Still bleeding, but hopeful

I have been bleeding for 24 hours now. That is a lot longer than I did with Champ. Over the 24 hours I have probably lost a bit over a tablespoon of blood. I only notice it when I wipe in the bathroom, it is not enough to actually hit the pad.

I called my family birthing centre where I am booked in, and they said to come in only if I have pad-fulls of blood, pain or cramping. As I have had none of these, I am still worried, but not in overdrive.

Also, I don't know if this is a cruel joke or a source of hope, but I have been feeling a bit of nausea. Not as much as I did at the morning sickness peak last time, but I do recall a slow build up to that level.

The midwife when I called said that the sickness is a very positive thing because it means my hormone levels are high. She offered that it could be implantation bleeding, but I didn't think that normally happened so late. I though it to be around the time of a missed period. But, even at 5.5 weeks, I am clinging to the hope that this one is just nestling in to Mummy's uterus now.
