Bleeding...

KaraG2B · February 2011

So about an hour ago I went to the bathroom-brown blood. More than spotting but not gushing. I know that this COULD be normal, but I'm not feeling very positive. I'm now just waiting for it to either let up or turn bright red or for cramping to start. T&P during this time of limbo would be much appreciated! Thanks ladies...

*EDIT* Any chance someone would take over the check-ins for me, at least for a couple days until I know whats happening?

I'm sending you good thoughts! Put your feet up and rest.

Oh Kara, I'm so sorry to hear that. If you're doctor's office is still open, it couldn't hurt to call them, right? I'm still new to this world also, but if it's just brown spotting that keeps up I think they can give you something that might help.

Either way, lots of T&Ps coming your way! GL and keep us posted!

Since I'm a midwifery student, I'm lucky and have access to my preceptor (who I also planned to be my midwife) 24/7. I called her and she told me what I already know...just watch and wait!

Thank you guys for your T&P!

I am so sorry to hear this is happening. T&P to you - please keep us updated as well.

JustHyr · February 2011

No No No... I hate logging on and seeing stuff like this. T&Ps to you Kara. Keep positive! Are you in Columbus by chance? I am if you need someone close by to talk to.

FmrAFBrat · February 2011

Sending T&Ps your way. Hope everything works out.

Ritzy19 · February 2011

Sorry you're going through this right now. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Oh Kara I'm so sorry you're going through this! Try to stay positive, I'll keep you in my T&P. Keep us posted and be sure to visit us if you need some words of encouragement!

Nita2603 · February 2011

Oh Kara, I am so sorry to hear that. I hope everything is going to be alright. And if you wanna give me a foolproof direction email how you wanna have the check ins done, and how I am to edit the posts, I'll do my best to keep it going.

I would just need everybody to be a bit patient since I'll still have to work on the weekend.

Rest & Water...Rest & Water...

Sending you losts of sticky baby dust...T&P to you and the baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I think that somehow being a nurse makes us more paranoid...I am honestly freaking myself out every day

GL!!!!!!!!!

Lots of prayers and thoughts for you! If you explain to me about these check-ins I would love to take that on while you are are feeling heavy, but I am feeling very positive, I wish you the best!

HappyAardvark · February 2011

Everything's going to be just fine! Try to rest and relax. You've got a lot of people praying for you - please let us know how you're doing when you're ready to make an update - hopefully with good news!

KaraG2B · February 2011

Thank you all for your kind words. Still spotting a bit...so still waiting to see what happens.

For anyone who wants to take initiative and take over the check ins for now, its easy:

1) to edit the post, just click on the little pencil icon at the bottom of the post, make your changes, and submit!

2) I haven't updated with any of the replies for the Friday check-in post, so those are all fair game.

3) I've been posting daily just to catch all the newbies, but you don't have to. Every couple of days or weekly is probably okay.

4) Just follow the format I started or make it your own...its the board's list, not mine! Feel free to make any changes you think work!

5) PM me if you have any questions ;-)

I'll keep you guys updated....just feeling sick to my stomach right now....waiting sucks!

Thanks sewpinkgal...how is your spotting doing?

StrivingArtist · February 2011

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. You have my constant T&Ps.

StephK · February 2011

Oh Kara, I am so sorry about the spotting. I hope with some rest and time, the spotting stops completely. I will be thinking of you and your baby, please keep us updated when you can. *HUGS*

LindsayM · February 2011

Hopefully some rest will take care of the spotting! I was actually having light flow three days before I got my BFP and I'm still spotting some now. My temp is staying up, so I'm hanging on to hope. Just wanted you to know you're not alone! I'll be keeping you in my prayers - keep us updated!

uk2usa · February 2011

I'm sorry, I hope you can get some rest and baby sticks...

ahesseltine · February 2011

I know it's so hard, but try and stay positive. Just rest and take it easy. In my thoughts for sure!!

CashewsMommy · February 2011

Oh hun! Lots of T&P for you.

Early bleeding is totally normal. Rest up and drink lots of fluids!

If nobody else wants to take over the check in, I don't mind doing it. You don't worry about a thing. Rest and take care.

Julie822 · February 2011

You'll be in my T&P Kara! Hope it goes away.

Nita2603 - I am happy to help with the check-ins if you want to split it or something. We can do every other day or something? Let me know what you think.
