Pregnancy #13 Sponsored by McDonalds

[WhatABore]

Thank you so much. I’m in town inbetween Lincoln and Nottingham I’ve rang Lincoln, Nottingham, Peterborough and Mansfield. Peterborough have a space tomorrow but they say they won’t scan me if I’m likely to miscarry, but these tests have reassured me a bit.

My sister in law is currently pregnant and she got scanned at Peterborough when they thought she may have been miscarrying!
She had bright red blood.
So that's a load of rubbish on their part as that was a month ago!

I can't remember how far along you said you are but as others have said.. Brown blood is old blood and very rarely a worry unless it turns to red and heavy!

@Smallpotato im so sorry you’ve had that experience today! Positive thoughts and you’ll be in my mind until we know you’re okay

35 weeks today. Could very well be induced at 37 weeks. 6 years of trying, numerous ops for endometriosis and a late miscarriage mean I can’t quite believe we’re about to become parents for the first time

Oh this is the best news

I’m overwhelmed by everyone being so kind!

I’m seriously reconsidering switching hospitals to have this baby if this is what is going to be like for the pregnancy. With my son they were incredible but today was horrible and scary, and the fact the doctor was so blasé about me going home to miscarry. I also can’t believe that it was down to a security guard to decide whether my husband could sit with me.

I fell asleep on the sofa; I’m such a crap crier that I get headache and I have to close my eyes. I went for another wee and no blood, no cramping, nothing.

I’m upset with myself that I didn’t have my logical brain engaged and realised that brown blood is old blood and that he had the test wrong. But I felt so vulnerable this morning that you could have told me that the sky was pink and I’d believe you.

I'd definitely consider it, I'd also be raising a PALS complaint against him, if he's saying that to you how many other expectant mothers is he potentially putting in unnecessary harms way by causing them even more stress at what is quite literally the worst moment of your life. I'll be thinking of you x

Hoping you manage to get some rest/chill out time tonight maybe a cheeky McDonald's to take the edge off! Xxx

I was begging him to call EPU as I can’t go home and miscarry. He was so put out that he can to ring them! I explained that this happened to me in 2016 and I was sent home to get on with it, and I can not mentally cope with that again.

I wouldn’t judge the maternity unit by A&E though… if you had a good experience with your son, that’s the most important thing. A&E doctors are generally useless at anything obstetric / gynae related (as you’ve unfortunately proved today!!) Once you’ve had your scan on Wednesday you’ll have more access to actual normal maternity and hopefully things will improve.

Plus now Boris has announced that after the 19th there’s no limit on indoor socialising, I don’t see how hospitals can continue to limit visitors… I’m lucky as my hospital is back to normal (apart from children but I always think children shouldn’t really be in hospital visiting anyway )

 

[Smallpotato]

Ps who suggested McDonald’s for tea? I’m off there as soon as toddler is in bed

 

[Disneylifeonly]

Went to see midwife today
Booked in for a sweep a week today
However shes saying they may do one at the hospital tomorrow when I'm there for a check up and scan
Either way if things don't start moving, within the next week I'll have some progress, thank god

that’s a very good point on the maternity unit! I just feel a bit wobbly with it all!

I love and hate visitors in hospital!

May or may not be tucking in to a chicken select meal with a cheeseburger on the side right now...

Yeah I agree with this, when I had my first miscarriage I went to A&E as advised by 111 (naively I had never been aware of miscarriages before I got pregnant first time round) the things the Dr said and the way he made me feel was absolutely awful I was dreading giving birth there when I finally got pregnant with my son, but the maternity unit was wonderful and couldn't of asked for better midwives xx

 

[WhatABore]

Unfortunately I think most places are the same in regards to miscarriages. I understand there is nothing they can do but they could at least make you feel cared for and like they're bothered!
It's been my experience before with the doctors!

 

[Jellybb]

After that private scan yesterday my tummy is in absolute bits like it feels bruised or something does anyone else feel like this after a scan?

 

[springheeledyeti]

This baby is beating the crap out of me tonight! Two weeks until the third trimester, how the hell did that happen

I did too after the 12 weeks scan the baby was having a snooze the wrong way around so he was prodding me for ages trying to get the baby to wake up felt bruised the next day!

Yes the same thing happened me yesterday! It was my second anomaly scan, I went private for this one because the maternity hospital one was rushed and tit and took 10 mins the private one I got was veeeery intense and a lot of prodding for this stubborn baby! She loves facing into my back
