Yesterday I had a bit of spotting. It's been two and a half weeks since AF started (my first one since birth) so i thought maybe it was implantation bleeding, but today it was quite heavy, almost like AF starting again, though it seems way too soon.
Did anyone else have weird bleeding after births? It's been almost 10 weeks since I gave birth and I thought the hormonal bleeding was over... Have been really upset because I was doing OPTs all last week and never seemed to ovulate. I really want to be pregnant again but am feeling pessimistic now.
Rozzie - sorry I am of no help to you about the bleeding. I would suggest you call your Dr and ask what they think - it doesn't hurt to ask for their opinion.
Hgirs - glad to hear AF has arrived. I hope your cycle evens out for you. Well done on covering everyone.
Tempus - so glad to see you back. I hope your FS can offer some other options that suit you more.
Jo - good luck with the scan this week. I know this week will be difficult but hopefully the scan will help you move past this milestone.
Jen - sorry AF showed her ugly face. Hopefully this cycle will bring some good results.
Hammi - I second what everyone has said - the receptionist had no right to brush you off like that. Sometimes I think Obs and their offices are more equipped to deal with live babies and fall short in the support they offer to mothers of angels. I am lucky this time around to have a better Ob who understands the heartbreak. I really think you need to insist that they chase the results - or else ask them for the contact details and do it yourself. You have the right to know what the results are and shouldn't have to wait that long.
As for me - as asked by Hgirs yes I am glad to move past 20 weeks. I had a scan on Friday and it was a good result again. In face the scans seeem to get a bit easier each week. I have to wait until the 15th now until next scan as my Ob is on holidays. I am going to try and not freak out and trust that all is well. The hard thing is I have been sick and I started to feel better on Sat, but I woke up yesterday morning at 5am feeling sick and then it just got worse. I thought it was indigestion but I ended up vomiting (TMI) and then felt sick and nauseous for the rest of the day. I was finally able to eat some dry crackers last night. I don't feel nauseous today but headachey etc which is how I felt last week - so I am now having Day 4 off work! I am going to the GP this morning. Whilst I know this can't effect the baby, it is hard not to let it worry me. I will just wait to feel the baby move and hopefully that will give me a boost.
Thank you for all your advice and support. I faxed a letter to the ob's office asking them to send my GP the hospital details so she can chase for me. I also said that while it's a matter of paperwork for everyone else, this is about my much loved and dearly missed baby.... miracles of miracles, I got a phone call that very morning. The receptionist was all sorry and said she just called the hospital again and they said one more month. I'll believe it when I see it but I felt better writing that letter (I'm a wuss and prefer to write instead of talk).
Katie, did you have morning sickness in your first trimester? I don't remember you saying you did except for being tired. Do you think what you have is morning sicknesss or a bug? I hope you feel better soon. As if it's not enough that you have to live without a scan for two weeks. You don't need to be feeling sick at the same time. I'm so glad you're now past 20wks. Half way there!
Jen, boooooooo hisssss to AF again. Who invited her!
Rozzie, I think the bleeding is one of those wait and see things. Is it fresh blood or brown? Your hormones could still be a bit all over the place since you only recently delivered your baby. Hopefully it will settle and give you a regular cycle.
Helen, the first AF after your baby is bittersweet isn't it? A good sign that your body is returning to normal but when I had mine it was like someone slapped me across the face with a big NOT PREGNANT sign.
Sue, I've never had implantation bleeding so I'm not sure if that's what you're having but... fingers crossed!
Hi Jo, remember to tell us about your scan this week... when do you think you'll put a ticker up?
Hi Hammi - no I did not have morning sickness besides the occasional wave of nausea. So yesterday was a bad surprise. I have been to the GP and he thinks it is just a bug and I need to rest up. I pushed myself on Sat cleaning the house and cooking for our friends who came to stay with their 2 children. So I paid for it yesterday. I have told work I won't be working tomorrow and will rest up. I also bought some Gaviscon today to help with the indigestion and excessive burping! Charming.
Well it's definitely AF... only two and a half weeks after the last one. This one is a proper one though so maybe that's good. I hope it's temporary though, if I have a 2.5 week cycle I will never get pregnant!!!
Hammi- I can't believe the autopsy results take so long, I'm in Canberra and I had mine within 6 weeks for my check-up. I hope you have some luck chasing them up.
