Fresh Start thread for pregnancy after miscarriage or loss

[BertieBotts]

I've lost count of what number we were on, sorry.

Also there seems to be another BFP after MC thread running, but it has all different people on it so I didn't know if we should crash theirs or just have two running at once...

So I'm at the assessment unit waiting for a bed to be available for 24hr monitoring. Had a repeat mw appointment today as I had a slightly increased blood pressure and proteins in urine. This increased today (from 2 to 3) so I've been sick here all afternoon. Blood pressure is slowly normalizing but the protein is actually at the 600 mark so it's super high. Not entirely sure what will happen now with everything

I've been lurking on this thread for a while now - I hope you don't mind me joining in. I'm currently 9 and a half weeks pregnant after two mmcs in the last year. I was feeling too anxious to post before, but on Tuesday had a scan showing a baby waving back at us! I'm still worrying a lot obviously. By my dates I was 9 weeks 2 days, but it was measuring 2 days behind at 9 weeks exactly - has anyone else had this? Is it normal? Possibly I'm being ridiculous but last pregnancy I was a week and a half behind at the first scan and the EPU reassured me that that was fine, then two weeks later it was gone.

@keeponrunning85 congratulations! It must be such a relief having your little one in your arms

Ah, Keep, that's lovely! Enjoy your new little bundle!

Congratulations @keeponrunning what wonderful news!

Welcome to all the new people and lovely to see so many positive scans!

Thinking of you @unicornsandrainbows I hope it all settles soon

I think I’m same! Had mmc just over 3 weeks ago had erpc my body’s telling me pregnant but scared it’s just pms/wishful thinking

Sorry wrong thread!

Many congratulations @keeponrunning85!

Oh you poor thing @UnicornsandRainbows1. Have they found you a bed yet? Have you got any other symptoms of pre eclampsia?

Unicorn I hope all is going well. Pre-eclampsia is really common and your team will know how to manage it, at least you are in the right place.

Vudu 2 days out is totally normal on a scan. I’ve been roughly 2 days behind my dates all along this time and the team say that within 5 days is totally normal.

22weeks today! Next scan is next Wednesday. No more bleeding thankfully, I spoke to my consultant who said keep an eye for now but any more bleeding and she wants to see me. At least I feel I’m being looked after.

Bump is suddenly enormous. And very very high! Much more movement again last 48 hours so hoping it becomes more regular now.

@para glad bleeding stopped and more regular movement. I’m
23 weeks now and like you, movement is quite sporadic. Lots some days then 2 days ago virtually nothing all day- got quite worried but then it came back. The fun of an anterior placenta!

Yes anxious anterior placentas are the last thing we need in an anxious pregnancy already. Hope everyone is doing well?

Sash I haven't said this anywhere else yet, but my waters broke about half an hour ago and I'm having very gentle contractions about 9 mins apart :) I'm exactly 39 weeks according to doctors but always thought I was up to a week ahead of that.

I mean sssh. Not sure who sash is.

How exciting Bertie! Good luck with everything x

@BertieBotts Exciting stuff. Let us know how it goes!

Good luck Bertie!

Good luck Bertie!

How exciting Bertie! Thinking of you.

Good luck Bertie!!!

Hope all is going well @BertieBotts!

Yep still contracting, closer together now but have become a bit more irregular. We have shipped DS1 off to my friend's house and DH has done lots of anxious cleaning now we're just biding time really but I think we might head into hospital in the next hour or two.

Waters breaking first is really strange because this didn't happen to me last time so I've been taken a bit by surprise by it! There's quite a lot of it and I hadn't really prepared so only have some ancient normal sanitary towels and it just goes straight through them unless I catch a gush at the right time and go to sit on the toilet.

Thinking of you @BertieBotts! Good luck!

Good luck @bertiebotts!

Hope everything is going well @BertieBotts!

@paranormalbouquet thanks for the reassurance :) 10+1 today and nausea is so much better than it was 2 weeks ago so now that is making me anxious as well!

Had baby at 3am but no pain relief nightmare. Then he got shipped off to another hospital as he wasn't breathing properly, they had to call out the on call paediatrician. Now he's at the children's hospital. I'm waiting to hear if I'm allowed home or have to stay another night, DH going to visit 3x per day. He's doing much better this afternoon than early this morning though.

Congratulations Bertie but I’m sorry to hear he’s not with you. I hope you can be with him soon xx
