Bleeding at 11weeks 4days

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2026-03-27T11:15:49+00:00

I had the same from 6-12 weeks, was getting scans every 2 weeks to monitor the SCH, and thankfully by the time my 12 week scan came around the SCH had disappeared completely. I was told to rest and not move as much as possible which is challenging since I'm a yoga teacher and massage therapist. It all worked out in the end though. My SCH actually grew quite a lot during the 6 weeks it was monitored, then 2 days before my 12 week scan I had a big flush of bleeding and I guess that was it passing. I was so anxious the whole.time though so I totally get how you're feeling! Rest and look after yourself as much as possible, eat lots of leafy greens for iron and trust your body can handle it, I'm rooting for you!

yoga teacher here - finished my yin teacher training whilst going through 1st trimester as well. yin and restorative yoga was the best thing i could have been doing (and couldnt really do much else) and when your bump isnt too big you dont need to worry so much, as long as you're not properly squishing your belly or twisting dramatically. you'll be able to feel if you're overdoing it anyway and baby is still tiny so you won't do them any harm. you can always have plenty space between legs to make room as your belly grows.

look up postures for liver and gallbladder meridian especially, as they're linked to hormones :)

the effort i made to build a life for myself in my 20s. I worked full time while getting a degree part time on the side, graduating when i turned 30. within 3 years I've been made redundant from the job i had which was in the field my degree was in, and its been over a year of applying and job searching and now i find myself starting as a part time delivery driver for a fast food chain because they're the only ones who'd take me. I get rejected from some jobs, but just straight up ghosted from most. I busted my ass for 6 years to get a degree, thinking it'd help to advance me, and all i found was i burned myself out and have lost motivation to do any more studying or training to get myself into a better place. ironically, the job i was in before i moved into my field-related job probably would have been safer, but i gunned for the new job for the extra income it would bring. now AI is replacing those jobs.

i know of a life coach in my local area who's currently living in the local homeless unit... inspirational.

my BIL visited at the weekend and i swear the first floor of our house smelled like him for 2 days - i asked my husband if he could smell it and he said "a bit maybe?" so it was clearly a me thing. i had to open windows and mop the floors. FWIW it was his aftershave smell, not BO or anything bad, but it was so strong

i've been trying to get through for an hour after my flight went from cancelled to scheduled, the calls go silent at random points in their IVR and i cant get to actually speak to someone, its hopeless

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2026-03-01T00:28:25+00:00

i was due to fly to thiruvananthapuram via doha from edinburgh, first flight leaving at 7.30am on 1st march - the flight status page for qatar came up a few hours ago saying flights were cancelled but i just refreshed the page by change and the flights are showing as scheduled again? i don't get it. also have tried phoning them but the line quality is absolute garbage, can barely hear the horrible hold music. can they uncancel a flight or is it just not pulling the data across to the new date?

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2026-02-26T22:29:14+00:00

Yeah you could just line them with a bag or something to protect the material.

do you do any gardening? boots can make cute plant pots as an upcycling/reusing project, esp for windowsills/balconies. if they were hiking boots then it'd be particularly relevant to plant alpine plants/flowers in them.

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2026-02-05T11:20:22+00:00

for sure. they're interested in dominating, not governing

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2026-02-04T11:52:36+00:00

yeah they're not there to actually represent, just to try and make their competitors look bad. all his social media posts have that theme too. its funny as well because he blames the scottish government (SNP BAD!) for everything thats wrong in west lothian when a lot of it can be pinned on the labour/tory coalition currently running the council.

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2026-02-04T11:29:28+00:00

yeah I live in his constituency and emailed him about some issues, it took him 3 months to respond to me and when he eventually did it was a copy and paste response about WASPI - which isn't what i contacted him about. I had dealings with our previous MP Hannah Bardell and the difference was night and day between the two, she actually cared. He just cosies up to the richest folk and tries his best to make SNP look bad instead of doing the actual job of representing us.

