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 😂

@Cruz86 sorry forgot to say haven't told the boys yet I'm to scared incase something goes wrong again. We told them last time and then I miscarried and they were so upset xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 it may be gas I was very gassy yesterday 😂 but like it was all trapped and making my stomach feel 20 times bigger than normal 😬

@Skl2021 yeah I think it is just normal twinges but because of the past I'm over thinking, it definitely isn't painful just more noticeable when it happens if that makes sense 💕

@arianasky I'm having exactly what you are. Right sided pain and bad cramps that I feel in the back of my right bum cheek!
It's making me worry that it's another ectopic but apparently it's really common in early pregnancy and is one of the most asked questions in the pregnancy after ectopic group that I'm in too.. so I'm just putting it down to an early pregnancy thing!

@scoutcat that's reassuring thank you, yeah it isn't painful but it comes on for like 2/3 seconds randomly and quite sharp, hoping it's just uterus expanding or something 💕🌈

Thanks @Skl2021 so scared... going to be a long day xxx

@Bridgey8 what times your appointment? Xx

@arianasky mine sticks around for a while and is really dull.. I just phone EPU and asked for advice but they weren't helpful other than "we can't scan until 6 weeks" 🙃

@Bridgey8 good luck today!

@scoutcat well mine has been there for about two hours coming and going so now I'm worrying a little, I'm 6 weeks tomorrow and already have a scan booked for Monday so guess I'll just wait it out until then and hope it isn't a bad sign 🙏🏻

@Skl2021 not till 4 xx

@Bridgey8 try and keep busy and hopefully it will fly by 🤞I know easier said than done! I'm sure everything will be fine 💞 xx

Thanks @Skl2021 - going to scan on my own as hubby has just started a new job this week and can't get out. Need to put my brave girl pants on xx

@Bridgey8 your not alone were all here right behind you 💞 you can do this xx

@Bridgey8 good luck lovely I have everything crossed for you 💕

@Bridgey8 good luck, we’re all holding your hand virtually 💕

@arianasky your pains sound quite normal, just with things stretching out etc but if they persist & you’re worried definitely give EPU a ring for peace of mind xxx

@speake thank you, yes I think they are normal I'm just overthinking it all, I'll be a bit calmer on Monday after the scan 🤞🏻🌈

@arianasky this happens to me. Especially if I move a certain way or cough or sneeze. Down the left and right side of uterus sometimes underneath. A sharp horrible pain like I've just torn a muscle that makes me tense up but only lasts about 10 seconds x

Good luck today @Bridgey8 x

@HoneyLemon29 yes! When I cough it happens or if I turn or bend to quickly so strange isn't it

The Dr has prescribed me cyclizine for the vomiting so hopefully that will help 🤞🏻 I've got counselling at 3 through work that they sorted for me after the last miscarriage so hopefully it'll help with anxiety a bit

@arianasky I hope the counselling goes well for you 💜
I used to worry so much about the pain but I've seen baby's heart twice and listen daily through the monitor so I know the pains are completely normal and for sure just everything stretching out ☺️ x

@HoneyLemon29 thank you 💕 that makes me feel a bit better 💕

@arianasky I've had all sorts of strange pains - when I get up out of a low chair, mostly. I put it down to things moving/stretching.

@Bridgey8 here to virtually hold your hand today - not long to wait now.

Aww yeah that's true @Skl2021, destined for boys! Does this pregnancy feel any different to your two boys? I don't blame you for not telling them yet, I haven't said anything to my little one and won't until 12 weeks. Yeah I've just got the one boy 🥰

@arianasky I also get that pulling pain when I cough, sneeze, stretch, move too quickly 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 And it's normally worse if I'm feeling gassy.

Thinking of you @Bridgey8 ❤️

Xx

Thanks so much for all the support and hand holding. The little bean was chilled as anything but all fine and the blood clot has disappeared 🍾 so relieved... for now! 13 weeks 5 days 💕

@barneymcgroo @Cruz86 ah thank you ladies you've all reassured me, I'm obviously just being a bit daft thank you all 💕

@Bridgey8 oh my!! How cute that is amazing congratulations, I'm so happy for you 💕🌈

Congratulations @Bridgey8 how lovely that you’re already that far along! Hope everything goes smoothly for you now xx

Congratulations @Bridgey8! I have been thinking of you all day. What a lovely scan picture. 🥰
