Blood in baby's nappy
Anyone ever had this?
This evening when I changed my baby girl's nappy, there was some blood in , and it looked like it was from around the vagina. Obviously freaked out, but I keep thinking that at her previous nappy change, she made a supermassive poop that was spread all over the place, even on her vagina, and I keep thinking that maybe i accidentally scratched her while I tried to wipe everything clear. That is the only explanation I can think of, but obviously my mind is filled with all sort of terrible thoughts about internal bleeding and such. (Nobody could hurt her, as she was with me all the time.) We checked now and hour later, and no more bleeding, patted it with some dry cotton wool, and no more blood for now. Phoned a pediatrician friend who said that we should keep an eye on it for now.
I feel like I will keep secretly checking her nappy throughout the night due to worrying...

Hi, light or pink colour blood is usually something lower down that's existed the body pretty quickly or like a scratch however if it's dark that could indicate it's coming from higher up such as the digestive track. Hope that puts your mind at ease but you could always ring 111 x
My daughter had a skin rash and she itched around there and made it bleed. It’s bleed abit but then stopped. I checked later and she was fine. Keep an eye on it but might as you said caught it

111 raised safeguarding assessment
My baby fell off the bed last night so rang 111, told to go to A&E and all fine. 111 said they were doing safeguarding assessment. What should I expect to happen? Not heard anything yet. Thank you

28 weeks appointment
Did anyone have a bad experience with doctor at the hospital? I had my appointment today and I have waited an hour. I finally got called in and he asked me why I’m here? I felt like that was a red flag as you made me wait then asked me why I’m here then had the nerve to speak really fast without eye contact. He didn’t introduce me two nurses in the room. One nurse started testing my blood pressure using the machine while I had to figure to answer his question. I’ve told him to check my records and the nurse told him my BP. While this was going on me and my partner was looking at each other on how rude he was. Then started coming up with all these terminology and said I wasn’t anemic and to not worry about anything. I said the level dropped so it is concerning and he goes dw we can review it around 36 weeks. I said midwife said I need a drip and he goes I deal with that and to not worry and said is there anything else? Then had the cheekiness to say should have done this on telephone consultation. I was baffled and went.
