Due October 2018

Hi ladies
Thank you for the sweet messages and concerns.
I was suppose to see the stand-in Dr by Tuesday morning, when I spoke to him on the phone he just told me that it means I am miscarrying without even asking me what is really going on.
We decided not to go see him because he even said there is not much that he can do and we saw no need of going to him and all his negativity. I understand that he is a Dr and I rather wait for my Dr to just tell me what's going on or what has been going on.
My Dr will be in tomorrow and will therefore see her tomorrow.

The bleeding has reduced a lot, I only have spotting currently which is pinkish when I wipe. Could this mean that the blood that the Dr saw is stopping or it means I have done miscarrying.
I cried a lot these past days I still do now, I just pray that the baby is fine and the blood that came out is not my baby.
This has thus far been the most difficult time of my life.
I will tell you what the outcome is tomorrow and hopefully my baby is perfectly fine.

@beertjie and jlk. No we could not see the heartbeat. Still too early, hopefully at our next appointment that feels like its ages away.

Are any of you ladies in jhb? I have a gynae at olivedale but im not sure if i want to stay with her because firstly she was almost an hour late ( we were there at 7:30 for our 8h00 appointment and was only helped at 9) and then she did not ask questions or gave us info especially with this being our first baby.

We told our parents last night and they are so excited

Hi Ladies,

How are you all doing?

@ellam, I use PregOmega Plus that I take at night to prevent nausea during the day. This really helps a lot. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to take them this week as I’m dealing with horrible gastro. I also use folic acid every morning. How is your morning sickness?

@kels, has the bleeding stopped? Could it be a subchorionic hematoma? Did the doctor recomend bedrest? Please let us know how you’re doing. Sending lots of hugs your way ???

@beertjie, I’m glad the bleeding stopped. When is your first appointment?
Thanks for easing my mind about the third baby, we are so excited about meeting this little jellybean ❣️

@madie, were you able to see the little heart beat yet? I’m glad everything looked good. ?
The wait between appointments always feels so long. Between my two kids I had three miscarriages so with my last pregnancy I bought a fetal doppler. This really helped to ease my mind between appointments. (Though it can only be used after 10weeks)

We told our six year old daughter about the baby last weekend. I know it’s soon but just couldn’t hold it in anymore. She is VERY excited and cannot wait for the baby to ‘come out my tummy’ ?❣️

Mandi did you see a heart beat or was it still to early? Glad everything went well.

Kels how are you doing?

@beertjie. Scan went well, im about 5 weeks and 3 days so still very early. My next appointment is on the 23rd of March, its an amazing time but im so scared and nervous.

Kels I am so sorry to hear. At least your baby is still doing fine. I pray that the blood will stop and that our God will keep you calm and the baby safe.

My spotting has stoped. I cant believe how much I love this baby already.

Mandi enjoy ur scan and please update us.

@kels
Thanking about you, im sure everything will be fine. Just try and stay positive.
@Beertjie i also had brown spotting but i read that its normal.

I have my first gynae appointment tommorrow and im so nervous. Any questions that i must ask?
