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 😂

Im now testing negative. Waiting for the inevitable now. This is my third loss in a row. Im devastated beyond words. Thanks for the support on here. x

@calimc83 he's miserable and I'm not great I have tested positive for covid 😭 x

@pinkblush29 I'm so sorry 💕 take care of yourself xx

@Skl2021 oh no, rest up and take it easy ❤️

@pinkblush29 i'm so sorry 😞💕

@arianasky thanks 💓 I'm so anxious I'm scared something is going to happen 😣 xx

@Skl2021 oh no!! Didn't u only have it a few months ago? Xx
@pinkblush29 so sorry lovely x

@calimc83 yes had it in January 😣 I'm convinced something has gone wrong 😩 xx

@pinkblush29 I’m so sorry 😞 xx

@Skl2021 hand hold ♥️ So hard to think straight when you want it so bad. Would booking an early scan help? Xx

@Cruz86 how’s your sicky feeling? Xx

@Skl2021 if it helps I had covid last week when I got my BFP? 2nd time around with covid and it wasn't as bad xx

@aesgriff might book a gender scan at 16 weeks. I just feel like everything is going wrong at once. 😩 Xx

@calimc83 I didn't have any symptoms when I had it first time but this time I'm feeling rough but obviously I'm pregnant so that might be why it's worse? And trying to look after my youngest who isn't feeling great it's just hard. Hoping it doesn't get any worse.🤞 Xx

@Skl2021 plenty of paracetamol, rest when u can. Lots of TV for the kids 😫😬 xx

@calimc83 I haven't moved off the sofa all day 🙈 just keep sleeping. I just hope baby isn't affected or by the chicken pox as I'm not sure if I have ever had it 🤦 but I have no spots or anything x

@pinkblush29 I’m so sorry, look after yourself & I hope you can get some more answers from your gynaecologist!

@Skl2021 hope you aren’t feeling too bad with Covid 🙏🏼 I was lucky to have quite mild symptoms but the advice I got was just to try and rest, stay hydrated, maintain eating a balanced diet even if loss of appetite / sense of taste & smell & to take paracetamol to control any spike in temperature. Hope you feel better soon, definitely contact your midwife for advice if you’re worried though xxx

@Skl2021 I bet u had it when u were little. Try not to worry ( I know easier said than done) can u message your midwife and she if she can reassure u? X

@speake when I had it last time I had no symptoms but yes I'm trying to drink lots and just sleep it off xx

@calimc83 yes I probably have had it just makes u worry 🙈 shouldn't be googling it 🤦 I tried yesterday to contact her will try again on Monday but she never gets back to me 🙄 xx

Hope you feel better @Skl2021 - I had covid at 12 weeks and saw the baby at 14 and they seemed fine. Hope you feel much better soon. Get checked on the chicken pox with your midwife - I don't know if I have had it either and they said if I came into contact they would run a test to check whether I had the antibodies xx

@Bridgey8 did u feel rough? I'm really anxious like something will happen or happened 🤦 and the chances of both things at once I couldn't believe it 😣 I did try and contact my midwife but she hasn't got back to me will try again Monday but probably too late then as he has had them for a few days now xx

@Skl2021 I did feel rough with covid. Sore throat, more tired and breathless with a snotty nose. The midwife told me to ring the gp and they gave me a thing you put on your finger to measure your blood oxygen levels. I did that twice a day for 10 days and had to submit them in an app. So many of my friends are pregnant at mo and have had covid... babies are all fine tho xx

Glad you made it on the bus without throwing up @arianasky 😆 Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

@pinkblush29 sorry to hear about your tests 😞 Wishing you all the best.

Noooo @Skl2021! What a bloody nightmare! I think you can get an antibody test from your midwife for the chicken pox, but obviously if you have Covid I'm not sure how that will work. Hope you both feel better soon.

@aesgriff it's draining. I had a massive cry last night because I'm fed up of feeling sick all the time and I feel like I'm being such a terrible mum at the moment 😩 Hope you're okay?

Xx

@calimc83 aww you are trying your best!!!! I am positive you are doing amazing and you need to cut yourself some slack as your body is working hard to grow baby. I’m ok, brown spotting started again last night and is here this morning still… sigh… got a scan on Tuesday and after my last experience I won’t be running to A&E/EPU any time soon xx

The calm after the ectopic scare is starting to fade away and the anxiety is creeping in! Eeek. Good job my boobs are reassuringly painful.

I've got my booking in appointment tomorrow and I'm not actually sure where it is and I've realised I've got my son at home with me.. I don't think I can take him can I? I didn't think this one through!

@Bridgey8 thankyou yes I feel the same very sleepy sore throat headaches hoping midwife gets back to me tomorrow 🤞 and hope I'm over the worst 🤞 xx

@Cruz86 yes I read that but I think you have to have it quite quickly? Or the anti virals if your not immune so think I'm past that time frame now anyway 😣 and now covid don't know if they would see me. Just need to hope for the best and pray baby is ok 🤞💓 and btw take it easy we have all been there your not a terrible mum! Sickness is horrible 😣 it will get better and your little one won't remember 💞 xx

@aesgriff hope your spotting stops and your scan goes well 💓 xx

@scoutcat good luck with your booking appointment 💞 I don't think you can take children tho 🤔 xx

@Cruz86 thank you! I did it was lovely I really enjoyed, a few dodgy moments on the tube when I was heaving but managed not to throw up everywhere 😂 I'm home now and exhausted so a nice early night for me, I have my booking appointment tomorrow morning, how is everyone?

@scoutcat my midwife is coming to my house so I'm not too sure about that sorry 💕

Well done for getting through it @arianasky! Think the last time I was heaving on the tube was when I was massively hungover, a lifetime ago. Ahhh, memories...

Oh @Skl2021, hope you feel better soon! Being ill on top of being pregnant is just bloody awful, hope you're on the mend.

@scoutcat Not sure about taking children with you - mine took aaaaages, and the boys definitely wouldn't have sat through it. Hope it goes well.

@aesgriff I think some of us are just spotters... Hope your scan on Tuesday is positive - it's so scary when you see blood, but having had reassuring ones before, it hopefully helps you to be calm about it.

@Cruz86 You're allowed a massive cry, but you're not a terrible mum! Hormones are terrible - I find myself much shorter tempered than usual and have to go and take a breath from time to time. You're doing amazingly!

@pinkblush29 I'm so so sorry. This must be such a difficult time, and we're all thinking of you. X

Thanks everyone. Luckily my father in law has stepped in.. phew! 7 weeks today! How is everyone else doing?
