Many, sticky wishes essence!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you essnce. If you had brown spotting before this might be normal for you? Also it might be normal for this pregnancy to have less nausea. Sending all the sticky vibes.

Primal I have had the exact same feelings, but as you say just grateful to be pregnant and we will deal with whatever outcome.

Oh stephk I feel like a total wanker, essnce's situation has just put it all into perspective. What a sook I was being, I am slightly aghast at myself. Healthy baby is all that matters. The end.

Don't feel like a wanker we have all felt the same I am sure!! I know I have. And felt like a wanker for thinking it too.

Essence honey im sure all is fine I know alot of people that have spotted even bright red blood and gone onto have healthy babies. But if I was you I would want an early scan and be seen by a doc or midwife so deft. call your doc tomorrow if it starts up again! I would also try and rest take the day off work or see if friends can pick kids up from school etc! Thinking of you and sending you sticky vibes!!
Primal honey we have ALL had those feelings and yip I had a TON of them when newly pregnant you can't help pulling apart your sway, over analyzing every symptom , feeling down cause its never you that gets the girl!We all hear you and you were not to know essence was posting at the same time, if you can't have a moan or rant on here where can you!!

Still can't believe it - the sonographer was very confident this baby is a girl! Praying all goes well at tomorrow's appointment, I know it's a scan where they will do extra anatomy checks for downs clues but not sure.

Well yay for some (tentative) pink news. I too have had friends who have bled bright red during early pregnancy & have gone on to have healthy babes & I truly hope this is the case for you essnce. Thank you Kitkat & stephk for being so understanding. Xx

Congrats Steph! I am betting that a confident tech is very good news for pink!! It's pretty obvious at that stage, at least in my experience

Essence, I hope everything is just fine. It's totally not uncommon to spot and even pass clots, especially if you have a hematoma or a particularly touchy cervix. I know tons of mamas who have spotted, and even flat out bled, who go on to have healthy babies. But it must be nerve wracking that no one can really step up to help out your fears. Hopefully some betas will put your mind at ease that things are still progressing well. Try not to panic. Rest and fluids, if possible

And primal, don't feel bad. At all. That is why we are here. Everyone has these thoughts, no matter the health of our children or the goings on in others lives. It's just our nature to evaluate and re-evaluate what we did, or didn't do. And, please, don't beat down your sway. I am sure it was perfect for you and remember that it doesn't mean it wasn't enough to get your girl.

I am trying to embrace having a little guy for our likely conclusion. I am feeling pretty done with pregnancy and babies after this one and I just am overwhelmed with the idea of trying again, regardless of gender. I keep reminding myself that I did want another little boy and that I didn't have a sister and I am quite pleased and fine with my life and family make-up. I don't necessarily think my daughter needs a sister either, she is fairly independent and can hold her own in our group right now, so that is helping me realize that she will likely be just fine in a gang of brothers. It's funny how the world gives us these notions of "ideal" though and now that I have brothers and a girl, the next natural "ideal" is to give my daughter a sister. Again, as though I can order it up off a menu.

But, regardless, I know I will adore this baby and really try to appreciate it all. Because I know I'll regret it if I don't enjoy this pregnancy as my last.

(My boys survived the night...it was a close call though. Lol. They are being moderately better today. We might even venture to go get pumpkins. And no, no ones children are the only heathens...no matter how cute or sweet or innocent, all of our kids give us heck at some point or another!)
