A bit worried...

Comment Published at 17:5117:518 comments8 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport

I have been stressing over the past week. Why? Because I have been slightly spotting and having slight pain. For days. Today, I'm approximately 7 weeks, 3 days pregnant. I have kind of taken it for granted that this pregnancy would progress and I would be holding a baby in my arms in November. I have told a few people, and now I regret it. My mother in law has been telling everyone we are expecting our 3rd baby. And now this is happening. I just read another woman's experience with a miscarriage and a lot of things she described have been happening to me. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at around 10am, but it seems so far away...

My other 2 pregnancies were a breeze, apart from getting obstetric cholestasis in my 1st and being induced both times. I have never suffered a miscarriage before. When you have the luck I have had with pregnancies, its hard not to take another pregnancy for granted, you just think everything will be fine. I will find out tomorrow if everything is ok, I guess.

I went shopping with my mum, sisters and grandmother yesterday. We went to a massive Westfield shopping centre, from 10am - 3pm. Mum and Grandma gave me some money to spend on myself, as they know all our money goes on bills, food, or the kids. Even when I do get money, I tend to buy something for the kids! They are better dressed than I am! But did I buy myself anything? NO! I just couldn't decide on anything, and had to be kept away from children's clothing stores (as I probably would've bought them something instead). So I came home with some money that I promised to use to buy myself some clothes with. I tried to hide the money (I know, how nasty lol), but my husband snooped in my bag and found it! Now he wants me to use the money to pay off bills! I feel so selfish for wanting to spend it on myself now...

Well, better go hang up the 4th load of washing for the day, I was naughty and didn't do any this weekend! Was so nice to go out with my family yesterday. I took Liam while hubby had a day with Ava. I think they had a good day together too, he reckons Ava would rather be an only child as she behaved like an angel (very rare with my crazy little girl)!

Re: A bit worried...

Hope that all goes well at the doctors tomorrow. It must be a real concern. I was always like that with money too and still am. Now at Christmas my mum gets me a Suzanne Grae voucher so that I have to spend it on clothes for myself and don't get the kids something or spend it on the bills. You will have to learn to hide that money a bit better from hubby. LOL You shouldn't feel selfish but hey we are mums and that is what we do. Good luck tomorrow!

Hey Jess
I know your worry. I had spotting with Caitiln and also with this pregnancy. Things have turned out fine but times for me so keep that thought close to your mind. I am glad that you are going to the doctor as the stress of wondering and waiting will be doing no one any good.
I will be thinking of you tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed for you.
Love and hugs.

You could always go to the ER if you can't stand waiting BUT if the pain or bleeding gets heavy GO STRAIGHT AWAY. I had a miscarriage last year after 3 pregs with no problems so i know how your feeling. That being said, I had a bleed with this pregnancy and everything was still fine.

Re: A bit worried...

Oh spend it on yourself. It wasn't given to you to pay bills. I know this sounds harsh and your hubby will probably crack the poops but it was for you not bills. Just think how p***ed off your mum and grandma would be if you paid bills with it.

That is very scary about the bleeding! I would probably suggest going to the hospital just to check it out! They will do an ultrasound to see if they can find the heartbeat. In our hospital there is a PAC (pregnancy assessment centre) which you go to not emergency and you get seen to straight away. Do you have one at your hospital?

Re: A bit worried...

I'm not sure if they have a PAC at our hospital... Maybe they do, but I have never been told about this with any pregnancy? I should ask...

I really do want to spend the money on myself. But because my husband said we need it for bills, I feel so selfish! I should've just spent it yesterday when I had the chance, I can't believe 5 hours at a huge shopping centre and I couldn't find anything!!  I don't feel normal!

Hi there,

It would be a worry to realise that you are spotting, although that never happened to me, it did to a friend of mine and her pregnancy was fine.  Get it checked out for you peace of mind though.  Good luck.

So cool to go shopping with all the generations!   I don't think it is selfish to want to spend something on yourself for a change.  You could always compromise and go 50/50 with you and the bills?!!

Re: A bit worried...

Hi Julie, I have never experience spotting with my previous pregnancies, so this is all new to me. It's good to hear about other mother's who have had the same problem and went on to give birth. It was great shopping with everyone yesterday! Except my sisters were hung over (oh well, typical, it was the day after Saturday night). I might see if he likes the 50/50 deal...
