Whilst the wife is resting I wanted to share something...
Well where do I start. Firstly hope everyone is doing well, I'd just like to share our experience ( not that we hope to repeat again hopefully) since this group has always shown great support.
So as most of you will know.... the wife is 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant after a FET done in January, all has been going really well.
So this afternoon, got the usual lunchtime hello, how's your day going love" call from the wife, only this time it was the most frightening call I've ever received from her.... with a tremor in her voice, she had told me that she had a heavy bleed and was distraught, at this point, I was thinking the worst, but remained calm, and she told me her PA had called the ambulance as she was in no fit condition to go A&E herself as the wife was in alot of pain.
Ambulance arrived, took blood pressure which was normal...
So we ended up in A&E and after several hours of waiting around, with allsorts going around in her head, and mine too. We eventually got to see the early pregnancy unit consultant. Who told us they would be doing a scan...
My heart at this point was pounding a thousand beats, whilst trying to remain calm and being there my beautiful wife......
And finally we got told whilst the consultant performed the scan "there's your little one waving and kicking and everything is fine "... those very words and the moment I saw him or her on the monitor, we both wer so happy.
It just so happened the bleeding, although rare can sometimes happen due to old blood vessels
( I could get more technical but won't)
Wowsa, what an experience we have had today. Although we are going through NHS and Dispite the bad press they tend to get. Today just proved to me, how privileged we should all feel that we have that service.
Thank you all for your continued support and taking time to read this post. I hope everyone else is doing just fine

Oh sanj what a day, I was reading this with my breath held (I just realised!) so so relieved everything is ok but how frightening for you both..you're so right about the NHS, it's amazing! Hoping there's no more days like this 😳 x
Oh no I'm so sorry you've both had such a terrible day. Such a worry and my heart was racing reading your post so I can't even begin to imagine how you both felt.
So pleased your little one is well and I hope you and your wife can have a very quiet and calm weekend to recover from today. Take care of each other xx
How scary to say the least. Really hope you don't have to go through that again. So glad your little one is fine and best wishes that the remainder is happy and healthy and stress free xx
Wow, I was holding my breath while reading this, just like Georgina, thinking please be ok! What a rollercoaster day for you both. So pleased everything was ok, both of you have a relaxing weekend xx
Wow glad all on track and hope the wife gets plenty rest as you, a weekend to treat yourself dads to be! Chin chin to you for being so brilliant 🤗💪🏽☀️☀️☀️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I'm so glad everything turned out fine and it's good of you to share. Bleeding is most certainly one of the most terrifying things to experience during pregnancy and I'm happy to hear NHS looked after your wife so efficiently. I personally have been care of by NHS with warmth and professionalism, and feel grateful to have had such experiences. I'm thinking of you all and hope all continues stress-free and without such frightening incidents from now on! Lots of positive thoughts your way xoxo
Gosh, what a roller coaster of emotions for you both!
I'm so glad that the outcome was so positive after that horrendous worry and yes, though we sometimes complain we are really very lucky to have the NHS.
Hopefully the rest of your journey will go smoothly. X
So glad everything is okay for you, I know how frightening it can be to have a heavy bleed. How lovely that your little one was waving to you, saying 'hey dad I'm still here!' Xx
Glad to hear everything is ok, I too had bleeding and it was truly one of the scariest things after getting so far. Currently 20weeks and going strong. Hope you guys have a uneventful rest of pregnancy xx
What a traumatic experience for you both. Im glad everything worked out for you both and wish you a smooth journey for the rest of the pregnancy. Fingers and toes crossed xxx
Ohhh what a scare. I was holding my breath reading your story 😲Glad all is well. My love to you wife and bump. Glad NHS has come through. Im not a massive fan of the public health sector as you know...but glad they have proved me wrong in your instance xxx
Yeah good. Met the NHS midwife on Tuesday she was so so...dont think we'll be best buddies lol. Waiting for my 12 wks scan now. 11 wks tomorrow. Partner has been working non stop he works away from home,so when he finally came home I decided to throw a massive tantrum and rip one of our scan picturs😲!I know not my finest hour but we all go a little nuts at time 😦xx
