Hey! Just wanted to start up a thread because I couldn’t find another one, just got my BFP today after about 6 months of trying. Due date is 1st august! Still feeling nervous as I’ve had 2 miscarriages in the past but both before 6 weeks, so ill be keeping my fingers crossed and wont let myself get too excited until that deadline has passed!

Hope to hear from other ladies due at the same time, and hear your BFP stories :) xx

Couldn't find a heartbeat abdominally. She seemed to think I would miscarry. Baby measured 7+3 today after being 6+6 with heartbeat on Monday. I refused the internal because I was so sore after it on Monday. Feel horrendous tbh

@girlygirl98 I’m so sorry you’re going through this...I felt that the uncertainty was worse and that I couldn’t do much of anything until it was confirmed I’d miscarried...then at least I could grieve and try to move forward. Sending love and positive vibes.xx

Hi, hope it’s ok to join I’m 7+5 with baby#2 due 11th August according to the online calculators. Feel so different with this pregnancy to the last one, been feeling sick from day 1 and can’t help but worry and feel anxious that somethings not right. Can’t wait for 11 week scan for some reassurance. Don’t know why I’m feeling this way never did 1st time round x x

@girlygirl98 so sorry to hear that. Hope you've got home to your DH and are getting some support. Xx

Frazzlerock · 29/12/2019 19:05

@girlygirl98 I'm so very sorry. Is there no chance they could have found a heartbeat internally at such an early stage? I know it's straw clutching, and I'm thinking of you at such a horrid time Thanks

girlygirl98 · 29/12/2019 19:17

I did think that maybe there was a slim
Chance that she maybe just couldn't see it abdominally but I've always thought baby wasn't measuring in line with dates. Now I'm home I'm passing bits of red tissue so I think I have to prepare that it's not viable, seems cruel to lose it after seeing the heartbeat on Monday. Does anyone know what to expect? I'm sending dh for paracetamol and some pads.

Macbless · 29/12/2019 19:20

@Frazzlerock @girlygirl98 I also wondered that. Especially as there had been growth. The NHS does recommend internal scans up to 10 weeks. Obviously you have to do what felt right at the time and it certainly sounds like saying no was the right thing. But perhaps you could trying contacting EPU in another couple of days? Thinking of you xxx

Macbless · 29/12/2019 19:22

Sorry @girlygirl98 just saw your most recent post. ThanksThanks

girlygirl98 · 29/12/2019 19:24

Thanks. What I can't believe is that the company has now sent me photos of the fetus they told me had no heartbeat

Frazzlerock · 29/12/2019 19:33

@girlygirl98 I just don't have the words for you. I've been there and I know there's nothing anyone can say, except this is really shit. As for what to expect, two of my losses were MMC and I had surgical management so I didn't have much experience with losing naturally at this stage.
I lost our second baby naturally at about 4 weeks and bled profusely and very very heavily (but not clotty or tissue) for a couple of weeks, but I don't remember any pain.
But the surgical ones I bled lightly for a couple of days after and again no pain.
But I think you may need strong painkillers at this stage. I'm just so very sorry. Life is so cruel. If you need anything, feel free to PM me xx

Frazzlerock · 29/12/2019 19:35

I asked for a picture of ours, but the company should have asked you if you wanted them before sending. Very presumptuous of them

jennielm · 29/12/2019 19:43

@girlygirl98 I bled for about a week and a half after spontaneous miscarriage and needed maternity pads but pain was very minimal considering the circumstances. Paracetamol and occasional ibuprofen managed it fine. Sending lots of love and support.

PandaPink · 29/12/2019 20:25

@girlygirl98 Its terrible that you are having to go through this.
I have been there. I am going to be honest with my experience because I wish I had more knowledge before I miscarried naturally. I was going to choose natural management anyway but my body had made up my mind for me before I had the chance. I was told to expect a heavy period. It was like a heavy period for 1-2 days and then it happened.

I have never had a period like this! At the worst I was contracting every 2-3 minutes, I was told to contact the maternity unit if I was saturating a pad every 20 minutes which I was it was like a "whoosh" of blood every time I contracted. I was driven up by my Mum. I was given two bags of fluid, soon after I arrived I passed a large clot and then a gestational sac (I was anembryonic) the pain was relieved almost instantly after that. I was sent home and bled normally for about a week. Don't try and do this alone and know your options. Not everyone's experience will be like mine. I don't mean the scare you with my story it's more becuase I wish people had been more honest with me. I just trust that my body does what's right by me.

girlygirl98 · 29/12/2019 20:53

@PandaPink thank you for your honesty. I'm
bracing myself for it. That must have been so traumatic for you. Being a woman is such a tough bloody act. I have given birth before so I'll prepare myself for those kinds of pains. I'm not going to comment here anymore as I don't want to spoil it for anyone else. I'm not alone. I have a good dh and a beautiful daughter already xx

Jojo19834 · 29/12/2019 21:20

Sorry I missed you @girlygirl98 and wish you all the best. Life is hard sometimes but you sound like you have a great support network. Take time to process and heal. Thinking of you xx

DanielleG96 · 29/12/2019 21:22

Sending you love @girlygirl98. I'm so sorry you are going through this

MaisieMolly · 29/12/2019 21:46
