Was told by consultant that any future pregnancy I may have, to take 2x 75mgs of aspirin which I started last night so hopefully that'll help the pregnancy stick around and keep BP normal as I had severe preeclampsia at 31 weeks

[Hopefulforourrainbow]

I was around 4 weeks when I found out this time too. Are you on any meds? I've been taking 75mg aspirin and was on progesterone pessaries until 12/13 weeks.

@Hopefulforourrainbow Hi, you So far along now! How crazy! Aww you probably are but it's nice to have a friendly face for a little bit. Had BFP for a few days now (and some is it/isn't it for a few days before that). It's soooo early, I'm maybe around 4 weeks 🙈

[Hopefulforourrainbow]

Hey @unicornsandrainbows1. Welcome back. Think I'm the only one still here from before. Have you had a bfp or are you still waiting to test? I'm 33+2 now. It feels so surreal!

[UnicornsandRainbows1]

Hope it's okay to jump on. Was here previously awaiting my rainbow after two losses 🌈

Haven't MC'd between then and now but have just found out that we're (hopefully) expecting again. This thread was so lovely last time and I'm honestly so terrified of having yet another MMC. Thought all the dread would go away afterwards but nope

[Ashsan]

Thank you so much I do a bit but I guess anyone that’s been through what we all have doesn’t stop worrying completely xx

[Hopefulforourrainbow]

Hope you feel a bit more relaxed now

[Ashsan]

13 on Sunday xx

[Hopefulforourrainbow]

Ah that's fab news! How many weeks are you now?

[Ashsan]

Just a quick update Monday went well do keeping fingers crossed this time and for you all too x

[Ashsan]

I’ll have a look I’ve never heard of it and thank you I’ll keep you updated 😊 x

[Hopefulforourrainbow]

It doesn't get easier. Theres just something different to worry about at each stage. I used the datayze website a lot for reassurance

[Ashsan]

Thank you for your lovely messages I had a scan at 9 weeks and all was good one baby and a strong heartbeat I’m just so anxious. I’m hoping it will get easier. X

[jacquesjacques]

Thank you so much @Hopefulforourrainbow we are thrilled! Yes I'm waiting until 12 weeks now but that's only a few weeks away so not too much of a wait  although the last three weeks have been the longest of my life.

@Ashsan welcome love, sorry to hear you've been through the mill too, it's such a worrying time isn't it? Hoping for all the very best for you. Have you had any scans yet?

[Hopefulforourrainbow]

Welcome @ashan. Sorry you've found yourself here too. Ramble away! That's what we're here for. Hope all goes well on Monday x

[Ashsan]

Hi I’m new to all of this and looking for a bit of support if you don’t mind me joining this thread. A bit about me - I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant my scans on Monday. Me and dh have been trying to conceive for around 5 years in 28 we have had 3 miscarriages and one blighted ovum requiring surgery last year so as you can imagine I’m terrified of absolutely everything. Sorry to ramble I’m just feeling very overwhelmed I think x

[Hopefulforourrainbow]

Ah that's fab news! So happy for you. Do you have to wait til 12 weeks for next scan? I'm 31 weeks now! Still seems so surreal

[jacquesjacques]

@Vuduvu what lovely news! Enjoy your gorgeous girl. You've certainly earned her!

My news is that we've been for our second reassurance scan and there was a lovely wiggly baby, which has now grown some cracking arm and leg buds and still has a strong heartbeat. Absolutely over the moon - am 8+5 and this is the furthest we've ever got to with a live baby.

[Labmum]

Congratulations @vuduvu! That's lovely news. And another girl on the thread!

We've set up a postnatal group which you'd be very welcome to join if you fancy it www.mumsnet.com/Talk/postnatal_clubs/3513133-Our-rainbows-are-here-pregnancy-after-miscarriage-or-loss-graduates

[Hopefulforourrainbow]

Wow another girl! Congratulations. Hope you're both doing well

[fluffyunicorns86]

Congratulations @vuduvu glad your little one is ok and your ok too.

[Vuduvu]

Hi all, it’s been a while - mumsnet was really stirring up my anxiety so husband blocked it on my computer and phone for the remainder of my pregnancy! But thought I should update the thread with how things worked out for us. My daughter was born 3 weeks ago - NVD, she wasn’t breathing well to start with and had a few days on NICU but home now and doing really well.

Congratulations @paranormalbouquet, @Miami81, @labmum, @AnneLovesGilbert - really pleases for you all, and congratulations/good luck to everyone else. Thanks for all your support during the earlier part of my pregnancy

[fluffyunicorns86]

Thank you @Hopwfulforourrainbow I have I am thankful for my 3 beautiful babies I have but never makes a loss any easier. I have 2 rainbow babies so this would be my 3rd hopefully. It really has set my depression off so hoping meeting people will help me a little bit. no just folic acid 5mg. I will be under consultant care which I have been with every pregnancy, under a pre term clinc and also mental health consultant. I will most likely be put on aspirin at my 16 week consultant appointment and then possibly injections aswell I have to do once a day as had to with my son and would have had to do with my son I just lost also.

[Hopefulforourrainbow]

@jacques that's great news! Will keep everything crossed for you. I was put back in dates too then put forward at 12 weeks scan and was actually 13 weeks then.

Welcome @fluffyunicorn86. Sorry you've found yourself here. Sounds like you've had a hell of a time. Most of those in this forum have gone on to have their rainbow babies. Theres only a few of us left now! I think I'd be in a psychiatric ward if it wasn't for the amazing ladies here. Are you on any medication? I'm on low dose aspirin and was on progesterone until 13 weeks.

[fluffyunicorns86]

hi all, hope it Is ok to join this thread.

I am 32 and currently on my 8th pregnancy. my history is:

still birth at 24 weeks in January 2005
had my DD at 37 weeks due to pre eclampsia December 2005
Had my DD full term in june 2008
Had a MMC at 11 weeks baby stopped growing at 8 weeks in October 2014
Had early miscarriage at 4-5 weeks in may 2015
Had DS march 2016 at 38 weeks due to bad SPD
Had a Late MC at 18 weeks in October 2018

I am currently 11 weeks 6 days pregnant had a bleed and pain at 5 weeks and had early scan which showed I was not as far along as I thought and saw heartbeat at 5 weeks 6 days. Then had another early scan due to pain bout 3 weeks later and again dates changed and was 10 weeks but again everything was fine but there is a clot there. Have my 12 week scan on the 2nd of april and I am so anxious about it and wish it was sooner.
