ButterflyWrists 154 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 So, it's been a very exciting and nerve wracking couple of months. We got engaged in August, and I started my new job not long ago. And I'm now roughly 9 weeks pregnant. Had a scan yesterday due to a small bleed, no cause found, and heart beat seen. Omg I'm so in love already! No inkling on the sex and really don't mind as long as our baby is happy and healthy 😍. I've not got many symptoms, unless my cats decide to eat a mouse in front of me lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Batya33 1,899 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Best wishes for a continued healthy pregnancy! i spotted some in week 5 and 6 but it resolved. First saw the heartbeat in my 9th week too! I was 8 months pregnant at our wedding! I had more than an inkling on gender -I just knew it was a boy and even though I thought i'd always wanted a girl when I got pregnant I knew I just wanted a healthy baby, then I knew it was a boy and was thrilled! At 16 weeks my inkling was confirmed. Best wishes!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ButterflyWrists 154 Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 I saw baby again yesterday, found the potential cause of the bleed too, a little implantation bleed above the sac. I have a video of babies heart beat now, I love it!! I do wish I didn't get irrationally moody over dumb things, the other day it was cause my fiance cooked too much pasta *eye roll* ah well, he's being very patient with me and caring. I love him and our life so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love him and our life so much. I think it's normal to get more emotional/fragile but try to be self-aware and not react so you subject your fiance to it. Also good training for when the baby comes. Be patient and caring with him too -his body isn't changing but this is a huge adjustment for him. Not a doctor but I thought implantation bleeding happened much earlier. I spotted too, never got it checked out, it resolved on its own . Glad all is ok! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ButterflyWrists 154 Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 I am trying not to react, and apologising as soon as I've over reacted or as soon as I realise I have. It's just very annoying being wound up by stupid things. I also thought that, but I did see a slight bleed during the scan, 2cm but should clear up. The bleeding seems to be very other day.

Yes, I spotted some too and I'm glad you have the scan. So there's a Daniel Tigers episode- a kids show -where they tell the kids through the character - you have to say "sorry" and "how can I help"- so that the person you've wronged knows you want to choose a different reaction next time. It is very annoying to be wound up by stupid things -I agree! It's great that you know that and know the cause -it helps a lot in choosing a different reaction. I know it's so hard and it's good to start laying the groundwork now for being a good team as parents even when the going is rough. Good luck and hope today is better!

ButterflyWrists 154 Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 More bleeding today, bright red. No clots and only when I wipe. But it's scared the poop out of me yet again. Early pregnancy unit doesn't open until 9am and unsure if they'll be able to scan me today :( Damnit we tried for 19 months for this, I can't lose our baby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Early pregnancy unit doesn't open until 9am and unsure if they'll be able to scan me today :( Damnit we tried for 19 months for this, I can't lose our baby. Two things -I had that too and it was fine. My older sister basically had her period through much of her last pregnancy and didn't know she was pregnant until over 3 months along (many years ago). That baby has two babies of her own now. Of course get it checked out -I totally understand and I wish you all the best!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphim 1,774 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Praying for you sweetheart! More bleeding today, bright red. No clots and only when I wipe.

Seraphim 1,774 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 How are you doing ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ButterflyWrists 154 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Thank you both! I'm doing ok, triage said unless bleeding gets heavier I'll be ok. Only had that but once yesterday. Lots of pain but I'm pretty sure that's growing pains. Pregnancy is stressful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ButterflyWrists 154 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Ok scrap that. Half hour ago I lost a blood clot. I'm hoping and praying that it's the bleed that's leaving and I'm not losing baby. Totally heartbroken right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not a doctor and from what I learned I'd get checked out if you feel pain at this point. Take care of yourself and we are here if you need support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ButterflyWrists 154 Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Thank you all for the well wishes! Had a scan this morning, baby is doing well, got the bleed still above baby. So as long as I don't need a pad and lose a period amount of blood I'm doing ok. Have my dating scan in two weeks so I'm very happy. I can't believe how much bigger baby is in a week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphim 1,774 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Did they recommend bed rest? Is it a SCH bleed? Glad your baby is well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ButterflyWrists 154 Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Sch? No they've not recommended anything. I've let my job know what's going on, and they asked me the same thing. They're going to look into ways they can help me, because obviously now I can't have any medication for my nerve pain. I'm only doing part time do going to rest up as much as possible in between 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
