Staying posifrickentive - Thread 7 for ladies pregnant after mc

[Metalhead]

New thread for all the lovely ladies facing the trials and tribulations of pregnancy after mc!

Hi north hugs to you
Must feel like such an emotional set back...but just you rest up and get yourself back to normal, you'll be home with dd in no time! She's fine with her daddy as you said, so try not to worry. Get well very soon x

Welcome need and congrats on your pregnancy, I hope your anxiety eases a bit over the coming weeks. I felt a lot better after our successful 20 week scan and once I started feeling regular movements.

Yay for maternity leave mrsdiddly! It's great not having to think about work anymore .

Sorry to hear about your retained placenta north, and that you're back in hospital. Just look after yourself and get plenty of rest, I'm sure your DD will be just fine with her dad.

At my 36 week check on Wednesday the mw said baby's head is already very low, and I've been really uncomfortable and achy all day with lots of really strong Braxton Hicks. I know that doesn't mean much in 2nd pregnancies, but part of me thinks it wouldn't be too bad if she decided to come early... I'll be 37 weeks so technically full term on Monday, but still got 2.5 weeks to go until my C-section date. Certainly not relishing the prospect of feeling like today until then...

I think I just felt baby move!?...woke me up, felt like a tumbling/summersault kinda feeling...is this possible at 15 weeks?

Definitely possible allmy!

Well day 1 of maternity leave so far has involved waking up at 3 am bleeding and being admitted. Exhausted but we're OK. Darn low placenta. Likely to be here until late tomorrow, but if it starts again I could be here until baby comes. Steroid injections sting! Might be a Nov baby now...

Thanks metal, lets hope the last stretch isn't too uncomfortable for you...perhaps she will show up early as you said?

Oh diddly sorry to hear that, hope you're home safe and sound very soon

Oh diddly sorry to hear but glad you're in the best place to both be looked after.

I'm home again, feeling immensely grateful for the NHS and the amazing care.

Glad you're home safely north x

Had a reassurance scan on weds after a bit of spotting and all was great - plus had harmony tests back which were fine and told us we were having a little girl. Told my dd who was so excited then...

Yesterday I was at work (13w + 2) and got up to go to lunch and felt wet - went to loo and bright red blood that soaked my pants to my trousers .

A very kind colleague drove me to hospital and I was scanned straight away - baby was fine and they don't know what the blood is (cervix was closed). Now been told 2 weeks bed rest until another scan unless I miscarry in the meantime

So scared - bleeding is now just old brown type but feeling a little achy - no pains as such just discomfort. So worried but trying to be hopeful

Just noticed his thread on the active threads list and thought I'd pop back to say Hai!!! My little boy Smudge is due in less than 4 weeks now . This thread was so supportive to me during the early weeks when I was utterly frantic about being PG again, but it's safe to say pretty much ALL my anxiety disappeared once the 20 week scan happened and I started feeling regular kicks. Hang in their ladies, it really really REALLY does get a whole lot easier

Oh Disney I'm sorry you are going through that, and others having a difficult time - diddly and north. There seems to be a lot happening this week so sending best wishes to all. Xxxx

I'm OK, feeling a bit sick again which helps my nerves! A bit of blood this morning but from bottom I think (sorry if tmi). 8 weeks Monday feels like a milestone as one of my mc was that week.

Disney mrsD Gosh, so sorry to hear about your bleeding! Hope it all settled down again very quickly and that both babies stay put!

Oh disney...sorry love, how scary! I know a few ladies who have had a gush/bleed for no apparent reason, and they still carried full term. You're over the 12 week mark now, so the odds of mc I believe are around 1%? Especially after seeing little one alive and kicking at all the scans! Fingers crossed all will be ok, just take it very easy, and if bed rest is advised then bed rest it is x

I just to pop my head by and say hello. I'm not that active on this thread, but wanted to let everyone know our baby arrived very fast this evening at home. He is a beautiful little boy, weighing 7lb 7oz and we are yet to decide on a name.

Thank you for the support and I wish everyone well :)

I should say Saturday evening! 5.45 pm xx

Big congratulations topsy, lovely news! I hope you're both doing well and enjoying lots of cuddles this morning.

Oh no, all sorts of things going on.

Hope all is ok mrsd and disney. Lots of resting for both of you

Congratulations topsy! Enjoy those newborn cuddles.

Not long to go now cherry! Have you got everything ready?

Pleased to hear you are home and back with the family north

paws that may well be the start of movements! The first one I felt was a bit like that feeling you get going over a bridge? Didn't feel anything else for a few weeks after though so patience is definitely required in the early stages!

cotton hooray for milestones getting passed, you're so close to Monday now.

Oh and metal, hope you're feeling a bit less rubbish today and that baby is staying put like a good 'un. You sounded really uncomfortable.

Gosh, sorry to hear about both of you bleeding diddly and disney. Hope it styles down for you both soon and that is nothing to worry about.

Congratulations on the north of your son topsy. Hope you are enjoying time with him

North, what a worry. Glad you're home now. Hopefully that's the end of the problems

Home! What a palava but probably not the last. Bleeding has settled for now. Just got to take it easy with a toddler to look after! How is that possible?

Disney hope things have settled for you? What a scare.

Congratulations topsy always love good news on here!

Congrats topsy wonderful news!

Glad things have settled mrsd

I'm on day 2 of bed rest and bored but hoping it will be worth it - just a little bit of brown when I wipe today - I just wish I had a scanner so I could see what's happening on the inside - waiting 2 weeks to find out if she'll be ok seems like an eternity. But chin up I guess and trying to remain positive.

Hope you are okay disney and glad your home mrs nothing is easy is it !

I think I'm losing my mucus plug (tmi?) It started yesterday, and this morning there was quite a bit of jelly like discharge when I wiped. Hoping this means things are heading in the right direction ?! I know sometimes it can happen weeks before hand, but I'm impatient and I'm hoping she arrives sooner !

Hi ladies, can I join please?

Dh & I found out I was pregnant for the first time in June of this year, after 2yrs of TTC. Unfortunately, I had a mc in July (just before 12wks).

We decided to carry on trying, after waiting for my first period as advised by doctors, as it had taken so long to conceive the first time.

My October period was a bit odd, not really bleeding more brown discharge (sorry for tmi!) but I convinced myself that I wasn't pregnant because I would "know"...November period didn't show up and had been feeling very tired/nauseous but still convinced myself I didn't need to take a test...however, after an embarrassing bout of sickness in the middle of london (in full view of a crowdful of people ), I took a test yesterday and I'm pregnant!

I'm thrilled but at the same time terrified that I'm going to have another mc (which I think is why I was so reluctant to take a test!)...since the test, I'm now convinced that every time I go to the toilet, I will be bleeding. And now, because I was such a scaredy-cat, I don't even know how far gone I am because I'm not sure if October period was a period or implantation.

I'm sure that I can't be the only one who feels like this but just wanted to know if it gets easier once you reach the point of the previous miscarriage? I feel bad because I just think that there's no way I'm going to be able to enjoy the pregnancy as I'm just going to wait for the miscarriage to happen, and then I feel guilty because I know that other people are in much worse situation than me...so many emotions going on at the moment!

Welcome gothe and congratulations :) you've come to the right place, there are so many lovely people on this thread with lots of helpful advice and hand holding.

The worry does get easier at some point IMO, however I don't think it ever really leaves you, just gets easier. New worries develop, but as time goes on it does get better. I'm nearly 39 weeks now and my worries have changed to giving birth and how awful it will be haha ! Could you see your gp and perhaps arrange a scan at your epau in a few weeks to give you an idea of how far along you are ?
