Hi Ladies,
Mind if i join you all on here? I am normally found on the Members Diaries section but am setting up around here now as well if that's ok?
A little introduction - i am 30 years old and myself and OH were TTC for 18 mths before getting pregnant. We actually got pregnant on our last month trying before starting IUI. We had been through all the tests etc and some issues came up with OH's samples. Nothing to make natural conceiving impossible but enough to make them suggest treatment. As you can imagine we were delighted when we got the positive.
I have lost a lot of weight this year - went from 18 stone to just over 13 from Feb - July and i am sure that was a contributor in getting pregnant. I lost weight through healthy eating and loads of exercise and felt a milliions times better as a result.
I am just 8 weeks now. For weeks 4-6 i felt fine, full of beans, delighted no symptons etc apart from very full and sore boobies!. At mid week through week 6 nausea and vomiting kicked in and is still here, i am getting sick a couple of times a day, usually morning and evening and have lost a few pounds as a result, but am not complaining.
We have also had a worrying time for the last few days - since Thursday i have had on/off brown and pink spotting/discharge. Sorry if TMI. Not a huge anount just there when i wipe. We went into the maternity hospital on Sunday night and they scanned me and we saw the baby and the heartbeat so that was a huge relief. They advised that spotting can be nothing or else it can be an early sign of something bad happening. They told me it should settle down and if not to come in and get re-scanned. I had nothing all day yesterday and then some pink spotting last night, nothing again today. I am absolutley terrified and am trying my best to relax but have a horrible feeling of terror that i just can't shift. Has this happened anyone on here? I know my hormones are getting to me as well and i was sitting in the bathroom earlier getting sick and crying my eyes out with the fear. They told me at the hospital to just carry on as normal but i rang in sick to work yesterday and today. I think we have decided that if the spotting comes back again tonight we will go into the hospital again. Has anyone any experience of this?
Thanks ladies.
