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.

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 🙈

Waters breaking

Hello how can we tell if our waters break . I am 36+6 and in the bath I felt a little trickle from my vagina ?? Is it possible my waters have broken??

Baby’s name

Over 38 weeks pregnant and still don’t have a name for baby boy.
My partner is very stuck on “Harley” and although I love the name, our girl is called Hailey and I think it’s too similar. Does “Hailey & Harley” sound silly?? HELP🥲

Food!

Ladies I need help! Throughout the day I can snack and snack until the cows come home but as soon as it hits dinner time I’m not interested! I’m 13 weeks pregnant all my nausea has gone but the food aversions are defo still there! I don’t know what to do!

Will this tiredness pass?

Hey all! Delighted to be here. Currently 11 weeks pregnant with a little girl and I’ve never felt tiredness like it. I am exhausted all the time. I don’t recall this with my two boys but they are 16 soon to be 17 and 10. I also left the father a month ago (gladly) so doing it solo this time! Please someone tell me this will pass, feeling crappy and useless. I’m 37 x
