Honestly I’m not sure. I’m hoping it’s nothing, I didn’t even bleed when I lost mine so there was no warning. So it could be anything. Doesn’t always mean something bad. Since you are bleeding go to the er. Don’t wait just because if it is something bad they have to make sure nothing is left because you can get very sick. So I would recommend getting checked out don’t wait

Keep me updated! Fingers crossed it’s just a cyst or something not serious

@Shynel already went today to the epu and they sent me away with no scan, no blood work etc so 🥴

@Laura my friend said something about this, never heard of a period trying to come during pregnancy, very odd!

I had heavy bleeding at 10 weeks and felt the exact same as you, they eventually found a big hematoma in my uterus (like a bruise). It’s carried on bleeding a bit every day since (I’m 15 weeks) but the baby is fine. Apparently this is quite common.
Try not to presume the worst. 🩷

@Helen thank you 🫶 glad you and baby are doing well, needed this positive story today xx

No problem. Feel free to message me if you need to talk 🩷

I bled a ton, with clots, and my baby was fine. However, heavy bleeding like that usually indicated a miscarriage. Fingers crossed for you.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.
