Self diagnosing going on here...help!

Ok, so its Easter and I dont want to bother my MW and the docs are closed so I am self diagnosing with the help of my mate google!

I think I had spotting....but actually only when I wiped and it was kinda pinky/orangey mucuousy. I did have one pinky brown smudge but otherwise it is mainly when I wipe.

I had a REALLY upset tum last night...gassy, diarhoea and crampy but crampy in the tummy and bowel (i'm pretty sure)

Now I have a dull ache in my lower abdomen....kinda like your bladder feels when you have held on for too long. And I am peeing heaps but not peeing much (but I am PG). No pain whilst peeing.

But....I'm wondering if the blood may be coming from my urine and that I may have a UTI which would be why my bladder area hurts and my lower back at the sides. But can you get it without the burning stinging when you pee as I definately dont have that. Nor do I have that feeling of not quite emptying.

I have put on a panty liner and not getting blood on that so to speak but almost like a water mark (TMI) which is why I wonder if it is getting diluted.

Of course, the pain could still be bowel pain. It doesnt feel like period pain so I think the paranoia is subsiding a little.

What do the Ohbaby medicals think? I am thinking of ringing my MW on Tuesday if it hasnt got better and asking for a test for UTI and also for a dating scan as I have had 3 instances of bleeding/spotting since my last AF. But I am wondering if I should be going to A/Hs if it is a UTI? But A/Hs is about 50km away.

A few years back i had a really bad UTI & had no pain while peeing, & from wot u have described sounds the same(although i wasn't pregnant then)
Try sum cranberry juice, that seems 2 help, or maybe if u hav a chemist close, give them a call.
& if ur still in pain 2moro, give ur m/w a call, thats wot they r ther 4!
Gud luck, hope u feel better soon

Ohh, that ural stuff is gross, but works wonders!!

Well I rang healthline and they said I should go to Docs tonight so I called the duty Doc and she came down to meet me at the clinic. Def blood in urine but not sure on infection. So had discussion about pros and cons of Abs and she decided we should wait and see. But just before I left she took my temp and we were both shocked to find it was 38.2! So that changed everything and I am now on Abs and had to get the pharmacist in as well. All in all, I am pretty impressedwith our towns health services. and the cost? $50 for doc and $3 for meds. Not bad!

yep they are quite a bright yellow. Thanks for the warning!

Not so sorted afterall. Just had a bath and then a proper "investigation" the blood is definately coming from you know where

I'm preparing for the worst

Is there any point in bothering her though? If it is a MC you cant stop it and if it isnt then there is nothing to worry about right now.

I rang the GP again. She is so lovely. She will see me tomorrow but I am to ring her tonight at anytime if a) I am worried or b) I bleed with severe pain (ectopic I guess) .

Just been reading old posts and read about Jennz bleeds and feel more optimistic!

Dont really have pain other than mildly gassy feeling.

Thanks emma

Hope it is just a random bleed
