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 😂

@HoneyLemon29 @LittleMrsMama I’m glad I’m not the only one, pretty sure my husband thinks I’m crazy not accepting help whenever it’s offered! 🙈

@Bridgey8 reaching 12 weeks is definitely a milestone, congratulations 🤍 is it this week you have your 12 week scan?

@arianasky there is no mistaking that line, congratulations 🥳

@Prayingformyrainbow93 so reassuring that you have the 3+ on CB, I think we’ve all used that as a hopeful reassurance / milestone at some stage too.

@honeylemon29 sorry you’ve been sick today, please try not to read too much into it. I am mostly just nauseous but if I’ve not eaten, or exerted a lot of energy before eating or had a dip in blood sugar then it very occasionally will turn to sickness too. Hopefully that is the same for you 🙏🏼 roll on Tuesday!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend in the sun xxx

Congratulations to the BFP on here
Sorry I've not been on going to catch up now 🤦🏽‍♀️
My anxiety is through the roof I don't think I can wait another 2 weeks for a scan at 10
Weeks

I did try to book a private scan for next week twice it wouldn't go through online is something telling me not to have it and just wait till 4 April 🤦🏽‍♀️

@arianasky such a lovely strong line 🎉🌈🤞💕 xxx

@speake @Skl2021 thank you ladies thought I'd post the pic since a lot of you have seen me get a BFP then lose it the last two months, I'm praying this time is the one 🙏🏻🌈

"A piece of wet nauseous lettuce" @Raindrops2015 I shouldn't laugh but this is a good description. I'm sorry you're feeling rough. Did you manage to get any guidance about Covid?

The sun really does make a difference doesn't it! Shame I still want to be curled up inside though 🤦🏼‍♀️

Glad you got a 3+ @Prayingformyrainbow93! That was a big sign for me too as it never progressed past 2-3 in October/November.

Congratulations on making it to 12 weeks @Bridgey8!! That's fantastic ☺️

@HoneyLemon29 I know it's easier said than done, but try not to let your mind go into overdrive. My nausea this time round is awful, so much worse than with my son. I started to worry about excess hcg levels too but everything was okay. Sometimes that's just the way it is and symptoms present differently in different pregnancies ❤️

@arianasky that's a beautiful line 🙌🏻🥰

Xx

@Cruz86 @LittleMrsMama my GP told me to phone EPU so I left a message yesterday and I haven't heard back. I'm just staying hydrated and continuing to take 75mg aspirin daily. Before I tested for covid I thought I was feeling so bad cos of pregnancy and that this meant everything was going OK. The ole anxiety is coming back again cos I'm sick with covid I don't know whether I have morning sickness or not. I've booked a scan for whenever I am out. I'm more nervous about this one than the first one at 6 weeks.

@arianasky beautiful line 😍 xx

@Bridgey8 12 weeks!! Yay!! Xx

@speake thank you for thinking of me ♥️♥️ Scan showed a little baby with a heartbeat. Super happy and measuring a day ahead. Was awful though as the poor girl in front of me was diagnosed with an ectopic and they called an ambulance for her. Was horrific. The receptionist made the call in front of a packed waiting room and you could just hear her sobs 💔 broke me.
How are you doing?? Xx

@Cruz86 @Skl2021 hope you girlies are doing okay xx

@aesgriff so glad everything was looking great at your scan 🥰🤍

That is so sad, that poor poor girl. I think the first one is always the worst aswell because you just don’t expect it atall. Can imagine you just wanted to give her a hug 🥺 xxx

@speake I really did! Just wanted to give he a big hug and tell her how sorry I was. Her poor partner was outside on the phone and he was crying. Just horrible.
How are you doing though lovely lady?? Xx

@aesgriff oh wow I'm crying my eyes out reading that 😞 just knowing the shock and hurt that poor girl must be feeling 😞 absolutely heartbreaking

Oh that must be really hard @Raindrops2015. I really hope you start to feel better soon but not that the sickness stops so then you know it's pregnancy 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ Look after yourself.

So glad your scan was successful @aesgriff 🥰 How far are you measuring now? How awful about the couple in front of you though, absolutely breaks my heart 😞 I'm okay thank you, just trying to get through the constant nausea. It's like I've got a daily hangover!!

Xx

I’m ok thank you @aesgriff 🤍 I have my midwife appt on Wednesday so that feels like a bit of a milestone 🙏🏼 Xxx

@aesgriff so glad your scan went well 🙌💕 I'm doing ok just trying to get through the days 😣 not feeling the best xx

@speake eee!! I hope it goes well for you xx

@Skl2021 bless you it sounds horrific! Was it ever this bad in your previous pregnancies? Xx

@arianasky it was honestly heartbreaking. Haven’t stopped thinking about her all day xx

@Cruz86 just over 8 weeks! Crazy!! Hope your nausea eases up soon xx

@aesgriff yes felt like this with all of mine. Just can't remember if it was this bad or if it's cos I'm older 🤣 and more tired as I have kids to look after 🙈 it's definitely ramped up these last few weeks. Hoping I'm over the worst 🤞 have u had your booking appointment yet? Xx

Omg I feel for you @Skl2021!! Fingers crossed it passes soon.. you’re doing your best just remember that 😘 nope not had my booking appointment yet… I did try and chase it and was told I’d be contacted end of this week but nothing so will call again on Monday 🤦‍♀️ Xx

@aesgriff aww thanks all I do is sleep or feel rubbish ATM! Yes u still have plenty of time don't think I had mine until weeks 9 and 10. So glad everything is ok for you 💕🙌 xx

Morning ladies, I got my dye stealer today at 16dpo so I'll step away from the tests now well except for the weeks indicator ones 🙈 I'm away tomorrow for a few days aswell so that'll be a good distraction, how is everyone? 💕

@arianasky that's great news u got a dye stealer so early 🙌💕 enjoy your few days away weather seems to be improving were I am so hopefully it's nice for you too 🙌☀️ xx

@Skl2021 yeah it's lovely here today aswell and it's supposed to be lovely in Devon when I'm there so looking forward to some sun 🙌🏻 yeah I'm happy about it, now the worrying really starts about how long will I stay pregnant and if it's partial molar again 😞 it's so stressful as you know but I'm going to try and not stress and it enjoy it 🌈

@arianasky aww yes I hope it is nice for you ☀️ makes everything better when the sun is shining 😁 yes it's hard the worry will never go away we just learn to live with it 😣 I'm stil a worried mess! Just take it a day at a time and think positive! We can't change the outcome just have to hope for the best 🤞💕 are you going to be seen by epu? X

@Skl2021 exactly we won't be ok until the baby's in our arms but it'll be so so worth it when we get that, yeah I have a phone consultation with the recurrent miscarriage consultant on Wednesday so going to ask for progesterone and I have a scan a fortnight Monday where I'll be 7 weeks from LMP but I'll be 6+4 going from ovulation, when is your next scan? 💕

@arianasky that's good news then hopefully they can help you and not much longer until your scan 🤞 have u ever checked your progesterone levels? My scan is a week on Monday! 8 days to go and I am terrified of getting bad news again. X

@Skl2021 no I never have I've never had any tests tbh but I know they can't do anything really now I'm pregnant but I'd rather ask for it incase that is the cause? Ah amazing not long at all 💕 I have everything crossed for you 🌈
