Sorry for the nonchalant title but I am having a mc and it really does suck so much :( I started spotting brownish blood on Wednesday, it eased off and started again on Thursday. On friday it was a little heavier but not too bad, but in the evening I started to feel that I should go to the...

Went to the loo and for the first time in this pregnancy when I wiped my discharge was not the usual clear but instead was a very light brownish colour. I wiped a few times and it kept coming. I am really worried now as I never fully believed everything was ok even after that scan which dated me...

So, I am at work in a sorry state. One of the three guys I support at this house just got back from hospital. He is non verbal and can now not qalk due to illness. I am on my own on a sleepover shift, called manager to make her aware that he was.unable to walk and I cant lift him. I said its...

Hi, I am really confused and worried sick playing the waiting game right now. I had a chemical pregnancy in april, got a positive but a few days later started to bleed (12th april) I wasnt sure if cycle would return to normal that month but we bd the week of my expected ovulation which...

So I went for my private scan at 8 weeks. They said I was showing just a yolk sac and looked around 5-6 wedks. I dont think its possible to be only 5-6 weeks as I got my bfp on the 17th of may so that isnt actually possible. I think my little bean stopped growing a few weeks ago but I wont find...

Ok, So I had a panic this morning - checked the scales and since last week I have gained 5lbs. I have worked really hard to lose weight over the last couple of years, so this rapid jump is scary and I panicked thinking that the weight would just keep coming at that rate. So I decided...

Hi (sorry for all these new threads but I don't wanna venture on google anymore for answers!) I started to take pregnacare vitamins around 4 days ago as I was only on multivitamins before and did not realise I needed folic acid. Anyway, since I have started taking these I have been having...

Hi guys, I have just booked myself in for an early scan at a private clinic because I have read so much online about MMC that I have totally spooked myself. I don't feel pregnant, it has not sunk in yet. I am only tired with tender breasts and occasional cramping. No sickness, no nausea...

Hi I am just over 6 weeks so I tried booking a docs appt last week but they don't have anything till tomorrow evening so I am going in then. However, I spoke to my friend who said she called the docs and told them what appt was for and just got an appt with the midwife instead! What am...

Hi, Ok so I am very early on in pregnancy and I feel that I need to tell my work as they do ask a lot of me and I want this pregnancy to be healthy so need the risk assessments done asap. I went to the directgov website and they have a standard maternity letter which is great but it...

Hello, Looking for some general advice - as the title says, I am obese and pregnant. I am coming in at 226lbs (16st 2lbs), I used to be 258lbs (18st 6lbs) so have lost 2 stone and 4lbs (I had lost just over 3 stone but I ended up over eating during winter and christmas) Although I am...

Hey I hope to open up an account soon for my growing little bean and save around £50 a month for the next goodness knows how long. I am not looking for an account which the child will automatically gain access to when they turn 18 or 21 because as a controlling person I do not want it...

Hi, I am coming up for 6 weeks pregnant and I need advice on what I should and should not be doing at work. Normally I would trust an employer to know what they are doing but my employer seems to break every rule in the book in regards to health and safety so I would like to know what is...

Ok, So I have told my mum and stepdad and my actual dad that I am now pregnant. I don't like attention from people so it was hard for me to do that - not because I was scared of their reactions, I knew my mum and stepdad wanted to be grandparents and that they would be over the moon! hehe...

I was under the impression that everyone got child tax credit - but after doing the online calculator it says we are entitled to nothing as our combined salary is high. (doesnt feel like it as we always struggle month to month) Does anyone know more about this? Thanks!

Hey, I am on my first pregnancy, and I am only 5 weeks in. I dont want to go overboard at this stage, we are keeping it quiet till we hit the 3 month mark. I would like to know where to start though, it is so overwhelming! Do we look at things we need to buy, and if so what first? Do...

Hey, I just found out I am pregnant with what will be my first - and my book on pregnancy has not arrived and I need some answers. I have been getting occasional cramping yesterday and today, not as constant as period cramps but not as dull either. They are quite tuggy and sharp but last...

I got a positive result yesterday on a clear blue test, but did not trust it so bought some FRER tests and got another positive last night and this morning. Lines are not overly dark but they are still there. Part of me wants to be super happy but I am so scared of it being another chemical...

Hey, I just finished my 2ww - I had taken multiple tests on the days approaching my missed AF but they came back negative. I was waiting for AF to show yesterday but nothing came so I took a test today and still a BFN :( Yet this morning when I woke up my face was burning hot and I...

Hi, So my partner and I just had a very early M/C - we were unsure about being pregnant initially but after it had sunk in we were super happy only to lose it days later. Anyway, this has really increased our desire to conceive. My problem is that I am in a job I HATE which to top it...
