Navigating pregnancy after loss thread 3

[Cruz86]

New thread before the other one fills up completely! 🥰❤️🌈

@flowergarden16 thank you, it's so hard not to worry isn't it, hopefully the scan will give me some reassurance ❤️

@Tofu35 that's great, I remember being told face to face by my sister and I felt really blindsided and didn't know how to react, I would have really appreciated a text to allow me to take it in in my own time.

Morning ladies. My hips are killing me after side sleeping. I think my mattress isn't very comfy haha 😅

@Arwen7 hahah your baby boy made himself very obvious In the scan then 🤣🤣 yeah it must be tricky if you don't want to know if it's so clear!

@Tofu35 glad that she still wants to meet up 🥰🥰

@sunnyd67 my bowel movements increased when I stopped the progesterone so the cramps you are feeling may be bowel related!

Oh my tags didn't work in my message above @Arwen7 @sunnyd67 @Tofu35

@Skl2021 how are you doing lovely? Hopefully the itching has eased off 🤞🏼 Xxx

@speake1 weirdly I haven't been itching since I started the antibiotics 🤔 but didn't think a UTI would cause such severe itching unless it's just a coincidence. I'm back at dau next week again for repeat bloods as one of my liver tests are higher than they should be 😩 but there sure it's not cholestatis. Still worried tho if my liver isn't coping well 😣 xx

@Annny27 my hips are hurting so much too! I wake up and all my leg joints hurt - ankles, knees and hips! Sleeping with a pillow between my knees seems to make it a little better.

Haven’t posted in a while on here, hope everyone is well! We’re joining team blue 💙 which will give us one of each, my daughter was devastated at first but is pulling round now! Haha. It’s approaching what would have been our due date if our last pregnancy hadn’t ended in MC, and I know I’m pregnant and so so grateful for that but can’t help be a little sad at the same time , it’s such a confusing feeling that I guess not many people will understanding so hoping someone on here might .

aside from that … back pain, groin pain and thrush! Someone pass me some ice cream!!

@Sassy144 good luck for Tuesday 🤞 I have days when im not feeling much, it’s like the days are going by so slow, it’s torture and I won’t book an early scan because of my experience last time. Let us know how you get on though, it’s hard not to worry.

@1stTimeTina congratulations on joining team blue 💙 my due date was mixed for me too. I did cry as it was upsetting thinking about what should have been but also happy as I'm pregnant again. I don't think there's a right or wrong way to feel. Hope your ok 💕 x

@1stTimeTina Ahhh, that's so lovely 💙Congratulations!

Good luck for your scan on Tuesday @Sassy144. The early days are so difficult 😞

Aw amazing @flowergarden16. You've got a slightly smaller gap between the two than me.

@Skl2021 glad your itching has eased and hopefully your next set of bloods will come back okay too. The good thing is it's been picked up so at least plans can be put in place if need be ☺️

@sunnyd67 I've felt particularly weird this past couple of days too, can't put my finger on it. And I've also been more crampy as well. Hopefully it's just because of everything going on in there!

Congratulations on joining team 💙 @1stTimeTina!!

My hips and lower back hurt in the mornings too but I think I'm still sleeping on my back quite a lot 😩 Starting to think it might be time for the wonderful pregnancy pillow to make an appearance 😂

Xx

@1stTimeTina congratulations 💙

@Cruz86 I am exactly the same at the moment, I'm not just sure if it's the nerves for today's scan, if it's the progesterone, or if anything else. I'm having strange right sided pain, like very low down, but it's not cramping, it's more like a stretching and burning sensation, I can't even explain it.

@1stTimeTina congratulations! 💙 lots of boys!!

@sunnyd67 @Cruz86 I've had that exact right side feeling for the past few days like a stretchy feeling

@arianasky I'm guessing it's normal then 😁 i have never been this pregnant before, so I don't really know what to expect

@sunnyd67 @arianasky its round ligament pain! The uterus is stretching and the ligament that keeps it to the groin is also stretching and this is what causes the pain. It's like a stitch/ burn for me and is worse when I walk!

@Cruz86 I think we are okay to back sleep untill 28 weeks!

Yes I also get that pain, sometimes sharp but never lasting long. Especially when walking, standing up, sneezing, turning in bed, when bladder is full... basically quite often! I put it down to round ligament pain too and if it's in the right side it makes sense as it can be felt more on the right.

@sunnyd67 same this is the furthest I've got also

@Annny27 @Arwen7 yeah it's the same for me also if I'm walking or in the car sometimes I feel it and when my bladders full it tends to happen more often like in the night when I roll over 😂

Hi everyone on here, tentatively watching from a far whilst we TTC, however I'm now under Prof Quenby's care and wondered if any of you here are just on progesterone following your previous losses? Or has anyone done the CERM trial or taken Doxycycline privately? I'm nervous about the next step so looking for those with experience of either after RMC xx

@FfayeN just progesterone here. Went through testing, no issues found.

Those who have felt definite flutters when did you feel them first? And same for kicks? I'm just being a bit nosey and inquisitive 😂

Any advice on how to stop being so full of anxiety about this pregnancy it’s eating me up my last one in December I had miscarried at 7+2 I’m and currently 6 weeks it’s messing up my relationship too

Anyone using a stretch mark cream the recommend? I haven't so far but I have been Itchy today in bump so think I could do with some moisturising

@arianasky felt flutters around 15/16 weeks and then little taps end of 17 weeks!

@Confusedmumof4maybe5 I was very anxious (still am haha) but i just tried to watch TV I liked and keep myself busy to try distract!

@Arwen7 yep mines mostly on the right!

@arianasky I have anterior placenta, so really not feeling as early as with my previous pregnancies. This one: started feeling very occasional flutters around 18 weeks. Now nearly 21 weeks: I'd say I feel something daily, but really not much. I can feel where my placenta ends, as I can feel little taps and kicks below it. It's very strange, as I felt things much earlier before.
