I have internal bleeding inside my gestational and yolk sac, which is being monitored. Could go one way or another Ive been told - I just have to wait which is not massively reassuring.

So I went along to my bookin in with my m/w and done a sample for her, and as the title suggests, she said there's blood in it.

I have never had this before, and when I asked her what it could indicate, she pretty much blanked me, muttering something about posible infection but she couldnt say.

I have to give them another sample to send off to be examined, but wont get the results back for days and now I am really worried all over again.

Can anyone please help with this? Im losing my mind with this pregnancy, I feel so helpless.

A few years ago I had laser treatment on my cervix as I had abnormal cells. I've read in my pregnancy book that this can cause problems in 2nd tri as the cervix maybe too short and so start to open when the uterus becomes bigger, causing you to miscarry.

I'm not too worried about it as I know it can be checked out & if it is too short, stitches are put in until you're ready to give birth. I just wondered if there are any ladies out there that have had laser treatment on your cervix, and whether this did effect the pregnancy in any way? How is it monitored?

We had planned on waiting til after our scan next week but hubby's dad and step-mum were over from France and we wanted to tell them in person rather than over the phone and there was no way we were telling his family without telling mine. So they came to my parents' house for lunch and we told them all together. My wee daddy cried he was so happy and my gran just kept saying "I'm going to be a great gran!!" It was so nice to finally be able to speak to my mum about it all too although she'd guessed already.

We then went to have coffee with my sister and her boyfriend. My sister could barely contain herself as she'd already guessed too and apparently has been bending her boyfriend's ear about it for the past 2 weeks!! :rofl:

Then it was off to hubby's mum and step dad's for dinner and to tell them too.

But the last few weeks i have felt so rough i just havent had the energy to get up and get ready to go anywhere.

we get up i have a lie down, watch cbeebies and have something to eat, we go upstairs to get dressed, i have a lie down on the bed, we get dressed i have another lie down and this is pretty much how our day goes.

usually we have nice home cooked meals everynight but we have all lived on frozen food for the last few weeks, oh went shopping last week and asked what we needed, i said just get lots of pizzas, chicken nuggets and fishfinger and ham and cheese for sandwiches because thats all i can be bothered to cook! and lots of takeaways, it go so bad that last night my oh popped out to the shop and daisy said is daddy bringing back chinese food, when i said no she cried saying i want the man to bring my chinese food!


i was ok when i was having daisy cos robyn my dd1 was older and i lived opposite my mum n dad at the time so they looked after her a lot for me, but this time i live 100 miles away from my family, my mil is great but we havent actually told anyone that im pregnant yet and just think i have a bug thats going round, they must be thinkin wow that girl is really playing on this bug now what a hypocondriac!

oh is great aswell he cooks but only basic foods and cleans up but not to my standards!! and he keeps kids entertained etc but they just want mum sometimes.


i just feel like a really crappy mum and like my kids are being neglected,

I am newly pregnant with my second, (after M/C in August and several throughout the years) and I had my HCG tested. My results came back as "70" at 12 DPO. VERY newly pregnant. My doctor told me that the number was a little lower than she would normally like to see, but perhaps I was earlier in pregnancy than she thought. She's not my OB, just my family doctor. (I have to jump through hoops with insurance before I can see an OB.)
Does anybody have experience having their HCG levels tested or have some knowledge? I thought she would take another level at 48 hours, but she just said not to worry.

20 minutes of the two babies looking at each other while the mothers cooed at how cute they were interacting, and took photos.
Another 15 minutes of the pregnant one looking through the new baby photos recently taken.
A discussion on daily photo taking to see growth (which while I think is a cute idea, I really wasn't in the mood for). Baby clothes sales. Discussion about cute baby calendars you can make.
Dinner - with more discussion about babies.

More discussion about how cute the two babies were. Comparing the babies feet and body size.

And then everyone went home.

Firstly let me say HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to all that have had their magical :bfp:s. I hope you're all feeling well and have been blessed with super sticky beans.

Where to start?
I thought I had my ovulation dip in temp last weds (cd17) followed by a nice rise on cd18. At lunchtime thou I started light bleeding with quite a few small clots in it. By the evening the clots had got considerably less in number but (sorry tmi) there was definate patches of ew/jelly cm within the loss. For the last 3 days I've had brown spotting whilst all the time experiencing cramps and sore boobs. My GP suspected a water infection and gave me 3days of antibiotics, 2 down 1 to go, but still the cramps remain.
I must add at this point the brown spotting is quite common from around cd18/19 although never light bleeding with clots, cm and cramps with sore boobs.
It's the first month of charting my bbt so not really sure what to make of my chart at the mo, please feel free to take a peek.

