[MagicalCreatures]

Hi girls.
Was sitting at home being lazy so thought I’d start a new thread for ya’ll.
Well done for noticing Rachie

Magicalcreatures you can have lactulose and docusate or if you have a nice non pregnant assistant then glycerin suppositories (they don't sell them to preggers but used in hospitals). The type of medicine also depends on the type of constipation you have e.g. docusate won't make you go, just softens.

Oh god I'm such an idiot.

Having spent this morning sobbing because I haven't felt sick for a couple of days so obviously that means everything has Gone Wrong, I then find out that the pharmacy don't have my prescription for anti-sickness pills so I need to make the ones I have stretch from Sunday afternoon until Monday when I can contact the GP and cry at them No worries, thinks I. I am hardly feeling sick any more.

Yeah, that was BECAUSE OF THE TABLETS YOU NUMPTY. I've been sick three times this evening. Now taken another tablet (only 3 left now) and am praying it kicks in soon.

@emwithme my nausea varies from really awful to not sick at all. I’m alternately miserable and worried I’m not miserable. Suppose it’s to be expected after recurrent losses.

@Paranormalbouquet that is precisely it, I said to DH this morning that I've been expecting things to go wrong for 6 weeks now (am 10+2). I think I may start enjoying it when we get past a successful 12 week scan - I've never been that pregnant before.

Am now tucked up in bed with the mop bucket beside me just in case and the GirlCat on the chest of drawers looking after me from a distance.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

I've got the whole trapped wind thing going on... I'm lying in bed and cannot get comfy at all 😖.... just rolling about like a lemon 😂 XX

Hi everyone, just some advice please! I'm 10wks and last night started getting a little bleeding really dark brown today it went but started up again this evening so I went to a&e and have been referred for an early scan but urine shows no infection and I was told not to worry and to rest.
Should I be worried? I am worrying and I don't know how long it will take to be contacted for a scan?! Also would you take time off work with the making sure I rest advice?

Morning ladies and congrats new joiners.
I'm pretty sure I'll be the next to leave the thread which is extra sad because I started it on thread 1!

Yesterday was the worst I have experienced. I've had two mc's before but this was something else. Contraction like pain all day coming and going, until it didn't go and eventually around 7pm I passed a big clot, enough to be the lining of my womb (sorry if tmi). Although smaller than you might expect for 10weeks so I think this was missed mc, I'd had a heartbeat at 6.4 probably died soon after that. Lots of bleeding since then but thankfully the pain has eased to a standard ache/cramp.

I can't fathom anything being found on the scan tomorrow, I'm simply hoping now that's it's classed as completed with no complications.

Thinking of you @cleozeta and really hope you have a less painful process xxx

I wanted to ask is anyone on here that was labelled with recurrent miscarriage ie 3 in a row that might want to chat about what happened next? My gp already said I'd be sent to a gynaecologist if I lost this one.

Poor DH, he doesn't know what to do or how to feel. Thankfully we're both of work tomorrow. I'm not sure I know how to comfort him completely, it was his baby too put he's putting all the focus on me xx

Sorry @liane15 just seen your post please don't be alarmed by mine. Brown spotting is very very normal but if you start to feel pain if any sort go straight back so they can rule anything out. I expect you'll get a scan next week from your early pregnancy unit Xxx

So so sorry Yukka. Thinking of you, that must've been horrendous. Big hug x

Hi @Yukka thank you for your reply. Does make me feel a little better still worried though. So sorry to hear about your experience hope all is well at your scan!

@Yukka oh hun that sounds so distressing for you. I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Again.
Thinking of you x x x

Hello All.

Firstly I'm so sorry for your sad losses and worrying times. And so happy for all the good news too. This really is a rollacoster.

I'm 8 weeks today having spent the last week in spain with OH. I'm bloated with a massive belly and windy and occasionally queesy but other than that well.

Worried by my lack of symptoms and just how massive I am!

@yukka, im gonna keep my fingers and toes crossed. Thinking of you

@Yukka I've had 3 losses in a row (5 weeks, 5 weeks and MMC picked up at 9 weeks and finally had ERPC on the day of my 12 week scan). Been referred to RMC, referral got lost in March so appointment has just come through for late may. As I find myself pregnant again not sure there's any point in going if I'm still pregnant by the appointment date. I've got my booking appointment next Saturday so I'll ask the midwife what she thinks. In my case losses are almost certainly related to adhesions which are clearly visible in my lower uterus; had an emcs 4 years ago followed by severe infection which caused them. I am taking high dose folic acid and low dose aspirin, GP was happy to prescribe as shouldn't cause harm.

I'm sorry you are going through this, it's awful and cruel. It's been a very dark time for me; I can't get excited about this pregnancy at all. Do join the RMC thread, everyone is so supportive there.

Yukka I'm so sorry your going thru such a traumatic experience, I can't even begin to imagine 😢💐
I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you
And sending massive amounts of love and hugs to both you and your OH... stay strong and try to keep your chin up (easier said than done I know)
Sending Lots of love & squishes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks everyone you are a lovely bunch and great support. @paranormal I think I have found the thread thank you

Xx

Yukka I am so sorry you had to go through that, it sounds awful, I hope the scan tomorrow is the best you can hope for at this time.

I had a very painful experience on Friday night, strong contractions for a fair few hours, and some bleeding with a few small clots. Then the cramping stopped the next day, and since then I feel almost normal. No more cramping and not much bleeding. The thing that really worries me is that I didn't pass anything substantial and have not had much bleeding. It's like my body seems to think it did it's job with the contraction pains on Friday, but I'm not convinced. I have a scan on Friday but I suspect if nothing else happens before then I may need intervention

@yukka I’m really sorry to hear that you’re going through this. Sending lots of love your way 💕

@liane15 sorry to hear about the bleeding, hopefully they can scan you soon 💕

Thanks @Stephisaur not too sure how long it will take epau to get in touch and give a scan whether it's a same day thing or there is a wait. This is all new for me I had nothing like this with my first pregnancy.

@Cleozeta with my MMC I had a week of spotting followed by a sudden very heavy bleed with large clots that lasted a few hours. Then spotting again until a short heavy bleed again a week later. It’s awful desperately wanting it to be over. I really hope it is complete soon. I gather the amount of bleeding is very variable.

Thank you for sharing paranormal, it's so awful and upsetting isn't it.
I am silently hopeful that the few clots that came with the pain on Friday was everything, and it just wasn't obvious or dramatic.

Sorry for all the sad posts recently, it's so unfair sometimes.

I hope this doesn't seem insensitive as I need a little moan and appreciate some of you would rather be in my situation than yours but I haven't told anyone else and have no where else to turn.

I feel so tired all the time, the nausea is variable but on an evening I can't stomach much food and just want to be in bed, I don't want to get out of bed in the morning as feel I haven't slept. My 17 month old is teething/under the weather so has been waking the past few nights and not going back to sleep unless we walk him. Which my partners doing but I think he's losing patience with me as I'm constantly tired.
I have quite a demanding job mentally and physically and sometimes don't finish work until late. I really hope this goes in a few weeks. I'm not quite 8 weeks.

That's helped just to write it down!!

@Yukka so sorry
To hear what you are going through I’ve had reoccurring miscarriages and have been to see The consultant had tests etc and am currently under consultant led care - please message me if you have any questions or want to understand the process xx sending love and best wishes for the future xxx

So sorry Yukka. I hope you get some answers tomorrow at least. So much sad news around at the moment. Thinking of everyone struggling

So sorry @yukka - sending inadequate hugs x
