I don't know how to put this. Has anyone miscarried after having a bump? How long did it take to go down?

[NatalieJane]

I miscarried Monday before last, I was only around 6 weeks-ish, but being as freakish as I am, I already had a bump (same happened with perfectly healthy pregnancy last time).

I literally wake up with a bump, I went from my size 12's back to the 18's I had after giving birth last time, and the bump is still getting bigger by the day.

Facing questions and comments about the bump has been hard enough, but now I feel like I can't really start to get over the MC until the bump has gone.

So when did your's go?

Anyone?

I don't have any answers but just wanted to sent you sympathy. That seems very unfair of Mother Nature.

when you ahve already had children your muscles are still loose so they 'pop' out a lot earlier than they did during your first pregnancy. i do not want to come across as insensitive but did you expel evreything duringthe miscarraige? i sympathise with you as during my second miscarraige i had a bump at 11 weeks though the baby had died several weeks before, the placenta was huge when i lost it. everybody is different as to when it will go. do you exercise as that would speed up the process?

Natalie,

I had a mc at 17 weeks. I had a bit of a bump and I took to excercise to get rid of it. I managed to get rid of the bump and excess weight within about 2 months. At which point I found out I was pregnant again!

NJ have you seen anyone yet? I really think you need to see your GP or someone at the EPU.

Mother nature is cruel and it may take a little while for it to go down. Thinking of you xxx

Thanks everyone.

Bethoo, yes I believe everything came away, and the bleeding has stopped, not got any pain or anything so I am quite convinced there is nothing left.

Sweetheart, apart from a couple of lbs I hadn't actually put much weight on, I don't think exercising is going to do anything. Besdies I have hardly eaten anything since it all happened, and have now actually lost 5lb (so I am now 3lb lighter than before)

LG&T, I haven't seen anyone, I can't face it, all the prodding and poking, the questions....

I suppose it was a silly question to ask, there will be as many different answers as to the question when did you get a bump.

Just wish it would go.

Natalie,

I'm sorry I was a little clinical - it's obviously still very raw for you.

I already had a dd when I had my mc and as bethoo said it's common for you stomach muscles to be weaker on 2nd, 3rd pregnancies.

I really found the excercise helped. After the mc I felt like my body was a bit alien to me and wasn't under my control. I joined a gym and I finally felt in control of myself again. I was doing something to get my body back AND I found it helped me to release the agression I was feeling. It helped me so much that when I fell pregnant again shortly afterwards I carried on going as a sort of therepy (I was so scared of loosing another baby).

ds has just turned 2 now so it's a long time ago. It's the anniversary of my mc next week and I can promise things do get better even though I know you won't be feeling that way at the moment.

That's OK Sweetheart, I am finding clinical easier to handle than sympathy at the moment.

I am sure once the bump has gone I will start to feel better, just fed up of all the nice old lady's asking when I'm due, and mums at school staring and whispering. Like I said, just wish it would go, soon.

So sorry to hear your news nataliejane.
Have just lost twins at 13 weeks and I had a very definite bump. Had ERPC last tuesday, bump still there, and getting looks at the school run. I know exactly how you're feeling. It is really crap.

nj, i think maybe you need to see a doc, just to make sure everything is ok.

xx

So sorry Karma You never realise how many people go through this untill you are one of them.

Misdee, thanks, but I honestly couldn't face it, and like I said I am certain everything has come away.

It's just going to take time I guess.

The bump has gone, don't know if I am more or more but, it does feel like it is a definate end of the situation, so relieved I think is the best word to describe it

I can do my button up on my jeans again

that is good to hear Natalie.....

so sorry about you losing twins , karma.. hope you are getting lots of support. x

NJ i am glad the bump has gone. Hope you feel better over time. It must be so hard. Love to you xx

Sorry about losing the babies Karma xxx
