Morning ladies!
You might know that I posted yesterday about some brown spotting I was having, after having stomach pains on Monday night.
Well, first of all, I called NHS Direct; they told me to ring my m/w. So, I spoke to my m/w (who is lovely, btw!) and she said that everything was probably fine, but that I could ring the hospital just in case...
I rang the hospital, and was told that "bleeding in pregnancy is not normal, but not to worry unduly..!" Yeah, right! Easier said than done. The m/w at the hospital said to call back today at 8:30am, and speak to someone in EPU.
I was freaking out by this point. I've not had a lot of symptoms since my bfp, and one of my friends went for her first scan a while back, only to find that her baby had died This is something that has worried me, ever since it happened to my friend.
So, I called a private scan company - and they managed to fit me in last night, and...
Everything is absolutely fine! It was the best experience ever, and the best £100 I've ever spent (well, that I've ever taken out of my overdraft!)
We saw and heard baby's hb, and we saw him/her jump and move around. It was just amazing
And... the sonographer moved me on a few days, so I'm now 11 + 1.
I've never been so happy in my life!
Just wanted to share, and hopefully give some reassurance to ladies who've had spotting/no symptoms.

I'm so glad it all worked out well! Thanks for sharing xo

aww so happy it was all okay for you xxx

Thats great news hun, so glad everything is fine with ur little bambino xxx

I'm a firm believer in private scans if you can afford them. We had one done at 10+ wks to check on bub and it was the best money i have ever spent. Whwn you're worried nothing can put your mind at rest other than seeing your baby happy and healthy on screen! xxx

Aww thats amazing news, im so pleased for you.. and its also very reassuring for ladies that may be going through the same xx

so happy everything went fine

So happy for you!
