The posifrickintivity continues... another shiny and new posifrickintivity thread for pregnancy after miscarriage

[charlieis30]

Here is to us all having uneventful and smooth pregnancies, with healthy and happy babies!

Congratulations seasides and QuietTiger! Enjoy!

catbus woke up this morning with you in my thoughts. Hope you're better today

Catbus thinking of you and hoping that you're feeling ok today?

catbus I had awful cramps everytime the last time they took me to labour ward hope your ok today thinking of you

Sounds a bit like a lazy mw you got there tori

I've been away from the thread for a few days, but have just caught up & wanted to send thoughts to catbus hope you're ok, xxx

19+1 for me & I think I'm sure I can feel movement rather than gas. Exciting! (Or maybe it is just gas!)

Oh my word, that's disgraceful!! You'd think she would put dates together somehow?! My mw when I was having dd was so casual about everything, I never really gelled with her. Plus, I took my mum to one of my appts and she was appalled with her lack of thoroughness - she even suggested I change GP surgery to get a new mw! - so after that. I never had much faith in her. Then I fell pg with the baby I mc and she was my mw again. When I said symptoms (sickness) had waned completely at eight weeks, she brushed me off with "probably a boy then"

Hi all.... Looking for advice.... We are heading to my bfs family tomorrow for polish Christmas eve (lots of food and drink) I am about 6 weeks and last time I had a blighted ovum discovered at 8 weeks. This hit my bf really hard... ANYWAY. Last time we told both of our family's before the MC and his family got really excited. This time he doesn't want to tell them... which would be fine if they didn't smoke in the house (4 smokers in a 2 bed bungalow) and the fact I feel sick pretty much all the time. Oh I am also knackered. We are staying over so can't use the 'I'm driving' excuse. It would be so much easier if I could say 'I'm pregnant, no big deal' but instead I am going to look like a complete bitch who is going to spend most of my Christmas sat outside in the cold. I dunno what to do! Insist we tell? Just 'deal with it'? Part of me just doesnt want to go if we can't tell them, because hiding it is all on me, especially when my bf is planning on drinking heavily so I will be soon forgotten I mean surely now they know I have had a MC should stop them making a big deal right?

Thanks for all the lovely thoughts
MW got me a scan this morning and as I thought, it's another MMC. Happened when I thought it did and baby died 2 weeks ago.
There were no slots available until next Monday for ERPC and I really didn't want to MC at home over Christmas.
So I took the option of an ERPC under local anaesthetic. They injected my cervix to numb it and was given entonox.
Whole process very odd although the pain wasn't bad just uncomfortable. There was a lot of tissue there so very glad I chose this option.
I can now focus on Christmas and cuddles with my four beautiful children. I think I detached in my head a while ago and having been awake to say goodbye was cathartic in a way. No doubt it'll hit me like.a.ton of bricks soon.
I want to thank everyone for their support on this thread- it's been a lifeline.
Wishing you all fantastic pregnancies and births xxx

Oh cat, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. So sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry cat, I hope that despite the circumstances that you manage to have a peaceful and cuddle filled Christmas with your loved ones.
tori I am struggling to get my OH to talk about the fact that I am pregnant. When I asked whether or not we should get an early scan he just shrugs and says whatever. I know he is scared, I am scared but I would rather talk about it and have support. We are driving to my family on Christmas day (5 hour drive) my mum knows so that will be a bit of pressure off

Hugs Cat, I'm so sorry. Hold your little ones tight.

Cat really sorry to hear this. What a terrible thing to go through. Having family around you will definitely help I'm sure, as will the fact that you went for the ERPC with a local, so it is all done. Rest up lovely xxx

I'm so sorry catbus. Take care of yourself

So sorry to hear your news cat glad though that you have plenty of cuddles at home

Oh Cat I'm so so sorry. It's so cruel. There's nothing I can say to make you feel better, but hopefully time & support in RL will get you through. All the very best in the future
