TMI post..
Recently when I've been going to the bathroom, I can smell period blood.. I know that sounds crazy as I'm not bleeding, but it's the same smell as when I'm on my period.. has anyone else had this, and what does it mean? 🤕🤕
thanks in advance
Oh I see in which case they worked lol my iron levels are that high on nothing there always high tho.
no it was low before, was around 8, but that was a few weeks ago, with the iron tablets it's 14.8 @suzie80
@kmcf2302, I am on iron tablets but my iron is 14.8 each time, so I don't know if it could be that really x
@suzie80 , I guess I could just ignore it so to speak
No I've had 4 babies and you get used to certain stuff as u go along. I was scanned today all is well. I recently had a swab and urine done and all fine and bloods fine. Just normal pregnancy smells
Could be an iron deficiency ... Usually when you taste/smell any kind of blood or metal it means you are lacking in iron... I think it's iron anyway xx
Yeah @winterbaby95 that's why I worried, it's normally like a day before, it's sometime how I used to know to put a pad in ready, which is why it's started to worry me, and I got tested yesterday for UTI's and there is nothing there, it was all fine, so I don't know what to do. baby is moving fine, so I don't think I'm worried about him, it's just worrying me that I can smell it xx
did you seek advice @suzie80
I get that smell before I come on my period...its weird...hmm I dont know hun..I would just keep on the look out for anything unusual xx
I dare not ask my midwife anything at the moment, she's so rude! I've switched care from Darlington to Durham, so there being horrible with me as they don't see why I won't give birth with them @kelsxox xx
oh wow 🙈hopefully it's something different and he stays cooking! maybe we should ask our midwives instead lol xx
was a bit worried about it as my auntie said she smelt it a few weeks before labour started, as it was her cervix getting ready 😲 I'm only 32 tomorrow, but he already tried to come at 25 weeks 😭 I need him to stay put! @kelsxox xx
That's good though @suzie80
