Navigating pregnancy after loss thread 2

[Cruz86]

New thread as we all continue our journeys in pregnancy 🌈❤️

@Annny27 oh lovely I am thinking of you ♥️ Take all the time you need, we’ll be here when you’re ready xx

So happy for everyone’s scans ♥️

@Skl2021 sooo happy you’ve booked a private scan!!! And a gender one too eeee 🥰🥰 xx

@Cruz86 bless you it sounds like you’ve had a rotten time of it!! How’s today been for you? I’m on thank you, just like you trying to stay positive. Still bleeding.. sigh think this will just be my life now!!! Xx

@Bridgey8 oh no!!! God it’s so shit!! Have you had any luck with triage? Xx

@Skl2021 ohhhh a gender scan! Exciting xxx

@aesgriff nope no luck. I rang this eve and they were like yep we can't talk to you until tomorrow 🙄🙄 so going to ring them at 8am.

Girlies what would you do... I've bled throughout as you know. Bled yesterday for first time in a week and I would say it was a 5p size spot on pants. And a tiny bit when I wiped. That stopped yesterday avo and nada since. Strong heartbeat with midwife.

If triage won't see me... Would you fly?

Congratulations @arianasky, @sunnyd67 and @mrshodgy21. So happy your scans were all okay! 🌈

@Annny27 I'm sorry to hear you've got some uncertainty until the results come back. Thinking of you and hoping for a good outcome ❤️

@Bridgey8 what an absolute nightmare! I can't believe epu didn't just book you a scan for tomorrow to put your mind at rest. Did your midwife say anything to you about flying after this bleeding episode?

I've eaten loads more again today @aesgriff! Had a bit of a meltdown to my husband this evening about feeling like something is wrong 😩 It's so hard to stay positive isn't it?! I can't believe you've had to deal with bleeding all this time. The anxiety it must cause whenever you see it 😞

Eek, a gender scan @Skl2021!! How exciting that we're getting closer to this time in pregnancy in this thread 🥰

Xx

@Bridgey8 I hope you manage to get somewhere with them when you phone this morning! 🙏🏼🤞🏼 it’s so hard to know what to do for the best until you’re in the situation & only you and your other half will know what feels right. For me, given you’ve been unlucky to have bleeding for the last few weeks & it’s “not a new thing” I would probably still go as I think a relaxing few days would do you good! I personally find that I worry far more about things if im sitting at home too vs if my mind is occupied. As far as I’m aware there are no risks associated with flying at this stage or anything like that. Hopefully you manage to get seen today & can make a more informed decision that you’re comfortable with 🤞🏼 Let us know how you get on xxx

My scan isn’t until 2.20, it’s going to be a long day!

Biggest luck for your scan this afternoon @speake! Thinking of you 🌈❤️

Ladies, for those of you who are a little further on, have you found that any initial bloating has eased off as you get to 11/12 weeks? I've been so bloated from about 6-10 weeks and now it's gone back to being a bit squishy with a little pop belly at the bottom. Of course, this is worrying me along with loss of symptoms 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

Hi @Cruz86 is this your first? With mine first that happened with me. I went on holiday about 14 weeks and some awful man said 'I don't think your pregnant' when we were chatting to his wife! I think it's quite normal once the hormones settle x

No it's my second @flowergarden16. I can't remember what it was like with my first though! Looking back at pictures, I've got a feeling it was actually quite similar. Think I'm just stressing because it's been a couple of weeks since my scan! X

@Cruz86 I think I’ve got the same as what you’ve described, especially in the morning. It does seem to go back to being more firm / noticeable at night time though (after a full day of food / bloat) xxx

I totally relate @Cruz86 I am so anxious now. Had scan last weds. It's a journey!

I think the hard thing is with MMC there are no symptoms so you can't even go in there is no pain and blood I'm fine. But the chances are all IS fine x

@calimc83 I'm scared I hope everything is ok 🤞🤞 xx

@speake good luck today. ❤️ Xx

@Cruz86 I just feel podgy and fat 🤣 it's not hard or bump shaped. But I'm not small to start with xx

Good luck @speake xx

Good luck this afternoon @speake 🌈💕

I think I spoke too soon about having no symptoms, just thrown up 😆 You're right @flowergarden16, it is so difficult. You can't just go in and say I feel like something is wrong, can you check please! We're likely to feel like this for a while.

Yeah that's exactly what happens with me @speake, glad it seems to be normal!

@Skl2021 I'm at the in between stage at the moment 😂 Really would love my bump to look like a proper bump soon!

Xx

@cruz86, snap! I was having a symptom free day yesterday and today almost threw up because of the texture of my morning slice of toast. I totally squandered my free day, went to Tesco's and faffed around. I should have been so much more productive!

Anyone doing anything exciting this bank holiday weekend 🤔☀️🎉 xx

Best of luck @speake 🥰

Good luck @speake and congratulations to all those wonderful scans!!

Covid is well and truly kicking my bum. I had it Oct 2020 and it must have been a mild dose because this one has really knocked me off my feet and I've had 3 covid jabs!! Is there anything I can take to unblock my nose at all? I think I remember the Sudafed nasal spray is a no during pregnancy and that is usually my go to. 😞

I've got everything crossed that I will be negative before Tuesday for my scan!

I just went body boarding in the freezing Cornish water! Not sure if that's allowed haha

Good luck today everyone x

@scoutcat sorry to hear COVID is really affecting you, I know Vicks is safe in pregnancy if that's any help? Rest up and take it easy and hope it clears for your scan 💕

@Skl2021 not much of an exciting bank hol here, but telling the in laws about the pregnancy on Sunday you?

so this is a weird one ladies, my nipples have a dry skin type feeling to them that has only appeared in the last two days? Has anyone else experienced this sorry if TMI 🙈

@arianasky not much here either 🙈 feel like I should be doing something 🤣 aww are just telling them or doing a special announcement? Xx

@Skl2021 you'll be fine 🥰 just booked my first midwife appointment. Staying with my parents these weekend, just been out for lunch ( DH's birthday on Sunday) and will take the kids to the beach 🏖 this aft xx

@calimc83 how exciting makes it a bit more real now when you have appointments 😍 ooo that sounds lovely! Weather isn't great here 😣 might try and get out for the day over the weekend if it brightens up! X

Hi, I wondered if anyone has any advice at all. I had a MMC in December and I'm now 6+2 according to LMP but I was tracking ovulation and know that I ovulated a week late making me 5+3. I started bleeding this morning and I've had a lot of cramps, spoke with EPU who obviously need a referral (which I've now got and should get a call tomorrow for an appointment) but they also said they don't have any appointments until next week. I booked a private scan for this evening in desperation but now I'm panicking that it might be too early to see anything. Has anyone had any scans this early on for reassurance or am I just wasting my money? 😩 TIA x
