I am so over this fear. I was looking in the mirror getting ready and thinking that it look like my boobs are smaller than they were last time I wore this shirt (a week ago) so logically that means I am having a mmc right? never mind the fact that I am incredibly nauseated and exhausted. but am I as exhausted and nauseated as a few days ago? I feel like I am losing my fucking mind. (pardon my language) not too mention all the cramps last night. ugh.

I was just analyzing the size of my boobs yesterday morning too. You're not alone.

I have a specific pair of jeans that had started to feel small around 8w during my last pregnancy. I have a vivid memory of putting them on on the day I was to get my 9.5w scan and feeling a "huh" moment when they fit with extra space. We found out that afternoon that we had a MMC and the baby likely passed a week prior. Now every time I put jeans on I'm constantly analyzing how the feel. It's annoying/sad/stressful.

ellabee hugs. it is stressful, and annoying and unfair.

[bepandnick]

Team over analyzing everything too. It fucking sucks. ((Hugs)) ashtog and ellabee

I'm so sorry irish14 .

I am doing metronidazole gel for a suspected yeast infection/bacterial vaginosis (mind you the urgent care center at the ER I went to didn't do a culture or anything, they just gave me meds and sent me on my way) and I've been spotting since I started the meds and I started getting red streaks earlier this evening.

My OB office opens at 8 AM, so I'm trying really hard to make it until then and do a walk-in. They have a same day clinic for people who don't have appointments. I haven't even done my intake appointment. Logically, I know I know going to the ER isn't the right solution, but it's the only thing open right now (it's 1 am), and I should actually be sleeping during the day. (I work nights now). I really wish they had done a culture when I was there the first time.

*disclaimer: I'm active duty military, so if something is up, and the OB clinic is not open, you are literally told to go to the ER no matter what it is.

[ashtog]

tex ((hugs)) did you go to the er? I would if you're supposed to be sleeping days.

[tex]

ashtog I am actually getting ready to go to my clinic. I don't have to be at work until 9:30 at night so as long as it doesn't take forever, I'll be good.

[ashtog]

tex that's good. Please update us when you can.

I just started spotting again. Brown and also some pink and I'm having light cramps. I had some cramps after I had an orgasm last night, and then a little this morning and now spotting and I'm freaking out a little

[ashtog]

And I'm still in my newborn shoot cramping and spotting. I know this happens, and it's happened to me too, even earlier in this pregnancy,but it's really sending my mind into overdrive right now.

[tex]

So the triage nurse said that the spotting is normal with this type of medication. If it or the discharge doesn't get better before my intake appointment next week, then I need to let my nurse know.

Oh and I will be doing the 1 hour glucose test next week since I had GD last pregnancy. Joy.

FWIW when I had red spotting my last pregnancy, it was after having really intense cramping after orgasm. It was enough to make me not want to have sex again, but all was fine. Sex can totally cause spotting!

[ashtog]

rinny the logical side of me knows this, I've bled and spotted and all of it and had no problems. But the pgal brain has me scared to go pee. I still check the tp every time and I was so shocked to see something. And now I feel guilty for not feeling more connected.

[rinny]

ashtog I know the feeling. Definitely don't feel guilty. Hugs, lady.

[ashtog]

Well still a little brown when I wipe, still light cramps. But nothing on my pad. So that's good right?

[pibblemom]

ashtog ((hugs)) so sorry you're going through this
