Anyone else pregnant with 🌈 ?

[elisha1375]

I had a MMC late last year at 6 weeks and it broke me emotionally. I’m 29 it was my first pregnancy and I never thought I’d have a miscarriage, I was stupidly naive. We waited for our first period which happened 18/12/23 and we started trying again, definitely not thinking it will happen quickly because it took us a little while first time round. After ovulation about 4dpo I just knew I wasn’t pregnant, I didn’t have sore boobs and it felt like I was getting my period. Pregnancy before I had sore boobs from 1DPO and I just felt pregnant. At 8dpo I took a test only because I was clearing out my cupboard. It was a faint positive, didn’t believe it so I called EPU, 10dpo 5pm HCG was 38 today 12DPO at 12pm it was 115 and I still don’t believe anyone. I still think every test is wrong and I’ve put a block up from getting attached like last time, will this feeling ever go away? 😢

Awww congratulations!!!! How far along do you feel you are now?

I am in a similar situation, I had a MMC in November and fell pregnant in December. Was definitely a surprise to us as well. I am coming onto 9 weeks now. Saw the heartbeat last week and I bawled my eyes out.

I understand how you feel, you’re scared to form an attachment but like you I was naive in thinking I have all the time in the world to bond with my baby then in a blink of an eye it was taken away from me.

I still get anxious with the scans, have the big 12 week one coming up in a few weeks and praying everything goes okay. I think the anxiety will go away with time, what I keep telling myself is the baby is okay today and to not take things too far ahead but just one day at a time. Xx

I don't think it will feel the same emotionally as your first pregnancy, but that's to be expected. I had MC last year and found out today I am pregnant again. I am not expecting to feel any 'connection' or excitement at this stage, so do be realistic. Just take one day at a time, remember you can't control it, and focus on what you can control like eating healthy, sleep, get sunshine where you can!

Hello OP i had a MMC in April 23 while trying for our 2nd child . i am now 15 weeks pregnant with our rainbow baby . It has been hard i’ve been very anxious and struggled to believe things were okay even when i wa being told it by sonagraphers / midwife . I am starting to feel some movement and trying to let myself attach but it’s hard as i still fear being told at some point there is no heartbeat . we are going to find out the gender next week and im hoping that will help me to attach

@Rainbowpeanut02 @Rosesanddaisies1 @JJM13 I’m 6 weeks today, I booked an early scan because I lost my first baby at 5 and a half weeks, never saw a heartbeat, waiting for the sonographer to tell me no heartbeat again but there it was flickering away. I feel like I can breathe for a while as we never got this far. I’ll have another scan in 2/3 weeks and then it’s my big 12 week one in March. I’m just trying to relax now, I’m still not out of the woods and it’s early days but it’s a milestone we never reached and I am praying baby continues to grow ❤️🌈. Pregnancy after loss is so hard because I was so attached to my first pregnancy but I couldn’t relax, constantly thought I was going to lose it and I did so I’m going to enjoy this pregnancy now, I really hope everything goes okay for us. Let me know how your 12 week one goes! I was the same, I told the sonographer to ‘eff off’ he sat there silent for 10 mins looking worried then casually says, baby with heartbeat, and just burst out crying, had to apologise so many times after 😂. I know it might seem a bit much but we’ve ordered a sneakpeak early gender reveal, so we’ll know by next week, it’s £69 but I’m just so desperate to know! Worrying will only cause more anxiety, just eat healthy and listen to my body and relax until I’m told otherwise!

I'm 5.2 today with my double rainbow baby after 2 miscarriages last year (also haveva 2 year old). I'm reading into every twinge and possible pregnancy symptom. I haven't had many and wanting to feel pregnant so I can trust its real. It's really tough. I spoke to the midwife today and keeping my fingers crossed for a referral to the EPU for an early scan.