I was just wondering if anybody had experienced the same thing and had gone on to get a :bfp:

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I'd love to hear what everybody thinks?

When I went to go to bed last night I noticed that there were two spots of brown blood in my underwear. Up until now, I've had nothing other than lots of clear CM. Well, I went to the bathroom and when I wiped there was a little bit more CM but it had the brown colour to it.

When I woke up this morning and went to the bathroom, my CM wasn't quite as brown but it's not really clear anymore.

I'm really worried because this is how my miscarriage started last time.

I've got a scan booked for Wednesday and an appointment with my obstetrician already booked for Monday. Do you think it's worth going in to the hospital or am I overreacting? ]]> Pregnancy - First Trimester Jessa http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76781-bleeding.html Very long post - but have to talk http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76777-very-long-post-but-have-talk.html Sat, 29 Nov 2008 10:57:20 GMT I have written this thread so many times and deleted it before posting.. I guess after last night I have to write it all down.

I don't expect any replies, but it's eating away at me and I really have to get it out.

OH and I have a wonderful set of friends. They are fun and loving and kind and we supprt each other through everything. OH has known them for a while (about 5 years) but we've only been seeing a lot of them in the past 1.5years I guess. Now we all see each other all of the time. They are part of the reason we decided to move 'south of the river'.

There are 3 couples (that includes OH and I) and 4 single people. Of the single people there is one girl in particular who is a constant nightmare.
Don't get me wrong, we all love her to bits, but she's a pain in the rear end at times, doesn't have a 'normal' filter on her mouth and is pretty much babysat by the rest of the group.

Just to put a bit of context in for you... we are all aged 30 to 39. This woman is 37.

So, she tends to come out with some really shocking things... usually when she's had a drink, but not always. For example - she's said to one of the girls in the group...'if you lost a few pounds, you'd look far more attractive'

We're kind of used to these flippant remarks and although I find them shocking, I'm constantly told by OH and the rest of the group that 'that's just what she's like' and 'we all know what she's like, you just get used to it after a while'.

This is really where my problem begins. She has said some really quite nasty things to me over the time I've known her and I'm finding it very hard to let it wash over me. To the point now where it's getting serious.
In the past she has said to me. 'You never make anything of yourself', and 'you always look like sh1t, why don't you make a bit of effort' (I do) and 'you're nothing but cold and unapproachable' (I have been told by lots of people that am trustworthy and they are glad to have me as a friend because they could tell me anything'.

Anyway, back around 4 weeks ago, we all went out for a friend's birthday. She arrived 4 hours late by which time we had all eaten and the kitchen was closed (it was a Sunday). She got annoyed saying 'is no-one eating with me then?' got herself a bottle of wine and drank the whole lot on an empty stomach. She got wasted.
She then proceeded to climb on me, keep pointing at my (by this point very sore) boobies, touch them, and squeeze them. Then the biting started. the more I tried to calm her down, the more she bit me (on the face) and climbed on me.
By the time we left the pub and found a black cab, I was quite upset and my boobies were really hurting. In the cab she continued to act this way until I got both of her hands, put them in her own lap and told her to 'fuck1ng pack it in, you're hurting me and it's not funny'. Just to say that I had been nicely asking her to stop all evening and everyone else just looked on and did nothing to help.

So that was that. Then 2 weeks ago, we went to see a friends' band play... by the time she met OH and I she was again, off her trolley. (It was just the three of us going out as a couple of others couldn't make it).
When I told her that I was 'ill' and wasn't drinking she said 'oh, you're so f*cking boring'.
The day after the gig, I planned to have the girls in the group around for Christmas card making. Whilst we were at the gig she says, I'm going to come later in the day, put some nice clothes on you, do some make-up and take some nice pictures of you because all of the pictures in your house are crap'. I told her that i didn't know what time people would stay until and maybe that would be best for another day. 'Don't fool yourself, everyone will leave early'. I tried to ignore her and kept telling her, 'we'll see what happens' but she kept pushing and pushing. In the end I said 'Would you stop bossing me around? I told you we'll bloody see what happens'.
To which she got all shitty, rolling her eyes etc.

