  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Well I had a bit of a freak out the other day with some brown spotting, but it has stopped and there wasn't that much of it. But, I was playing around with a doppler and couldn't find the baby's hb even after 10 minutes! I found mine ok, but not the bubs. So I am going back to the Dr on Wed arvo, I will get the results from my last scan, and hopefully will be able to organise my next one and my apt with the midwife clinic.

I also got my finger out and made an apt with my endocrinologist. So I will see him about my thyroid in two weeks.
I have also arranged to get my script for my B12 injection so can have that done at the Dr on Wed. Hopefully he will check the hb when I am there. I haven't been to this doc while preg before so not sure what his procedures are.

Anyway I hope that everything is still ok, even though I couldn't hear the hb, I have read that it is really difficult to find, and the widwife on last night said that she always has trouble finding it at 15 weeks., it is still really early.

It's Very hard to find the heartbeat before 12- 15 weeks. One time out of all these kids did we hear it at about 8 weeks, but that midwife was Jamming the doppler down into my pubic bone area and it wasn't so comfortable. lol

Brown discharge means old blood. So it could have easily been from being intimate with your DH, or just just old stuff near your cervix. The only time you Really have to worry is if it's bright red.

I just went and bought myself a maternity top, like a singlet top type thing to go under my work shirt (when I get one!) for when I am bigger, but it fits me ok now, and will grow with me.
I also bought come capri pants that also fit me now, but I have some room for expansion!

I bought a couple of tops mail order that have arrived today, hubby has them at work, I can't wait til he brings them home!
It is hard at this point, my normal shirts are riding up in front, but I'm not quite big enough for maternity, unless I get the stretchy type material.

I don't think I was this size with DD until I was 20+ weeks.
