hhhm what’s happening?

Hey ladies - have been feeling a bit off lately in the last few weeks and having quite regular painful cramps, and had begun to get a little worried as this was how i felt before i found out that i was having Ayja. I was seriously freaking about it really because I know we had a little incident where we weren't quite as "careful" as we could have been - about 8 or 9 weeks ago now, and about 2 weeks later i had to hold ayja still while she had an xray... (am now seriously worried if i WAS preggers what on earth would the xray do to baby!? ) anyway this morning when there was a little blood i thought "yayayay! maybe it has just been a build up to my period starting again" since i haven't had one since having ayja. but hello - still only very light spots and seems to be tapering off. It is worrying me a bit because last time after Paris i got my period back totally normal from the word go. has anyone else had this? it's so weird for me and annoying too, i am a little freaked out and worried about the whole situation but don't feel that i can tell mike or anyone in my family - cos if i am pregnant again (please no...) they will all be annoyed with me, plus i do not know how the xray will have affected the baby. I just don't feel i can confide in any one about my worries and use them as a sounding board... so thought i'd ask your opinions... hey, that's what the boards are for right?

yep i totally agree with Lou about the X-rays. Very little risk and take a test its the only way to put your mind at rest. Re the spotting. Ive had 2 periods since having Jayde one normal and then one i had spotting off and on over a period of 4 days and i thought huh whats going on here then it came on the fifth day. Good luck.   

Totally agree - do the pregnancy test, its the only way to know for sure. And with the x-ray thing - probably stressing over nothing. You'd be like me and stress about things like that, that you know a little but not enuf about - silly med training!

Good luck

or you can be in denial like me!

well one xray can't have done any more damage than the 16 weeks of drinking i did before i found out i was pregnant with hannah

don't stress too much about it janine... even if it is pregnancy then you can't blame yourself! but take the test before anything... put your mind at ease

One xray can't have done any more damage than what I did to Kiya:
- approx. 9 weeks: rolled a car, totalling it and receiving deep tissue bruises across my shoulder and tummy from the seatbelt
- approx. 10 weeks: had a breast lump removed while under general anaesthetic
- until approx. 17 weeks: lots and lots of drinking
- approx. 20 weeks: found out I was pregnant
