Help, clueless!

Hiya. So long story short.. im trying to be a mum at age 36. Im on day 28 of my cycle... and passed my usual period day. Im crying writing this. So basically I track my temp on my galaxy watch and saw I went right down in temp to the minus had some pinky brown spotting.. then it stopped my temp has slowly rose each night to now plus 0.8 fahrenheit. Today I had some spotting again.. very light pinkish brown.. I then popped a q tip inside just to see if anything else going on. It then became heavy dark reddy brown colour and now im scared. Ive had constant lower back ache for several days.. and my stomache has been hurting on and off. Im so scared. Can anyone help me please. I have pics but not sure if im allowed to share. X

How much blood? A few drops is normal for implantation but more than that could be a sign of period instead, I am saying a prayer for you and wishing you a happy healthy baby

I stopped the pill 6 cycles ago. First time unprotected sex this month. Its all new to me and everything seems crazy. I have had lower back pain for 5 days now and my stomache is hurting on and off. When I dont put a q tip in its very light drops on my pad. Im scared I killed it by putting a q tip in 😞 i feel so stupid. Im 36 nearly 37 maybe im just not cut out to be trying to be a mum as im finding it scary and too overwhelming. Thank you for commenting by the way I soooo appreciate you reaching out

I was 36 with my first daughter after 14 years of ttc, we gave up trying and she pleasantly suprised us. I'm also pregnant again 30 weeks, I'm 38 this year, please don't give up or be disheartened xx
Have you done a pregnancy test to see if positive? You could then go to the early pregnancy unit for advice

Can you still have some heavier implantation bleeding and still be pregnant or not? Xx

Will I be induced if I keep having episodes of reduced movements?

I’m currently 36+5 and have been in 4 times so far with reduced movements. I have low PAPP-A so have been advised to keep an eye on movements but now that I’m getting closer to term I’m worried about being induced. This is my second baby and with my first I went naturally at 39 weeks, so an induction scares me! Obviously I want what’s best for the baby but I feel like I’m talking myself out of going into triage again just incase they suggest an induction! Has anyone else experienced an induction due to reduced movements?

Hello everyone. I have a son who was born April 5, 2024... And I just found out that I am pregnant with baby number 2, but little bean is also due in April 2027. For those of you that have kids born in the same month, how do you handle or prepare for this?

Baby head down and engaged

This is my second pregnancy and I’m 37+2 (due 5th Oct). I got told at my midwife appointment baby is engaged. Can this mean labour could come soon?

Baby not rolling belly to back at 14 weeks old

Anyone else? My first born was doing it by now.

Referred to fetal medicine

Looking for some similar stories please. I’m 26+2 weeks and I’ve been having growth scans every 2 weeks because the baby is measuring small (especially her head). Following my growth scan today, the fetal medicine unit have called asking me to go in for a specialist scan. The woman scared the life out of me on the phone saying it could be chromosome issues etc. has anyone had any experience with this?

42 weekers only please

I am 42 +1 today. I still am measured at 1cm
and 50% effaced. Everything looked great on scans. I can’t remember with my previous pregnancies how dilated I was before birth. How dilated were you before active labor?
