Stressed and sad

Sitting here this evening and my mind is just thinking of everything it possibly can. 2-3 weeks on a clear blue digital, I’ve been slightly bleeding since last Saturday nothing heavy only when I wipe between pink/brown. I finally see my GP yesterday and he puts me on a higher dose of folic acid as this was originally average Before I got pregnant, I also thought that the bleeding had calmed down, till today there is now blood in my wee and still when I wipe since 1pm this afternoon. Now waiting for the GP to call me tomorrow, I can’t stop thinking of the worse is still to come 😪!!

Is the blood bright red and are you cramping

it’s not bright red and I am cramping but not as painful as a period cramp, it’s more uncomfortable. Is it normal to have blood in your urine? I’m so bloated and I constantly have to pee am really uncomfortable at this stage.

I would go get checked out if I was you because if there’s blood in your urine you could have a infection

I have tried no one is listening to me, will only see me if I have heavy bleeding or bad cramps, this is the early scan unit. I’m hoping my gp will help me as he has got me a early scan for Wednesday morning, but now this has happened I feel like it’s one thing afternoon another. I read up on that blood in urine could be an infection x

I’m honestly not letting the GP off the phone tomorrow until someone sees me. 😊 honestly ready to kick some ass 😂😂😂 I work for the NHS too 😐 absolutely shocking how things have changed

they may not do anything doctors can be useless when I was pregnant in April I asked for progesterone but they wouldn’t give it to me and I ended up miscarrying

it’s really shocking!! I must say my GP is pretty good but if I don’t get him and get someone else they don’t seem to help as I saw my good GP yesterday he called straight away and got me a early scan but I don’t think he is in now for a few weeks as he is away, kind of wish this happened yesterday so at least I could of told him and he would of done his best for me. So who ever I get on the phone tomorrow I’m not moving till I get seen 😂😂. Sorry can I ask what is progesterone 🫤

I’m so sorry that happened to you as well ❤️

why would they not give you that.

Because they said rhst it had to be prescribed by the early pregnancy unit or a
Gynaecologist

I’m being seen today 😊 hoping for the best!!! Please be ok little bean ❤️❤️

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
