Hi Kay, 

sorry you are having to go through this worry when you are pregnant. 
I am bit older than you but have a teenage daughter so understand how worried you are. 
I went to Gp with bright red bleeding, discomfort and constipation a few weeks ago and am having a colonoscopy later today ( I also suffer from bouts of acid reflux/ indigestion pain and have done for a few years) 

although I’m not in exactly same situation as you I just wanted to reply, I will come back once I’ve had my results and hopefully I will get good news and can put your mind at rest a little bit. 

Take care x 

Thanks so much for replying, I’m so worried I’m struggling to eat and sleep. I hope your colonoscopy goes well and you get reassuring results x

I can imagine exactly how you are feeling, I have been the same in terms of not being able to sleep and having zero appetite. I’ve hardly managed to eat anything other than toast, yogurts and pancakes for last 3 weeks which then plays havoc with trying to figure out if weight loss/ tummy discomfort is due to lack of food or something else! 
I know it’s almost impossible to do but try your best to eat when you can, especially as you have a wee baby on board. X 

I promise I’ll come back on here and let you know what happens with me today. X 

Thank you it’s comforting knowing someone else knows how I feel. My husband has been making me protein shakes so I’m getting some calories but I’m just struggling with actual food! Good luck for today, will you get your results straight away? I hear the prep for colonoscopy is the worst part x 

Thinking of you, hope everything went okay! X 

Hi, 

It all went great, thanks so much for asking. 
I have inflammation and also some internal haemorrhoids which have been the source of bleeding. 
No polyps or biopsies required. 
I am so relieved and feeling very lucky and thankful. 

honestly try and not worry too much, I know it’s so much easier said than done but I think that lack of food, sleep and stress and worry made all my symptoms worse. 

I hope you get appointment through soon and that you have the same experience as me, I’ll keep a wee check on this thread to see how you are getting on or if you have any Q about colonoscopy or prep if you end up having one. 
xx 

Hi glad to hear it went well its such a relief isn't it ,now you can relax and get on with living ,I felt exactly the same well done x

Oh that’s brilliant news I’m so relieved for you! Thanks for coming back to let me know. My doctor said if I don’t hear from the colorectal team next too I have to let her know, so hopefully I will speak to them soon. I will take your advice and try and put it to the back of my mind until my appointment!  I’m so pleased for you! You’ll have to find some way to celebrate xx 

Thanks Jenny, yes honestly felt like the weight of the world was lifted on my shoulders when I walked out the hospital. 
it’s definitely made me focus on looking after myself a bit better from now on! 
thanks again x
