Light pink spotting at 5 weeks

Hi! This is my first pregnancy, and I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant. Today, I noticed some light pink spotting when I wiped. Should I be concerned, or can this be normal in early pregnancy? I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow.

Saw this statement & wondered what you all thought about it..

“Having more than one child is selfish because you can lose your life during childbirth & leave one/two children behind”…

Sickness with everything

Morning mummy’s
I’m 8-9 weeks pregnant currently and my sickness is still very much here I didn’t have sickness with my first bubba so this is new to me 🤦‍♀️ is it me or is certain smells, my baby’s food, my baby’s pooey bum change, certain foods, certain drinks and the thought of all theses things make you gag/feel sick luckily I haven’t been sick but I have been close a couple times

Rant

Guys I’m sorry to rant but today I genuinely had the worst experience at my 36 week midwife appointment.

I’ve never seen this midwife before and she was just so blunt and rude .

She refused to measure my fundal height , bear in mind I mentioned last time they wrote down the wrong measurement on my notes . I know these aren’t the most accurate but they make me feel better knowing if it’s getting bigger , I had growth scans in the past .

I feel like she accused me of either not taking my iron tablets or taking 84 . I told her I finished my box and she was adamant that I was given 84 and that I’m either lying about taking them or finishing them . Once checking the system it was discovered I was only given 28 🙈.

When I asked to talk about possible birth plan she made a comment that you can’t just schedule a birth plan and not to follow everything I see online . I wasn’t asking for induction or C-section I just wanted to ask about the possibility of a water birth .

The student midwife checked the baby’s heart beat and i wasn’t informed of his position , so I asked and she didn’t seem happy I did . My baby was transverse at my last appointment and I said I was worried that he still was . She followed by ‘what are you worried about ‘ . I said I’m 36 weeks and my baby isn’t head down . What if he stays like that and I deliver before my next appointment?

I’m very paranoid about going over 40 weeks, I’m not sure why I just have anxiety and I mentioned that . For her to then say ‘well he can stay there until 42 weeks if he’s not ready ‘ I understand this is factually correct but I just feel like I was a burden to her today .

Sorry for the rant I’m just really upset about this experience and honestly do not want to attend my next appointment 🙈
