    Not feeling so hot this morning, not sure if its because I got up too early, had to big of a bowl of cereal, or just feeling yucky in general. Hoping it goes away soon
  • Woke up this morning and wiped brown discharge! There was nothing red and it wasn’t in my panties. In my next bathroom break it was pretty much gone. I called the midwife but they aren’t in office today. Of course, they’re always on call if I page but I don’t feel like it’s an emergency, just need some reassurance. 

    I'm still feeling baby regularly and I had a bit of traumatic day yesterday, for me at least. My husband took me to see a production of Rocky Horror a few hours away and in our nice dinner before the show a woman slammed the bathroom door on my finger. I was crying uncontrollably. I’ve found with the hormones when I start crying it’s hard to stop. Finger is bruised but seems okay. I also have a lowish placenta (2.1cm from cervix) so I read bleeding a bit can be normal. I’m going to take it easy today and hope for the best!
  • @jenchoo keep an eye on it, but brown discharge isn’t usually a concern, unless it starts being true red or in large amounts. Also if you’ve had sex in the past 24-48 hours that’s a pretty common reason to have some spotting/brown discharge.

    @jenchoo keep an eye on it and if it comes back definitely call the dr but it sounds like you're alright if baby is still moving all around(:

    +1 for no pooping unless I fiber load, headaches, tired, my back is starting to bothering me and sleeping sucks
  • Thanks for the advice everyone. Since posting I have found some brown spots on my underwear. It definitely isn’t fresh blood and not a lot but I decided to take it easy today. I usually get about 12000 steps and today I got 1000 and watched a ton of Netflix. I’m feeling pretty blah but I think it’s from worry and not getting as much exercise as usual. Because I had so much downtime I could feel baby kicking all day long so that’s reassuring. I’m going to be at the hospital all day tomorrow for prenatal class with the hubby so I’ll ask them if the spotting doesn’t go away. Still hoping it’s nothing to be worried about!
  • @jenchoo hope the spotting stops and is no big deal!

    My skin has still been pretty sensitive and itchy lately, and random rubbing from my clothes on my bump is making my skin red and splotchy. I tried moisturizing my skin more, but it doesn’t seem to really do much. Also just generally feel
    huge and stretched lately.

    @melbo444 I get those pains when I walk for more than 5 mins these days too. My OB said it is from the weight of the baby stretching our ligaments and hips. She said to make sure I drink enough and do stretches. 
    Hopefully you are experiencing the same and nothing to worry about. A massage sounds great!

  • @SawyerRichardson I literally giggle snorted in a public place when I read your post about farting and peeing! 
  • @SawyerRichardson don't feel bad, I peed myself a little when I was jumping rope today. Whoopsie. Probably should get on those kegels at some point...
  • So I failed my GD screen pretty badly at 174. And I show low red blood cell, hemaglobin and hematocrit. Which makes me worry that I'm anemic, and I have no idea what that will mean for me during pregnancy. It probably explains why I feel so crappy.
  • @sammierose464 Sorry to hear that, that sucks! Do you have to do the 3 hour one now (I can’t rememeber exactly if this was your 1hr or 3)? Hopefully your doctor will be able to give you some good next steps so you can manage it and start feeling better. More iron may help your rbcs and hemoglobin, but I will be interested to see what your doctor recommends!

  • I did the 1hour yesterday and see my Dr on Wednesday, so we will see what he says. I almost would rather go right to modifing my diet, but I know they probably need to do the 3hr to see the full results. So not looking forward to that.

    Curious what the Dr will do about the low RBC. I have been taking guys prenatals, so they don't have iron in them.
  • Gotta have that iron, girlfriend! @sammierose464

  • @sammierose464 - Ugh. That sucks.  Hopefully your 3hr is better.  
  • chyviechyvie member
    Hopefully you pass the 3 hr. and can just modify your diet slightly... As a carb gal I know how hard it would be to cut that out.

    I'm so not looking forward to the 3 hr. I'll probably try and do it next Saturday unless my Dr says otherwise this week. Which means I'm going to take it the same day we have DHs big motorcycle party. 

    @chyvie I did it well when I was first diagnosed with PCOS. So hopefully it'll be okay this time.
  • cjx95cjx95 member
    DH and I walked around main street for a little over an hour and a half. My back is killing me, I'm in bed now trying to get as comfy as I can. Also it was still on the warm side so I sweat just enough to get the thigh rub.. there's no way I'm getting a decent night sleep tonight..
  • @coffee-saur if you are in a good non worrying place right now, try to hold onto it!  It sounds much too early to get worried and the next step (follow up test) will bring more clarity. Your reaction makes sense to me.
  • @sammierose464 I have been anemic, off and on, for most of my adult life. If you haven't taken an iron supplement before, I recommend the Blood Builders brand if your doc approves it. Iron can be super constipating especially at first, and it's a rough time to add something like that for us! But I did well with adding Blood Builders to my prenatal.
  • cjx95cjx95 member
    @coffee-saur no extra advice, just letting you know I'm thinking of you all as well, keep us posted ❤
  • @coffee-saur I agree with PP. You have enough going on, If you are currently doing well maintaining a some-what worry-free attitude, try and maintain that. It's a good sign that your dr isn't overly concerned right now.
  • chyviechyvie member
    @coffee-saur Until you have all the facts there is nothing to worry about, especially if your Dr. isn't. Glad you are taking that approach. Less stress equals a healthier mom and baby! You have enough on your plate with your mom. Which how is she doing now?

  • @coffee-saur Thinking of you and your little one! I hope it’s nothing serious and you get some answers with the follow-up ultrasound. Like others have said, it’s better for you and baby to do your best to not worry/stress yet (but for me that is always way easier said than done!).

  • @coffee-saur worrying before you have a reason to is just adding stress with no benefit. Hopefully your next ultrasound is clear, and you won’t have bothered getting worked up over nothing!

  • @coffee-saur I’m sorry you are going through this! If you’re not worrying it’s probably better! I’m an overworrier and it helps nothing. 
  • @coffee-saur like others have said, try not to worry until you know more information, and hopefully it will be nothing to worry about! 

    @sammierose464 sorry about your glucose test!  When I did mine last week, they found my hematocrit and red cells were low also, so they want me to start on an iron supplement (even though my prenatal does already contain iron). I need to go buy a supplement now, but I’m hoping it doesn’t wreak havoc on my digestion/bowel movements!

    Acid reflux is in full swing today. Also I think ive been bruising more easily lately. Noticing more bruises than normal from my dogs scratching me accidentally and from a blood draw last week. Those blood results showed my blood count to be normal. I assume this just has to do with the increased blood volume during pregnancy.

    Lightning crotch. 

    I forgot how much this sucks. 
    I started experiencing them today 27 weeks. Totally sucks and mainly occurs when I walk.  Glad I am not the only one.
