I know people that bled the whole way through their pregnancies and their babies are perfectly healthyMore brown blood todaywhy can’t this just be stress free. I have blood like once a week. After losing the one, I’m so frightened about the other one
I’ve texted the midwife to see what she thinks.
I had bleeding at 6 weeks was brown blood too turned out to be old blood, they wouldn’t scan me or anything though cause they only classed it as stainingI hope everything is ok. I had 5 episodes of bleeding in this pregnancy, more often it was just spotting but one time at 6/7 weeks I passed a clot about the size of a 5p. I had a sub chorionic haematoma which thankfully resolved by 12 weeks. I’m now almost 26 weeks. It’s such a worrying time though, in my last pregnancy I had bleeding up until 21 weeks with my son. Blue lighted to the hospital the whole lot. He’s now 6. I hope this gives you some piece of mind xMore brown blood today

I would take it off, how many weeks pregnant are you? If your quite early does your hospital have a early pregnancy unit you could attend?
sorry to hear about the stressful time you’ve had, have you got an early pregnancy unit at any of your local hospitals you can phone and ask them to get you in for a scan? It’s probably nothing to worry about, I had spotting and cramping with my little girl and all was fine, but I would insist on getting a scan for your own peace of mind
I feel you on being terrified haha! My little on will be 21 months when baby is here, he's pretty much been in lockdown since he was 4 months old hoping he doesn't resent the baby as we are together all the time
I'd take it off and rest. Put yourself first x
ha ha aw I’m sure he will love the new baby, I’m feeling a weird kind of guilt towards my daughter for getting pregnant, almost like I’ve cheated on her or something! I hope she doesn’t think I love her any less because of the new baby, motherhood is just one big long guilt trip sometimes ha haI feel you on being terrified haha!

Welcome to the thread and congratulations. I've not advice regarding a second as this will be my first but I'm excited for you. Small age gaps are lovely x
Hi, congrats! I have been breastfeeding at the start of all my pregnancies (after no1!) and never had an issue. With baby 2 I fed until around 8 weeks, baby 3 I was about 11 weeks when I stopped feeding, and this current pregnancy my toddler stopped feeding around 14 weeks. You should be absolutely fine
oh thank you so much! This is very reassuring, yes I’m gonna try and potty train my daughter sometime between April and sept, just depending on how ready she is, it will be a relief to potty train her as she is a terror at getting her nappy changed ha haHi, congrats!

I’ve also had approx 2.5yr age gaps as well, and it’s great! Never had any problems with that Age gap at all. I would say, if possible, get no1 out of nappies a good while before no2 arrives. Trying to potty train with a newborn isn’t something I’ve ever wanted to get in to!
I would really recommend the book (I have the kindle version) Oh Crap Potty Training for when the time comes
that she would be so put out and resent it all forever. That never materialised, she absolutely loved having a baby sibling (as did my son when no3 came along) and I think 2.5 is a great age for them to be able to understand it all. It will all fall in to place, try not to torture yourself with worries about how you’ll manage and how your eldest will take to the babythank you so much for replying, honestly it is really reassuring, that’s exactly how I’ve been feeling - like I’m going to ruin my little girls life, what a weird guilt trip it is, these are the things about motherhood which you just don’t expect, everyone knows about the sleep deprivation and the dirty nappies but the guilt and emotional load is crazy, I’m just going to try and relax and have faith that everything will work out!I would really recommend the book (I have the kindle version) Oh Crap Potty Training for when the time comes
Also just to add when I got pregnant with my 2nd I was so worried I had ruined my eldest’s life
I think it probably won’t make things worse or better but if you’re not feeling right and your mind is elsewhere then I’d take the day off work. Have you tried calling the early pregnancy unit? X
I would definitely call the EPU in the morning they will be much more helpful than a midwife xx
I was. Didn't find they helped much and made me very drowsy.you can ask your gp for something else
Hi
I was on cyclezine last pregnancy and this one. Last time they helped loads and I would feel much better after taking one. It would start to wear off after a few hours and I knew I was ready for my next. This time they haven’t been much use. I take them 3 times a day and they’ve never taken the nausea away totally. They do take the edge off slightly so I just live with it like that, so nausea is about a 5 rather than a 9. I am just knackered all the time I think
