It is possible to lose your mucus plug at anytime during pregnancy - a few of my friends have been losing it since 13/14 weeks right up until the end.
I'd say if you're worried and bleeding you should get checked out, they can do an emergency scan to check everything is OK. Better than sitting and worrying.
The Heath University Hospital in Cardiff was quite good when my Grandpa was ill although obviously don't know what their maternity bit is like. Is there anyway you could get there? I hope everything is ok for you Mandy x
I've never heard of a hospital refusing to give out emergency ultrasounds if mother is in discomfort/bleeding/possible miscarriage - because they need to check for ectopic and any other problems going on so you yourself aren't at risk.
It's too early to stop a miscarriage, however they would still need to take every precaution to make sure you as the mother are safe.
If you phone NHS Direct they will advise you and probably inform the hospital themselves, or even phone out of hours doctors.
i've already had 2 scan they know it's not ectopic. the problem is their 'emergency scans' are calssed as early pregnancy who are mon-fri 9-5, and then pregnancy assessment who run the same hours. the early pregnancy you need appointments for, the others you can have appointments for like routine growth scans or if you don't feel baby move you can ring them up and they'll slot you in.
they don't do emergency pregnancy scans. emergency gyn scans ie for ectopic pregnancies etc are a different matter.
anyhow the bleeding has stopped.
i don't know if the heath would see me as im already under the care of the gwent, so it's easier to see the same team. both midwife and dr said on the phone nothing can be done unless the bleeding gets heavy or i start having pains too, even then it's just to monitor the miscarriage (assume if i get bleeding ad pain it's more than likely a miscarriage) to make sure it is complete.
so yeah i'll see my midwife tomorrow because i already have an appointment with her and see what they say. the bleeding has completley gone, so don't know what it was....

hey girls, midwife couldn't take blood for my down's screen, she stabbed me twice and failed... its the ditzy one who i don't trust - so hope i don't get stuck with her at my birth, in the room next door a midwife who goes to my church was covering clinic... i was only one off from seeing her, she's good with my veins too.
i had glucose in my urine and the midwife said since the bleeding stopped so suddenly it was probably 'something and nothing' and did nothing else...
she said if it happens again and is more severe, she can refer me to a gyn ward, but they'd likely just do an examination to check the neck of the womb was still closed.
she told me that 'emergecny scans' are under 2 different places, 'early pregnancy' which sees people between 4 and 14 weeks pregnant, and 'pregnancy assessment' which is 20 weeks+. Both are mon-fri 9-5 and you need appointments before 30 weeks. So yeah, not helpful.
good luck tomorrow anna, and sam hope you are ok with the result.

awwwww that video brings back memories!!! the wobbly walking!!!! she's too cute for words!
Madeleine had a party on Saturday, which went really well. And yesterday was just normal but with more cake than usual. Daddy was at work so we didn't really celebrate at all yesterday. She did have a trampoline when she came down the stairs in the morning though, she loves it!
So I'm having a baby....
Couple of weeks til I have my dating scan...scared out of my head something will be wrong...but weirdly calm with it too??
Lots of people already know - too many really.
no idea why i'm telling y'all this...
Guess I wanted someone to talk to coz its like the thing I've wanted most in the world ever, but coz my other half is a girl we had to use a donor & it was weird arranging it with a stranger, but it worked first time - never thought that it would - & now the thing that I wanted most in the world is here & what if I can't do it, be a mum? or want if things go wrong? I know I can't think like that & i've been real good so far, but the closer the dating scan gets the more scared I am you know & the person I would normally go to about this 'emotional' stuff outside of my partner seems to be hating me for being pregnant or something I don't know so...yeah.
Can't wait til the scan is done then I'll be able to get proper excited & tell everyone properly... I know things can still go wrong & everything - but just that extra knowledge that there's a heart beat & stuff is going to help...only 11 days to wait!!
Anyway yeah...random sharing over... xxx
freyja will be a year old on sunday, i cant believe it.