I went over to speak to a friend leaving her and OH together chatting. When I saw she'd gone for a ciggie and left OH alone, I went back over and OH told me that she had said...

'When your and Pickle had your engagement / her 30th birthday party she told me that I wasn't allowed to dress up because she was the only one who was allowed to look pretty.'

I NEVER EVER, EVER said this. I am not that kind of person at all. she also told OH a few other lies about me, but it's turning into a long post!

In fact what happened was before our party, she said
'you can't go in black because you always wear black... I'll take you shopping so that you look the best out of everyone - it's your night - you should look the best'.
I said to her at the time,
'I already have an outfit, yes it is balck, but if I went wearing anything else, it wouldn't be me!'

Last night (the first time I've seen her since she stormed out of the gig) we went out for drinks for another mate's birthday. OH had to go out to another friends house for a poker night leaving me with all of our friends. anyway, as soon as he had gone, 2 of the girls in the group started talking to me about this girl... and it turns out that she has told them the same lies about me.

I am seriously heartbroken. I don't know what I've done. I don't know what else she's been saying about me. I've been crying all night as OH stayed out.

She making sound like a horrible person by spreading lies. I really don't need this right now and I'm at a loss of what to do.

Thanks and well done if you got this far... but I needed to get this out. It's making me so upset.
OH tells me to ignore her because 'that's just what she does' and one other friend in the group who I have spoken to about it says the same. No-one will help me and they just expect me to ignore it. I simply can't do that. :cry: ]]> Pregnancy - First Trimester LittlePickle http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76777-very-long-post-but-have-talk.html Baby Position http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76774-baby-position.html Sat, 29 Nov 2008 10:44:39 GMT I'm 9+1 and just wondering if anyone knows where abouts my baby would be in my stomach?

I'm currently 10w3d and just had a doctor's appointment. I was really hoping to hear the heartbeat but she tried for a minute or so without any luck. She said it was too early and I have another appointment in a few weeks to try again. I had a scan at 7w1d and saw the HB then (141 BPM). I've had no spotting or major cramping and the usual symptoms.

We'd like to tell people soon but I just don't know.. We're planning on sending the news in our annual Christmas letter (which will have to go out soon) but I'd hate to send it to everyone and then have something go wrong.

BTW, we've already told our immediate family so I'm talking about extended family and friends.

This morning when I got up I had a brown discharge on my knickers but not when I wiped. I also felt very dizzy.

I phoned the doc who got the mw to phone me and the mw ordered me to go straight to the hospital.
When I got there they said the pains I was having could have been an ectopic pregnancy and also a urine infection so they sent me for a scan.

My last period was 21st october making me 5 weeks and 4 days. They said the scan may not show anything.
They tried a normal ultrasound but then had to do an internal scan.
I was told that the sac was there and the fetal pole but no yolk. I was told I may be earlier in my pregnancy than what I thought. But I thought they always calculated how far on you are from the first date of your last period, am I wrong?

Has anyone ever had a scan at 5 weeks or before and what did they see.
Also I got told I have a cyst on my right ovary but was told it is nothing to worry about. I was aksed if I was coughing up phelgm which tonight I have. Does this maybe mean I am dehydrated which could be causing the pain?
Please help as my next scan is 11th dec and I am really worried. ]]> Pregnancy - First Trimester weebubbles http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76681-had-go-hospital-please-help.html <![CDATA[Maria's baby scan on Corrie!]]> http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76670-marias-baby-scan-corrie.html Fri, 28 Nov 2008 20:38:03 GMT I'm in tears.

2. Is it dangerous to my beanie?

I had my booking appointment today and midwife put me a 9w2d which I think is wrong. She used LMP which were really eratic as I just stopped pill and had pos ov 5 days after af started!

Anyway I had early scan due to pains and was 5w6d then which would make me 11w today.

I want to know if there's a chance I could be pregnant. I think there is, but I want to be sure. Because if there is, I need to make some changes. And fast. Here's the background story:

I went on birth control about a month after having my son. I was on it steadily until this past month, so I was on it for about 5 months. This month I went to get my prescription refilled and the pharmacy was closed. I had to wait until the next day where they told me that my insurance wouldn't cover it and the Medicaid system was down. So I had to wait two more days to get it and by that time, I would have had to take the pills in the pack until sunday and then get a new one. My pharmacy won't give me a new one though because it was not the end of the month. So I couldn't take my birth control this month and I can't start it again until I get my next period.

