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 😂

@aesgriff I’m so pleased that your scan went well ♥️ And I hope you’re goes well tomorrow, how far along are you? @mrshodgy21 xx

Hi ladies, sorry I've been working this evening because I decided to go and get my nails redone this afternoon 😂 I need to scroll right back...

@JuniperAndTonic so glad you were reassured at 8 weeks! The 28th does feel like ages away but I bet it will be here before you know it. I'm okay thank you, also very tired but my symptoms aren't as strong as they have been and I'm only 6 weeks, so a little nervous today.

@thunderonlyhappenswhenits congratulations on your pregnancy after what must have been a very long, difficult 7 years. I would definitely talk to your gp/midwife about your anxiety and obsessive tendencies so you get the help you need.

@Raindrops2015 I know it's hard not to, but I'd try not to worry about the measurements at this stage. Everything is still so small and there could be the slightest discrepancy that changes the information you see online.

My scan isn't until next Thursday @aesgriff 😩 But I'm starting to worry because my symptoms are pretty non existent and I'm only 6 weeks.

Good luck for your scans tomorrow @mrshodgy21 and @speake. Thinking of you both xx

Yay @aesgriff fabulous news!!!!!

@Prayingformyrainbow93 I am 6 + 5
Had 3 mmc last year x

@speake good luck for the scan today x

Thank you for the good wishes ladies. I can’t believe what I’m writing, baby is measuring 7 weeks with a strong heartbeat 😭🤍 I had written us off so I’m absolutely elated, what a rollercoaster of emotion. My spotting has stopped today so praying it stays that way xxx

Good luck @speake today - thinking of you xx

@speake lovely news 💕 🌈 hope the spotting stops now 🙌 xx

Yay!! Congratulations @speake, what a fantastic update. What a rollercoaster this thread has been already ❤️

@speake amazing!!! This whole process is such a 🎢

How is everyone else feeling today cx

@speake that’s great news congratulations!!

I was up all through the night last night with nausea, ended up eating Cheerios at 1am then my 3 yr old was such a handful this morning, all of a sudden holding in her no.2s so lots of messes 🙈 so behind with work too, I just wana go to bed!!

That's great @speake I've been feeling nauseous - currently eating dry ryvita at work. I look a total mess as don't have the energy to make any effort

@Bridgey8 soooooooo tired 🤦 need to get up and do something before I go back to bed 🙈 xx

@speake what amazing news on ur scan so happy for you! X

Just had my scan this morning was a nervous wreck
There's a baby with a heart beat and I'm measuring 6+6 so a day a head
And they agreed to rescan me at 10 weeks as 9 weeks is when we found out no heart beat with the last 3 x

@mrshodgy21 great news 🙌🌈 so glad u got a rescan aswell x

@Skl2021 was the consultant that scanned me he was really nice so happy agreed to scan me
And I ain't gotta pay for a private
Now the wait to 10 weeks 🤦🏽‍♀️ x

@mrshodgy21 it's great when u see people who understand! Hope it goes quickly for you! Time is going so slow for me 🤦 anxiety is creeping higher x

So happy for you too @mrshodgy21! You’ll need to plan loads for the next couple of weeks so the time doesn’t drag too much to your next one xxx

Thank you for your support ladies, means the world! Hope everyone else is doing ok today 🤍

@mrshodgy21 wahoo! Great news!!! Oh god I hate to break it to you but 6-10 weeks has felt like the longest 4 weeks of my life. Agree plan lots of good stuff!!

Just have to
Keep telling myself this is a new pregnancy and at least try and stay positive but I no I'm gonna be anxious x

Morning everyone. Haven't read through the thread yet but congratulations on those with positive scan outcomes and sorry to hear about ladies with high anxiety at the moment.

I've just had my results for 4+1 HCG beta results, do they seem a little high? I'm about to take my 4+3 day second HCG test to see how they've progressed. These results won't come for a couple of days and anxiety is high as ever waiting x

@mrshodgy21 and @speake - So pleased for you both, that's lovely to hear.

@HoneyLemon29 I don’t think they seem high, that number would put you between 4 & 5 weeks which is what you are 🤍🙏🏼 Especially as you could always be out by a day or two. Fantastic results, looking forward to seeing the next one higher than 1600 xxx

I gave the EPU one last shove and told them my results. They want me in tonight for their own blood test which means they'll be booking the scan for next week rather than 2 weeks time 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 I'm thrilled and so nervous 😬
