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 😂

I’m ok thanks @Cruz86 just full of worry as always & I’ve also now tested positive for Covid 😭 Hoping it doesn’t have any negative effect on our little bean 🙏🏼 Hope you’re ok too! Xx

@HoneyLemon29 it does sound like such positive growth, I honestly think it wouldn’t matter the growth / days / cm you’d still be worried as it’s the shitty situation we find ourselves in ☹️ All is sounding great though, keeping everything crossed for you!

@Bridgey8 I’ll be thinking about you tomorrow too, can’t imagine how worrying it is with the haematoma bleeding continuing. Fingers crossed it’s tapering off now & you get the best news tomorrow that everything is ok 🤍

@arianasky I’m so glad everything is looking positive for you too! Xxx

I’m thinking of booking in a private scan for when I’m Covid free to check everything is ok, I’m just shy of 10 weeks now & not sure I can wait another 2/3 weeks for my 12 week scan. Haven’t had a date through yet so no guarantee it’ll even be as early as 12 weeks 😣 Wish we could stop the worry for us all xxx

Hey @Cruz86 ♥️ I’ve been staying away a bit as I can’t help but googled everything and sometimes I get a bit anxious thinking ‘oh they’re feeling X but I’m feeling Y is this ok’. So sorry all I’ve been a bit antisocial!
I’m 10 weeks and due to have my booking appointment next week with a private scan tomorrow.
I have got almost stabbing pains in my ovaries.. very strange!! So sorry that you’ve been so poorly xx

@speake did you ever hear back about the yellow discharge? Xx

@Skl2021 amazing news about your scan 😍 xx

@flowergarden16 I thought I would feel better after 12 week scan but the anxiety and worry is still there so I don't think that will ever go always in the back of your head 😣 xx

@speake so sorry u have covid. Hope your not too bad with it 💞 xx

@aesgriff thankyou 💞 and good luck with your scan tomorrow! 💞🌈 Xx

@speake oh no I'm sorry to hear you've caught COVID rest up 💕

@aesgriff glad you’re doing ok, hope your scan goes well tomorrow too. Are you having them weekly at the moment? Bizzarely the results came back that I had thrush!! But I had no other symptoms other than that yellow cm which doesn’t even come up as a symptom! Although right enough now I’ve treated that the yellowy cm has stopped. Horrible topic sorry 🙈

Thanks ladies, not feeling too bad at the moment just flu like & adhoc pesky nose bleeds! Xxx

@speake oooh that’s interesting! I think I may phone my GP too and raise it. How did you treat it? Is it with a pessary? So many objects going up my hooha 🤣 I’m having (private) fortnightly scans at the moment. Keeping all fingers crossed for a heartbeat on Thursday as then my risk of miscarriage drops to 0.6% according to Tommy’s 🙏🏻 Rubbish about your positive covid test! Have you let the midwives know? Xx

@aesgriff yeah just another pessary, what’s one more 🙈 Although the GP said treatment was fine in pregnancy I did double check with the midwife who confirmed. She did also say thrush is more common if you’re on progesterone as it upsets all the natural flora/fauna. Who knew!

That’s great, I’m sure things will be good on Thursday. Feeling positive for you 🤍🤞🏼

I haven’t led the midwife know about Covid but I may give EPU a call when I’m negative and ask to go in for a check. There are only a couple of private scan places near me and neither are particularly sensitive / good at delivering bad news so would prefer to stick to the EPU if they’ll have me 🙏🏼 xxx

@speake exactly what is one more pessary 🤣🤣 thanks for letting me know. I think I may try the over the counter one if I don’t hear from the GP by the end of the week. I got a ‘we’re very busy’ text yesterday which I am assuming means I won’t be top of the list.
I totally get what you’re saying about the delivery of bad news. Every time I’ve asked them to let me know ASAP and then said if it’s bad news please just keep talking whilst you complete the checks as it’s the silence I can’t handle. Fingers crossed EPU will have you I don’t see why not xx

Hello ladies! I’ve had my scan, measuring about 7+2 and saw a heartbeat 😊 they also said they would scan me again for free in 2 weeks as will be able to see much more than just a “blob”. How lovely is that! Xx

Massive congrats @Prayingformyrainbow93 !

@Prayingformyrainbow93 lovely news 💞🌈✨ xx

How exciting @Skl2021! Is anyone else going to find out the sex of their baby? I think we are this time round too. I'll ask my midwife on Thursday to see if anything can be given for the sickness 🤢

I'm sure you are @Bridgey8 but I have every faith that it'll all be okay. Glad you're not feeling too bad with Covid but day 10 and still positive!! That's crazy.

Nooo, can't believe you've got Covid too @speake! Hope it doesn't affect you too much and I'm sure baby bean will be okay 🤞🏻

Hi @aesgriff, there's no need to apologise! You've got to do what's best for you at the moment. It's a worrying time. Glad you're okay though and good luck for your scan tomorrow! Every pregnancy is so different but I know it's hard not to compare ❤️

Congratulations @Prayingformyrainbow93! That's wonderful news 🥰

Okay so I need to start ordering bigger clothes already argh. I need some good bottoms that don't have a big waistband because I'm at the stage at the mo where it can dig in sometimes and just look like extra podge rather than pregnancy. Has anyone bought any good leggings, loungewear sets, gym sets (not that I go to the gym!!) that they'd recommend?

Xx

@Cruz86 I said this pregnancy I wanted to do everything I haven't done with my others as it will be my last. Never had a early gender scan or reveal and I also just want a bit more reasurance after yesterday's scan. How your little one now? Xx

@Cruz86 I have some wide leg sweatpant style trousers from M&S which are ridiculously comfy and also look really nice.. I'm living in them at the minute but the waistband is getting a little tight due to all the bloating but I swear by them!

Ah I love that @Skl2021. How many do you have already and are they boys? I think the wait between 12 and 20 weeks is definitely too much! Xx

Amazing, thanks @scoutcat. I love wide leg trousers! X

@Cruz86 I have two, both boys! Yes it is a very long wait 🙈 I think once u start feeling movement u will feel more reasured but these early stages is hard between scans! X

Aww cute! Would you like a girl @Skl2021 or do you not mind? Do your boys know yet? I haven't said anything to mine yet! And yes he's much better now thank you ☺️ Yeah I agree, movements are so much more reassuring and you know you can go in if anything is wrong xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 congratulations tats amazing news 🌈🌈

I've had a few cramps during the night and this morning it's like I catch them on a breath and they're on my right side and quite sharp like I can feel it in my bum too 🤷🏻‍♀️ sorry if tmi. Has anyone felt this before? Obviously I'm worrying with cramps but they don't feel bad I don't know?

@Cruz86 yes I would love a girl but if it's another boy he will be loved all the same. Healthy baby is most important and Maybe I'm meant to be a boy mum 🙊 so glad.little one is feeling better 💕 have u just got one little boy? X

@Bridgey8 good luck today 💕🌈 xx

@arianasky hopefully it's just everything stretching. I have had all sorts of weird pains and twinges. Obviously if it starts to hurt I would get checked out. It is a worry tho hope it stops xx

Do you think it could be wind @arianasky sometimes when I feel like I’m a bit crampy and once I pass wind it’s gone 🤣 xx