The Here and Now:
Needless to say, my boyfriend and I do not use condoms. We're used to me being on the birth control. I did not hide the fact that I'm not on BC this month from him, but we still didn't make a very good effort to use other protection. Now I'm having some pregnancy symptoms. My breasts are sore, I'm getting dull cramps in my lower stomach, I'm getting nauseous relatively easily (especially when I think of mac & cheese, my favorite food, or when I smoke), I'm getting headaches a lot, I'm tired all the time, and I seems to be peeing a lot.

The Question:
Is this probably a pregnancy or all in my head or just symptoms from coming off the birth control? ]]> Pregnancy - First Trimester aidensxmomma http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76640-wasnt-sure-post.html help:o( http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76631-help-o.html Fri, 28 Nov 2008 18:05:01 GMT Ive had symptons of a water infection so went to the docs on tuesday, water sample was clear so she done some more tests.

I think I about 9 weeks gone now my due date is 2nd July. I have my first scan 22nd December but have been felt a bit abandoned by the NHS. I have had nothing from them to tell me what to eat /do. That what I am feeling is normal.

I can't really talk to my family as they are not happy about the baby. I haven't been able to eat properly now for 3 weeks and have lost a lot of weight about 1.5 stone in 3 weeks. I am extremely bloated to the point that I look about 5 mths pregnant and I know it’s not bump. I am struggling to drink water / juice / pop anything it just makes me feel sick to look at it

Just feeling really emotional and can't stop falling asleep at my desk at work. Feels like I am moaning all the time (I think I am) but I am getting so frustrated and depressed with the emotional and physical drain I am experiencing!

I think I just need someone to talk to or slap me and tell me to pull myself together !!!!

I had a scan booked for today but they decided to scan yesterday and I was so scared and lonely, as OH was working away so had to face this by myself:cry:

They sent me down for the scan another internal, I was prepared for the bad news as I had mild cramps too.

well she started the scan and straight away there on the screen was our baby with a heartbeat:yipee::yipee::yipee:

The baby is 4mm which makes me just over 6 weeks, so the babys measuring as it should:cloud9:

I still cant believe what I saw, she had a good look around and could'nt find a reason for the bleeding and the mass in tube has also gone:happydance:

She also let me have a scan picture as OH wasnt there which hopefully I will be able to post later.

Am still in shock as I didnt expect to see anything, the bleed has now stopped again, just a little brown discharge, so there not worried and av got a weeks bed rest.

Although I have open access to the ward they dont need to see me anymore and to wait for my midwife to arrange for my 12 week scan:happydance:

JUst wondering how long everyone seems to wait between their first mw app and getting their first scan?

Also what happens at the 1st mw app?? :happydance::happydance: ]]> Pregnancy - First Trimester weebubbles http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76490-long-1st-scan.html Confused- need advice please http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76487-confused-need-advice-please.html Fri, 28 Nov 2008 08:33:31 GMT Im just wondering, is it necessary to see a doctor early on, or is it ok to just see a practice midwife at an initial appointment? I didn't go about things the orthodox way, as I was spotting early on and managed to get an early scan booked at the EPAU of the hospital I work at, but now that the scan showed everything fine, theyve said I should take it up from here with my GP practice. They also said I have the option of 'total care' at the hospital, but would first need to get referred by my practice.
When I called the Surgery for an appointment, they just asked if I wanted to see a doctor or a midwife and I assumed it should be a midwife, so i booked an appointment to see one on 10th December.


At the EPAU, they only checked my Haemoglobin, Blood pressure, pulse and temperature, because I'd been very breathless with palpitations, but no other investigations were done. When can I expect things to be dealt with more thoroughly, i.e. a detailed history, thorough examination and further investigations?

The pregnancy book Im reading only talks about my 'doctor' and it seems all this should have been done during the first or 2nd month latest.

Sorry but Ive had no guidance whatsoever on what the norm is. IS it ok that I never end up seeing my GP at all throughout pregnancy if all goes well?

Please do reply, as I still have time to book a quick appointment with the GP if need be.

Thanks so much! ]]> Pregnancy - First Trimester samah http://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/76487-confused-need-advice-please.html
