I started having some spotting this evening.  Nothing heavy but things also feel a bit off all of a sudden.   I'm trying to rest and take it easy.  I talked to one of my midwives and she said to just keep my Tuesday appointment and see what happens.

I'm trying not to freak out but I'm pretty worried.

Lurking from the November DDC, but I wanted to say that I am thinking good thoughts for you and your little bean. I hope it's nothing serious and you get some good news on Tuesday.

Will keep you and your LO in my thoughts and prayers.

I feel your pain and worry. I have been spotting inconsistently since getting pregnant. It has gotten more frequent and a tiny bit more in amount. It is tiny pinpoint size spots of blood, but yesterday it was also pink larger spots.... I was convinced I was having a miscarriage, but then it went away. 10-15% of pregnant women do this normally and my DH did some research and found it is more common with twin pregnancies (eeeeek). I have been upset and stressed, but feel peace after being in church today. I hope that peace lasts!! I will pray for you.

Stay stuck little baby!

Take it easy, hopefully its nothing big.

[Babinogi]

I am thinking of you and hope for the best.  Hopefully it's nothing - just growing and stretching.  Get plenty of rest and I will meditate on a very sticky bean for you!

Big Hug!

Thanks ladies.  Yesterday went okay.  I pretty much stayed in bed except to get food/water and go to the bathroom.  Last night I had a good deal of pain but it didn't really seem like cramping.  By the time I woke up this morning it was gone and I was thinking it was just gas except I had a bit more spotting.  This time it was just little threads but much brighter red than they had been before but there really wasn't much.....so of course I'm worried all over again.  Tomorrow afternoon's appointment can not come soon enough!

I'll be keeping you and your sticky bean in my thoughts today. But it shouldn't be too much to worry about. I've been spotting on and off, too and my midwife isn't worried. She put me on extra progesterone early on and that stopped it for the most part, but I still spot after sex. Depending on how far along you are, the placenta may be taking over and your progesterone may be decreasing which is normal, but that may cause a little bleeding. I hope that's all it is! *hugs* Good luck tomorrow!

Sending lots of good thoughts for you today.

I met with the midwife today and she thinks things look good and isn't too concerned about the spotting since it has been light and she was happy with the way things were in the pelvic exam.  I also got to hear the heartbeat which was wonderful and strong.  So, I'm off bed rest now which is a relief.  We also shared the news with ds today and he is really excited.  He's telling everyone that "Mama's having a baby really soon."  We keep having to explain that it will be a while before mama has the baby.  I think I'll probably start taking him to my appointments after this, but since we were worried about whether or not there would be bad news we decided he should stay with DH today instead.

Thanks for all the support and positive sticky thoughts over the past few days.  I am so so relieved and hoping that there won't be too much more spotting now.
