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? ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Well there is only one way to put your mind at rest - take a pregnancy test. It will proberly come back negative and you will have nothing to worry about. If you are pregnant I think the risk factors a fairly low early in pregnancy. I did a search on google when I found out I was pregnant as I had had dental xrays. I hope you get the answer you want. ------------- Mother to two beautiful children - Sophie age 6 and Ephraim age 4 |

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. ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

| well, i'm once again the wrong person to ask if you are hoping NOT to be pregnant, as you probably remember me asking about periods a few months back. i got spotting...and "hello"...B@ is due in january. My advice is to do the test...dont' think "if you leave it alone, it will go away", as that doesn't happen. the sooner you know, the more 'options' you have, whatever your choice. i hope the result is what you want!!! |

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  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Janine I hope all goes well, I have had only one period since Blake, and I felt crampy and abit yucky a few days before I got it and I was due again 7 days ago and still none, we have been pretty careful so I think it's just taking a while to get back to normal!,I knew straight away with Paige and Blake that I was pregnant. But take a test to set your mind at ease.
I hope you get good news! Karen. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

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

Take the test! Better to know than not know! Your period coming back could be different this time to with Paris too coz you are fully breastfeeding which makes a big difference.
About the xrays tho, I was with Mona when she had a CT scan, and then had a heap of xrays of my arm taken and a chest xray the week before I found out I was having Maya (also had a general anasthetic, 7 days of IV cephlosporins and some pretty serious painkillers) as I had a nasty abscess in my arm that I had to have surgically drained, and then it wouldn't heal. I was so worried when I found out I was preg what it might have done to her, but the district nurse who was changing my arm dressing said pretty bluntly "If it's hurt the baby you will probably miscarry anyway". Not so reassuring, but made me feel a bit better, and then once I had a scan we knew she was fine. Good luck! And I'm sure Mike will be supportive either way... -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

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 ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Janine, I felt fairly similar to what you describe, and I also thought I might have been pregnant, but it was my body sorting itself out again and my periods starting after having Josiah. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |
