forward to it and will be a mess when I drop him off. But hopefully the 3 weeks will be over before I know it and he'll be home and snuggling with me again.
All good with my scare earlier this week, not amniotic fluid! Phew. My Obs as usual was wonderfully understanding and compassionate and non judgmental and encouraged me to call if ANYTHING worried me.
Take care and belly rubs too all. Sorry for the lack of persies. Just feeling a bit quiet.
Kit that is hilarious! Toooooo funny! I hope you patted him on the head and said "well done"
My scan is on Tuesday. I was meant to have a hospy appt today, but stuffed up the date and got the afternoon off work yesterday :doh: so I tookt eh arvo anyway and pushed the appt back by two weeks. I'm really nervous about the scan, although it's eased off a bit today because I've had lots of movement.
I've got 3 weeks and one day left of full time work, then cut back to casual work as I fancy (I don't think I'll fancy much :lol:) Full time is definitely a struggle right now!
