Navigating pregnancy after loss

[Cruz86]

Just setting this up so we can move all pregnancy-related stuff from the TTC after miscarriage thread.

@aesgriff @speake @Bridgey8 @Prayingformyrainbow93 @mrshodgy21 @Skl2021 @Ganesh2022 @HoneyLemon29 @bunnykins123 @theblueflowers

Please tag anyone else I have missed, this is as much as my brain can handle 😂

👋 hope everyone is well. Took my Medicheck HCG test today and the next will be taken on Friday. @theblueflowers how did you get on with yours today? Hopefully I'll have the results in 2 days x

👋 haven't commented on any pregnancy boards yet too scared 🙈 x

Ooh good luck @HoneyLemon29, hopefully your results will come back soon!

I know it's scary @Skl2021 but it's only us still 🤗

Hi, can I join please? I’m 8.3 weeks pregnant after a loss in Oct/Nov last year xx

Hi @1stTimeTina, of course you can! Congratulations. How are you finding it so far? Have you had an early scan at all? Xx

@Cruz86 thank you for making a new board! 🤍

@HoneyLemon29 hope you don’t have to wait too long for your results. Have you been feeling better today?

@1stTimeTina hope you’re doing ok! We were all on the trying to conceive after miscarriage thread & just have so much pregnancy related anxiety now! Xxx

Hello lovely ladies ♥️
Back from the vets. Poor doggy has to have another op on his eye and about to send out for a McDonald’s. One of those days.
Lovely to have a thread I was starting to feel really bad about posting because I get how much it hurts when you so desperately want it.

@speake did you hear anything further about the discharge? I did find on Google it’s ‘normal’ but some reassurance would be good! Xx

@Skl2021 we’re all being brave on a pregnancy board now… eek!! Xx

@1stTimeTina hi! Welcome xx

Also thanks for making the thread @Cruz86 xx

@aesgriff your poor doggy, hope he is ok! Sounds like the McDonald’s is much needed tonight. All I want at the moment is beige, carby food, not ideal when you’re coeliac & can’t eat gluten 🙈😂

Haven’t heard back on the tests, they said it could be up to a week for the results to come back but to phone if I was in any discomfort which I’m not at the moment 🤞🏼

Was your scan today!? Xxx

Thought I would join on this thread!
Had my booking appointment today midwife has said if I make to 12 weeks I will be giving the nipt screening on the nhs! Fingers crossed I actually get there x

Thank you for the tag @Cruz86 !

@HoneyLemon29 did my first one today as well and sent off this morning so hoping I get results tomorrow maybe?!

I'm not sure when to do the second one as the instructions say only do Mon- Thurs as I guess they don't operate on the weekend? I'm wondering if that might affect the sample at all?

@speake me too!! Just anything cheesy, salty and beige 😋😋 I’m sooo bloated from how much bread I’ve had! Yours must be too 🤭
Scan is tomorrow. Just feel it’ll put me at ease. I don’t have a bad vibe, just a ‘I need to know’ feeling. How are you symptoms? Xx

@speake I'm feeling a little better. I keep getting a stitch like pain in the right side though and it's making me anxious. I'm going to call my own doctor on Monday and complain, at least then I'll be 5 weeks ready for EPU want to scan 🥺

@theblueflowers I'm so glad you mentioned this as I didn't have a clue about that 😣😣😣 my luck at the moment is crap 😮‍💨
I'm going to have a look 👀 x

@theblueflowers I've just found this x

Thanks everyone!! The nausea and exhaustion is flooring me!! Had a scan last week and saw a little heartbeat which made me feel a lot better!! X

Ooh hello, could I rejoin you all?? I stopped posting on the TTC after miscarriage thread as I felt bad posting pregnancy related stuff when there were lots of people still TTC and also I’ve been super busy and couldn’t keep up - I’ve been lurking a bit but not really kept up with you all!

Congrats to all the new BFPs from lots of names I recognise!!

I’m 10 weeks today 😀🌈

@aesgriff I’m the same, feel absolutely gross but then also happy to feel like that 🙈 Symptom wise I’m really up & down, some days feeling really sick others not so much. Sore boobs coming & going and also indigestion coming & going. Still trying to hold out to the 12 week scan but we’ll see 🙏🏼 Looking forward to hearing your scan update tomorrow xxx

@HoneyLemon29 @theblueflowers I sent mine on the Saturday as didn’t realise this & it didn’t affect the results. Just meant I had to wait until the Tuesday to get them so a bit longer xxx

@mrshodgy21 hope your booking appt went well 🙏🏼🤞🏼

@JuniperAndTonic welcome back, amazing you’re 10 weeks already 🥳

@1stTimeTina amazing everything was good at your 12 week scan, it sounds really positive 😊

@speake I'm going to go ahead and do the 2nd test on Friday and find a priority postbox ☺️

@speake oh not I was only 7.4 when I had my scan last week! Still very re-assuring though :) xx

Here! Spoke to the doc today as I'm still worried about the brown discharge post bleed last week. He's referred me to epau again to be on safe side xxx

Thanks @speake that's good to know!

I'm going to do the same @HoneyLemon29

Oh bless your poor doggy @aesgriff. What's wrong with his eye? It was also a McDonald's night for me. I have to just eat what I can, when I can because most of the time I don't fancy anything 😩 Although I could eat caramel bars all day every day 😂

I don't know how you do it being coeliac @speake!!

Thats really good news @mrshodgy21! Your scan is on Friday isn't it?

So lovely you saw a heartbeat @1stTimeTina 🙌🏻

Welcome back @JuniperAndTonic ☺️ and congratulations on being 10 weeks!! How are you feeling?

I hope you get seen by epu soon @Bridgey8!

Xx

@theblueflowers how far along are you? X

@HoneyLemon29 6 weeks tomorrow! Has felt like a lifetime...

How about you?

Can I join? Had mc in Oct, then what I thought was weird period in nov, normal in jan then 2 weeks light bleeding two weeks later. Scan booked for 21st, as against all probability I'm still testing positive (since end of jan, possibly earlier), so it's literally anyone's guess how far along I am. It would be baby number 3, so I already feel huge. And keep freaking out that maybe October wasn't a miscarriage, and maybe I'm 4 months... Argh!
