Navigating pregnancy after loss

[Cruz86]

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

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

Thank you @Bridgey8 I need to stop obsessing. It's not helpful is it !

Good luck with yours x

@scoutcat I take pregnacare, folic acid 5mg, vitamin D,B,C and E, iron, zinc and omega 3 and 150mg aspirin but I'm such a panicked after everything that's happened 🙈

Hi everyone. I have a hospital and scan appointment tomorrow and I don't know whether to bring up the constant nausea. Is there anything they can even give you if you aren't being sick physically? It's affecting my diet now and I just don't want to eat at all. From the minute I wake up to the minute I fall asleep 😮‍💨 I have sickness bands on each wrist but they aren't working 😵 x

@HoneyLemon29 is it you don't want to eat or can't physically eat? I also have constant nausea never sick however I find if I force myself to eat regularly it takes the edge of for a bit. However I would mention it you have nothing to loose they can only say no xx

It's been a few days since being on here and I feel like I've missed so much! Just trying to help my little boy recover from his tonsillitis and get myself through the day with constant nausea and no motivation to do anything 🤦🏼‍♀️

How are you feeling @Skl2021? Not long for you now! I think I've decided just to wait til my 12 week scan now, feel like I'm tempting fate if I go for a private scan for some reason.

Glad your spotting stopped @Bridgey8. Has it stayed that way? How annoying that you've got Covid though! How are you feeling?

@scoutcat yes I get the gassy/cramping feeling regularly. After letting out some (lots) of gas, I feel much better 😂 And I was using Pregnacare but it made my nausea so much worse so I switched to Seven Seas.

Great to see you had another positive scan @mrshodgy21 🥰

So glad your scan went well @Raindrops2015!! Great news ☺️

I feel exactly the same @HoneyLemon29, it's exhausting. I don't fancy any foods at all but if I don't eat, my nausea is 10 times worse. I'm definitely going to mention it to my midwife on Thursday. Good luck with your scan tomorrow!

Xx

@Cruz86 I'm not gonna lie I'm feeling pretty rough really struggling. I hope it gets easier 😩 IV been at work today and I feel like iv been hit by a bus don't know what to do with myself I'm exhausted and headaches and nausea just want to cry 🙈 yes my scan is on Monday and my anxiety is through the roof right now. X

Oh man that is so annoying @Skl2021 😩 I would've thought it would start to ease off by now! I guess it's all a good sign that things are okay though? Have you got any plans tomorrow to keep yourself busy? Xx

Just popping on to say Happy Mother's Day 💕 to the ladies that already have children and all of us who are expecting, I hope we have our little rainbows in our arms on Mother's Day next year 🌈❤️🌈

@Skl2021 I can physically eat it's just really difficult to be able to do so with the feeling sick all the time. I have had to just go for it a few times now. Most things I used to enjoy I now don't x

Thank you @Cruz86 it's in a couple of hours and praying everything is ok especially on Mother's Day 😖😖 x

@Cruz86 so did I 🙈 I hope I don't feel like this all the time or I'm just a wuss 🤣 no not doing anything fancy just the usual and obviously see my mum and mum in law. The thought of going to scan tomorrow is making me feel sick I know I'm going to break down as soon as I enter that room I hate it. Already having flashbacks x

@arianasky happy mother's day lovely 💕🌈 xx

@HoneyLemon29 I know it's hard and you don't want to just try and eat little and often it is hard as I don't want to either but it does make me feel a little better. Good luck with your scan today xx

Just had another big bright red bleed after a week of nothing. Feeling so down. Wish I'd had my scan on Friday to know if all is ok or not. Not sure what to do now other than wait for weds... xx

@Bridgey8 hopefully it was just the rest of what had to come away. Keep strong 💕 I'm sure everything will be ok. You haven't had any pain or clots? Xx

@Skl2021 there was a little tiny clot with this bleed but no pain xx

@Bridgey8 I'm sure everything will be ok. They did say u might bleed again didn't they? Hopefully that's all of it now. Only a few more days until your scan 💞 xx

Happy Mother’s Day to you all 💕 xx

Thinking of you @Bridgey8 - I also think it will be fine. Have you got a date for another one?

@flowergarden16 my scan is Wednesday. I doubt with my covid they will want to get me in before. Like @Skl2021 says I just hope it's the haematoma clearing out but it's so horrible to see it each time and you can't help but think the worst. No pain as normal.

@Skl2021 wishing you all the luck for tomorrow - know it will be fine xxx

That's good @Bridgey8 . I'm really sure you'll be fine. Especially with no pain. I know how hard it it. We'll all be thinking of you

@Bridgey8 thankyou 💕 xx

Good luck for your scan tomorrow @Skl2021 and for you on Wednesday @Bridgey8 - I can’t imagine how on edge you are with the bleed but hopefully like everyone has said, they said this may happen so absolutely everything crossed it’s just the last of that! I also have a scan on Tuesday, private one so I’m a bit anxious about it but hopefully all will be ok for all of us!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you lovely ladies ♥️

Happy Mother’s Day lovely ladies 💕 we’ve been away for the weekend so not bad much time to catch up.

Fingers crossed it’s just the rest of the hematoma as they said it could be @Bridgey8, so frustrating you didn’t get to have your scan on Friday as planned. Roll on Wed 🙏🏼🤞🏼Xx

@Skl2021 good luck for tomorrow, let us know how you get on xx

@Skl2021 good luck for your scan tomorrow lovely, I have everything crossed for you 🌈❤️

@Bridgey8 same for you on Wednesday lovely 🌈❤️

I meant to say this morning I had a 3+ on clearblue weeks indicator I had my 2-3 on Tuesday and was going to test again this Tuesday but the last few days my symptoms have started picking up so thought I'd give it a go and I got the 3+ it really made me smile on Mother's Day 💕

Good luck for scans next week everyone! I will be 5 weeks tomorrow so am looking forward to ringing EPAU to make an appointment to check location of the pregnancy. It's the little milestones that I'm aiming for! I still can't shake this anxiety that it's ectopic again, and if it isn't then I'll be so scared about losing it again.

I was 12+2 last time and I have no idea what gestation the baby got to because I passed it at home and couldn't look at it. 😭 I hate all this worry, but it will be worth it.

Evening everyone. I'm getting myself worked up over my dates again after my scan today
Private scan with prediction from LMP was 6.0 weeks and showed 5+4..
NHS scan 5 days later showing 6 weeks exact when I should be 6+5...
My cycles are 28 days with ovulation occurring halfway through proven with LH strips and BT tracking so I know I'm not off my dates. Positive HPT was at 8DPO.
Baby was 3.5mm at the first scan and 5 days later only 4.7mm
They had no concerns but they wasn't made aware of the private scan 5 days ago as they don't really take them into account. I will be booking another private scan for in roughly 2/3 weeks time but I can't help but worry 🥺🥺
Heartbeat, G.sac and Yolk all looked fine they said but my minds gone into anxious mode 😢

@HoneyLemon29 I dont know if this will offer any reassurance at all but I've seen people say that when measuring that early, even being 1mm out on the scan can add up to a day or two being off and that the measurements only become more accurate when things get bigger at the 12 weeks and that's why they don't date the pregnancy until then. And that sometimes it depends on the sonographer with how accurate they can be too. And I'm sure the actual equipment will come in to account too!

Please try not to worry yourself - I know how hard it is though! ❤️