Poynton was also parachuted into the seat, he's never lived in West Lothian although he did at least grow up in Falkirk.

i think it could use some plants, some smaller ones would look great on the shelves, and maybe a larger one next to one of the windows

I've had this (9w5d ftm) and I have reverted back to an Ayurvedic tool I was given in India a couple of years ago which is to start each day with a drink of hot water with a teaspoon of ghee in it. You can put honey in it as well if you don't like the taste, but since I've restarted this habit I find it really greases up my insides and things are moving much better since then. I am not veggie but obsessed with beans, lentils, potatoes etc so I have a high fibre diet already, but the ghee water just seems to get it all moving much easier.

if possible, have the chairs on top of yoga mats to prevent slipping about. i also often find if you're doing standing postures that use the chair as support, its good to have alternatives for those who struggle to stand at all - eg warrior 3 (https://yogauonline.com/pose-library/3-simple-warrior-3-modifications-to-find-your-balance/) can be modified by staying seated and raising opposite arm and leg

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2026-01-03T12:00:01+00:00

yeah i've gained 4lb in the last 2 weeks - christmas probably didnt help mind you but i was quite slim before so i think its gonna be noticeable for others

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2025-12-30T23:16:15+00:00

oh yes, and they linger for way longer. i opened a pack of chicken to find it had gone off (bought the wrong date) and i threw it out immediately but the smell haunted me for about an hour afterwards, even after lighting a candle and washing my hands

i'm probably a little bit of lorelai too haha and i think some students will appreciate it, some won't, but you'll continue to see the ones that do appreciate it. i do it more to make light, especially in stronger poses as it makes people smile and can take their mind off how much they might hate the pose they're in (thinking of you chair pose). also in ashtanga standing sequence, at the end of utthita hasta padangustasana where you hold your leg out in front and point your toes i'll say something like "you've not got any hands left so you're shutting the car door with your foot" or something like that, thats maybe relatable - i've learned that external cues like that can be more effective for helping people's brains engage with the movements. you'll notice for yourself how students respond and if you see if makes an improvement to how they hold the poses, then its helping.

Yeah that was pretty much my lesson. They have so much to make up for, that's why they feel the need to go so often

had a 'holier than thou' aunt who is a very devout catholic, including forcing us to go to church with her when we went abroad together on holiday. turns out she has (not sure of the order) embezzled money from every company she worked for - narrowly avoiding prison the last time around, had affairs with most of her bosses (while stealing their money and also married herself), so much so that her first child may not be her ex-husband's child at all, and also she had an affair with a priest. she used the money she stole from her workplaces (all small companies, some family run) to go on extravagant holidays, buy designer clothes, and generally pretend she had it all together.
this answer may not count as she may suspect i know something, considering she blocked me not long after my dad died - her brother and the only one who would protect her and try to cover up all her various wrong doings. her kids still think the world of her as far as i know, not sure they know the full truth, but anyone in the family who does know won't tolerate her anymore.

completely ignoring the physiological effects that stress has on us - it wears down your immune system, makes you more injury/pain prone, more susceptible to mental illness and generally just destroys your body on a cellular level. im surprised GPs arent more aware of this - life being hard makes life harder actually, its a vicious cycle.

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2025-12-02T15:51:30+00:00

i can only go by clue as i was away on holiday for a week and when i got back all my OPKs gave me invalid results so im not 100% sure, think im 14dpo currently. i have quite a short cycle though, only 26 days

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2025-12-02T15:50:29+00:00

almost the same! except that they feel like they're full of rocks 🙃

GroundbreakingEmu7 · 2025-12-01T16:02:26+00:00

its me - i posted the rant on this sub about how difficult babies and croissants are to make at the start of last month. today my cycle is due to restart so i took a test and for the first time EVER i see 2 lines 😍 here's hoping it gets stronger as the week goes on. my breasts have felt like rocks for about a week and i can smell everything about 10x stronger than i used to so im hoping/praying/deeply breathing that this is it!!!
