Pregnant after 2 consecutive losses

Hi looking for some reassurance or advice from any pregnant again after consecutive losses. I took a test 17th it was positive and have taken daily since. Other than sore boobs and sleepiness loads of cramps I've no sickness. I'm only just 4 weeks. I'm paranoid every time I go the toilet that I will see blood. I didn't even get excited when I seen the two lines just numb. I don't even want to get attached because it will probably happen again. How did you get through it ? I'm going crazy already.

Completely terrified Jenn, haven't been eating properly or sleeping very much, have felt sick these past few days, don't know if it's because I'm anxious, still have sore boobs. So glad to hear all went well today. Xx

ChesMum2019 · 03/04/2019 07:11

Thanks Jen, every little niggle has me on edge, constantly on knicker watch. I'm so scared. Xxx

ChesMum2019 · 03/04/2019 07:48

Is it morning or afternoon? I hope you don't have a long wait mine was over an hour late. I was shaking so bad by the time I went in. The knicker watching will never stop I don't think and even though I had a scan yesterday I'm back worrying again today. Sadly because of loss in previous pregnancies this is our new reality. I'm keeping everything crossed for you hun. Deep breaths x

Hi, it was this morning, not good news, baby has not grown since last scan, it was Ann Marie who did the scan and she is referring us to the miscarriage clinic, she said she would make an exception cause I said now what are we going to do and that's when she said, so this is something positive to come out of this nightmare. Xxx

ChesMum2019 · 03/04/2019 15:07

Oh Laura I'm so sorry. I feel sick for you. How are you feeling I hope you are taking it easy. What's the next step for you ? Are you going to wait or have d and c or tablets. I've had experience of both. Both have pros and cons. I'm glad Ann Marie is referring you she is lovely. When I had all the tests ran at the clinic it came back as no reason for me just bad luck. But it has meant in this pregnancy I have had the extra support from them. So it's the best thing to be under them going forward. Big hugs hun x x x

Thank you Jenn, resting up with hotwater bottle and the hospital gave me codeine so have taken two of them. I was so hoping the baby would have grown and everything would be ok. I've opted for the op as I've had tablets for my first miscarriage and they did not work fully. Something positive is being done from this hell and for further pregnancies they give you the extra support which is good. Xx

ChesMum2019 · 03/04/2019 20:55

Yes they do plenty of support. When is your op. I have lots of experience of d and c had to have 2 for my miscarriage in Oct 17 because I had retained tissue. So if you need any advice or have any questions I'm here for you. Or just any support. Big hugs hun x x

That's reassuring to know Jen, I feel like something is being done rather than just being left on our own. It's on Friday this will be the third time, my husband is hopefully going to be allowed to stay with me until I go to theatre which I'm relieved about cause I'm scared of being put asleep. Thank you so much Jen. Xx

ChesMum2019 · 03/04/2019 23:02

I had a d and c there in Oct 17 and they don't let the husbands in they have to stay at the door and you go in and wait to be called. We complained but they said it's there policy. They took his phone number and said we will call you once she is ready to be collected. One of the reasons when I needed another d and c for retained products a month later we went to Portland in London as I wanted to have comfort of husband with me the whole time and it was a totally different experience. I hope that something has changed and they allow husbands in now as I found it so distressing to be alone. Hope your going to take it easy the next few weeks hun. It's physically and emotionally draining xx

I got quite distressed when we got to the theatre and she said I'll ask if your husband can wait with you and they let him cause I did not want to be in there waiting on my own, hope it's the same on Friday. I will be hubby is going to be off work and my mum will be over in the morning as she lives in the same close as me. It really is so much. Xx

ChesMum2019 · 04/04/2019 09:51

I really hope he can be with you. None should be alone when going through this. I did complain afterwards to say the way they treat you is not acceptable given what your going through. I hope your doing ok today x x

Lauraliverpool · 04/04/2019 13:41

So do I, I'm going to say we did ask on Wednesday and were told they'd be speaking to the ward. Woken up and was hoping it had been a nightmare. How are you? Xx

ChesMum2019 · 04/04/2019 18:05

Oh hun ConfusedI know that feeling too well like living in a nightmare. Fingers crossed for tomorrow and I'll be thinking of you. I'm ok thanks hun. Getting by day by day x

As far as we know it did, though have to go in for a scan Friday to make sure nothing has been left as what they removed was smaller than they expected. I really don't want to but it's to be on the safe side. Xx

ChesMum2019 · 09/04/2019 21:32

How are you doing Laura x x
