    Cherished - I'm sure you know what I'm going to say, but blood doesn't mean the end, several of us here are proof of that. But I know how scary it is Have you had any more BT's done at all? Can you have another one done today at all so you don't have to stress for the rest of the weekend?

    I know this is not a lot of help but make sure you chase up your dr, or go to hospy and get them to see you OK? And take it easy too Will be that your little one is OK xo

    Thanks Megsmum, I know it doesn't always mean the end but it is very scary I have an appointment to have a bt next wed. The blood started at 7:45 (when I saw it anyway) since then I have checked twice and am still wiping what is red/brown blood in more of an amount than spotting it's only just hitting my liner though and what I can see on the liner is brown so I guess it is still technically spotting rather than bleeding which is good. I have got ever so slightly cramps which aren't really painful. Can't see my OB (I don't think) and at $300 a pop I don't know if I want to go there just to be told there is a problem... If it's something bad than it's already started so I will know soon enough... Plus it's a public holiday on Monday so I can't even call, I'll just wait until the bt Wed and pray it is all ok I'm officially doing nothing now! I took my time and vacuumed than unpacked the dishwasher... Than I ducked down the street to pick out some movies and buy some chocie biscuts and now I will be on the couch until work on Tuesday, where I will sit on my bum again. I have at least stopped crying.

    Megsmum - They certainly are cute with what they come out with, Matthew said to me on the way to preschool "Mummy we`ll have to buy the baby a birthday cake but he will not know how to blow the candles out so I`ll have to show him" That was just way too cute Yes the midwives did look after me well at NPH and Dr Lowe is just fabulous, I`m going into this c/sec knowing exactly what`s happening etc, such a lovely OB he is, wish I had gone to him right in the beginning with #1.

    Cherised - hugs hun, I had bleeding with this bub from just under 5 weeks till 11 weeks, I came on a wekly basis and at times it was so heavy I was soaking pads, seeing blood is very scary but I hope all is well and bubs is tucked nicely in there.

    Zachary`s mom - Sorry to hear you`ve had a bad case of the flu, rest up hun and I hope your much better really soon.

    Karen - not long now till you finish up teaching.

    Thank you girls

    11 more sleeps to go I still have this head cold, making it so hard to sleep, now along with Matthew and myself Adrian is getting it, so glad baby boy is where he is atm although I`m getting so uncomfortable he`s in the best place away from these cold viruses we have in the house.

    Hi All,

    Well I have just read through all the recent posts but dont have pen or paper and my memory is like a sieve at the moment. What I do remember is a few of you are having girsl - yaya girls clothes are so cute.

    I also note a few of you are very close to popping so I pary all goes well for you

    There also a few of you that aren't have the greatest of times at the moment - Cherish - Hang there - it will all work out.

    Hugs all round

    AFM - Saw the doc and all is going well - 25 weeks now. Bub is very active at the moment which is very cool. Still very tired and would love to go to bed now but would be awake in the wee hours of the morning. Took another belly shot this morning and I have certainly grown over the past 4 weeks - belly huge so I had to buy more clothes. Speak to you soon

    Cherished Any bleeding is so scary. I know how you feel about not wanting to go to the ob. It's not like they can change the outcome at this stage anyway. Sounds like you're doing all the right things by taking it easy. I know you know this, but wanted to say it again anyway. Spotting doesn't mean it's all over. I had a really heavy, red bleed for 2 days, with clots as big as my palm, but things are still going ok. thinking of you and Tiger, and hope you don't have any more bleeding.

    Congratulations Jenushka!! Well done and welcome to Lila!

    Karen Van Just over 4 weeks till you finish work! How does DD feel about the little brother/sister on the way? How long did you wait till you told her?

    Therese That does sound scary. Glad that you're feeling better and that bub is doing well.

    Greenslw So you've had someone guess that you're UTD already! Bet that took you by surprise. Why will your exit from work be messy? I think mine will be messy too. I signed a contract to work there till the end of the year, but I'm due late in Nov, and HAVE to be there till my project finishes in end of Oct. I just hope bubs doesn't come a month early.

    WTH Glad that you've had no more scary CM.

    Meredith Maybe as you reach the 30s it will be easier to relax and enjoy your pg? Hang in there Upsy Daisy xo

    Deejoy Very exciting! Do you think your little man is going to arrive early, late, on time-ish?

    Lee Are you out there? I hope you're feeling better. I know your kids are probably keeping you busy too, but hope you can get on here soon and tell us how you're going. xo

    AFM I was excited to buy my first maternity item yesterday. Elastic waist jeans! I was dreading this as a start to frumpy-mum-clothing, but elastic waist jeans are brilliant! I can't believe that PG women have been keeping this secret for so long! I don't understand why everyone doesn't wear them. Took all the pain out of jeans shopping, cos the first pair I tried on, fit! Sorry about being so excited about something so frivoulous.

    Hello to anyone I missed. HOpe you're all having lovely weekends.

    Pash OMG that must have been horrifying with clots that size! Your story is very reassuring for me!

    Easha thanks enjoy your shopping!

    AFM It's a bit heavier today and red so I'm off to the ER when dh wakes up. I'm not in pain and I think everything is fine however it's a great reason to get a scan and to have my HCG checked today... I've read you can't always see a heartbeat at 6 weeks but gee it'd be so exciting if there was one!!! I have an appointment on wed to see my GP for the HCG levels and I wasn't seeing my OB until June 22nd for an 8 weeks scan... So I'll be jumping the cue today and having a check. I pray it is all ok

    Cherished - aghhh bleeding is so horrid in pg. I am the QUEEN of pg bleeding and i can certainly reassure that it is not always the end. This pg i bled continuously from 5-16wks with bouts of extremely heavy clotting etc.This baby even stuck it out through the m/c of her twin so some of them can be very tough indeed.
    I do think a trip to the ER is warranted. At least you will know whats going on. You certainly may see a HB even at 6wks. I have seen 4 of my babies' HB's clearly at 5w6d

    Cherished - very sorry to read your sad news, it's devastating to loose a much wanted bub. Be kind to yourself, and take things easy for a while. There are a number of us in here with multiple losses - and I swear that eventually we will all get that much longed for baby. I hope your next pregnancy is the one. Hope you have someone looking after you

    Pash - hi girl - thanks for checking on me. I'm so happy things are progressing well for you - and good for you buying those maternity jeans. You're a trendsetter!!! I have a confession - I've kept wearing this denim maternity skirt I had with Remy - just cos it's so comfortable. How have you been feeling? It's all good, and by god you deserve it!! By the way - are you finding out if you're carrying a hot dog or a cheeseburger at your next scan!

    Meredith - How you doing? Good to see your ticker past the halfway mark. What a ride it's been for you. Not that long now hun. And congrats on having a pink one - just lovely!!

    Hi to everyone else - sorry but will try to get to know everyone in here as I go.

    AFM - Symptoms still running rampant. So tired, and the nausea has STILL not left the building, but I'm hoping for brighter days ahead. Thank god dd1 still enjoys day sleeps, I've been joining her! Have my nuchal scan this Thursday - and for those of you who know me - it's a bit of a scary one for me - so I'll be very glad to get it out of the way, and praying for a low risk good result.

    BB again soon.

    Lee xo
