Is anyone else finding that they're just falling asleep by 7pm every night? It's a real fight for me to stay awake past this time, and 8-9pm is about the only time I get to do anything I actually want to do because my son's finally in bed and the house is tidy again (ish) 🤦‍♀️ I'm very creative and have loads of hobbies but I can't even manage to sit through a TV programme at the moment, it's so frustrating! I think I'm about 9 weeks.

@LMM91x so sorry to hear this news. I’ve also had a MMC previously which was identified at a scan. Look after yourself. Thinking of you xx 💙

AnnieApple123 · 12/01/2023 18:57

@Createcomet yes. I’ve sometimes often not even managed to do a basic clear-up at the end of the day which I really hate. It’s never a good start in the morning to come down to toy chaos. I’m nearly at that 12 week mark now so hoping this improves soon.

Yup...we were just watching something on tv and my eyes were going. I normally end up falling asleep around 8pm most nights...feel like all I'm doing is working, eating or napping lol

It's horrible isn't it? I'm usually so driven and motivated and productive....At the moment I feel like a slug. Actually got tired walking round the block with my toddler today, I was running 15k a week 6 weeks ago 🤦‍♀️😭

sprollie11 · 12/01/2023 19:30

Yep same, usually super productive and do loads in the evenings, it's taken me a few weeks to adapt to it and not feel so lazy. Definitely embracing it now and realising I can't do as much as before. Hoping the energy does come back a little tho!

Buttons86 · 12/01/2023 19:34

@LMM91x really sorry on your news.

I am in the same position, first pregnancy and was expecting twins. I had MMC confirmed today at private scan at 9+5. The clinic referred me to EPU and said they would contact me but haven’t heard anything yet so debating whether to walk in tomorrow as have no idea what to do/expect.

LS888 · 12/01/2023 19:37

@Buttons86 so sorry to hear about your MMC too. Thinking of you. xx

ChloeN · 12/01/2023 19:48

@Buttons86 if you can find a number try calling yourself, with my first pregancy that was mmc they never referred me so I had to self refer really xx

celandineyellow · 12/01/2023 19:52

@ChloeN my scan will be Tuesday 24th Jan! I'm so nervous for it but also excited.
@AnnieApple123 thanks for the welcome 😊

Thanks everyone, really appreciate it.

@LMM91x thanks for your advice, the clinic emailed me the report this evening so I will do that. Look after yourself over the weekend. We will be ok and there will be happier days ahead. Thinking of you.

LMM91x · 12/01/2023 20:23

@Buttons86 oh right back at you - here if you want to chat xxxxxxx. Some serious self care and relaxation this weekend, happier times ahead ❤️

Oh gosh what a sad day on here 😔 So sorry @Buttons86, I can’t even imagine. Hope you both get really good care. Good luck on Monday @LMM91x hope it all goes as straightforward as possible for you ❤️ Thinking of you both

BusyBushBaby · 13/01/2023 07:08

So sorry @Buttons86 . Horrible news.

I was in a similar position my last pregnancy and epau refused to see me but I've since moved and epau in my new area lets you call and refer yourself.

BoodifulGoose · 13/01/2023 07:47

@LMM91x I am so so sorry to hear this. 😭 Please look after yourself with all the love and compassion. 💙

BoodifulGoose · 13/01/2023 07:50
