Navigating pregnancy after loss thread 4!

[arianasky]

Hello ladies though I'd start a new thread, I'll tag who I am remember I'm sorry if I've forgot anyone...

@Skl2021 @Cruz86 @flowergarden16 @aesgriff @Sassy144 @Arwen7 @Bridgey8

Sorry that should read 24 weeks

Glad to hear your friend is ok @speake1 x

Gosh that sounds worrying too @flowergarden16 hope you’re ok xx

@flowergarden16 im only just seeing your message now, what a worry for you too! Keeping my fingers crossed for you that things don’t worsen with your placenta & baby hangs on in there for a good amount of more weeks 🙏🏼🤞🏼

@speake1 thanks 💙hope your doing ok x

Thanks @speake1 me too! Doctors seem fairly relaxed atm, so just hoping I can get to at least 30 weeks with no bleeding then it doesn't seem quite as bleak. We'll see. Sending lots of strength and hope to everyone x

@flowergarden16 they will check my placenta again at 36 weeks but they were hoping it would move a bit more. Sorry you're going through this - fingers crossed for no bleeding xxxx

That's good @Bridgey8 apparently 9/10 do if you've not had a c section x

I had my 28 week midwife appt today & bump doesn’t seem to have grown since my last appt at 24 weeks where I also measured small / had to have a growth scan. Obviously with there being no change to the measurement at 28w 3d I’m now even further off the percentile line & the concern is that if there’s no bump growth there’s no baby growth. In for a scan on Friday morning to check baby / make sure they’ve grown in the last few weeks since the last scan. Has anyone else experienced this no growth since last appt? I had growth scans for being small all the way through my daughters pregnancy but never no growth between appts 🤦🏻‍♀️ xxx

@speake1 so sorry this is happening to you too. Don't have alot of advise but Try not to worry I have seen times where the bump hasn't grown but the scans have been ok or the midwife measured wrong. My growth stopped at 36 weeks last pregnancy but obviously didn't get picked up. Hoping your scan goes ok on Friday ♥️ how far are you on the percentile line now? X

When did you ladies start to have your bump measured? The first time they check in my trust is at 28 weeks?

Try not to worry @speake1 I’m sure all will be well at your scan on Friday xx

@Skl2021 thank you, fingers crossed it’s just my bump hiding & baby is still cooking away on Friday! 🤞🏼 I was just off the bottom of the 3rd centile at 24 weeks & now I’m way below it so not near any line 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hope you’re doing ok xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 my first measurement was at 24 weeks xx

@speake1 yes I think alot of bump measurements are wrong definitely wait and see how the scan goes hopefully all will be ok 🤞🙌 I'm doing ok take it a day at a time I'm on edge with every pain or niggle or scared my waters will go 🤦🙈 x

@Skl2021 I’d be feeling very scared too so don’t feel bad about feeling that way. Thinking of you and pleased they’ll be keeping a close eye on you ❤️ Xx

@speake1 sounds like a really worrying time 😔 let us know how your scan goes on Friday. Fingers crossed the measurements are wrong by the midwife xx

@Skl2021 I'm sorry this is happening to you, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and hoping the baby stays put! 🤞
@speake1 I hope your scan goes well on Friday and baby is just hiding from you!

@sunnyd67 @aesgriff thank you ladies, hope you’re both keeping well xxx

@aesgriff @sunnyd67 thankyou ♥️ hopefully he behaves 🤞🙌🙊 I'm not ready for this yet! X

Hi guys - my friend is currently trying to have a baby on her own via IUI and had a miscarriage last cycle. She's trying again now but is wondering about progesterone as she has a short luteal phase - did anyone else have this/use progesterone to lengthen? Xx

@Skl2021 I'm sorry you're going through all of this worry and anxiety 😞 he's been absolute trouble from the start hasn't he! I'm glad it's been picked up but hope he carries on cooking for a bit longer. You might need to buy your pushchair now?! If you still haven't already 😂 I know easier said than done, but try to keep stress levels to a minimum ❤️ xx

@speake1 I hope your scan goes well, another worry in the group 😩 I have heard that fundal height measurements are notoriously inaccurate so fingers crossed baby is doing just fine in there 🥰 xx

And @flowergarden16 how are you doing? I can't imagine the worry you're feeling too 😞 xx

Good days and bad days @Cruz86 - the outcomes for previa can be absolutely no problem at all or result in early delivery and hemorrhages so it's just trying to stay balanced.

Hope everyone is ok.

Agree with everyone else that baby measurements are usually so wrong and as long as your being monitored that's the main thing x

Sorry to put a downer on the thread but just popping back to update you all. I went for my 12 week scan this morning and baby was measuring 10 weeks with no heartbeat 😭 I really can’t believe this it feels like a bad dream, this will be third time in a row so I will be entitled to help next time however I just don’t think I can do this anymore. Ive opted for the natural route so now its just a waiting game. We are absolutely heartbroken and devastated life is so cruel it makes no sense. Wishing you all the luck and positivity for your pregnancies and rainbow babies ❤️

So sorry to hear that @Cindy974

I had the same experience in December.

Sending you lots of love c

So sorry for your loss @Cindy974 💕💕💕 sending love xx

@Cindy974 i am so sorry, sending love to you & your partner 💔 xxx

@Bridgey8 i have a short luteal phase & started taking progesterone at positive ovulation test. The first cycle I did this is this one where we fell pregnant so it has definitely been successful in that regard but I couldn’t say for sure if it lengthened the luteal phase as I don’t know when my period would’ve started if that makes sense xx
