Pregnant after miscarriage - support thread NEW

[tulipsunday]

Welcome to all those who are pregnant following a miscarriage/s. A space where we can share our anxieties and our joys.

@Brokenpancreas94 headaches for me too!

I'm still massively struggling with rhinitis, I wake up to pee then sneeze/snuffle so much that I can't get back to sleep, was awake for about 4 hours in the middle of the night last night 😩

@tulipsunday my back has been achy too, and I'm crampy today - usually get that on days baby seems to be growing 😂

I think I've been feeling little movements since yesterday! It feels like a little flipping movement to me just now, just waiting to see if it gets stronger or more frequent!

@WhiteHorse92 aww congratulations 💖 lovely news!

@suz2285 aww yay movements! That's what it felt like for me in my first pregnancy!

I can't wait to start feeling movements I'm a paranoid mess atm constantly thinking something is wrong 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Brokenpancreas94 yeah I know what you mean! It's too long to wait between scans! And without movement... I'm hoping to feel more today, you shouldn't have long to wait now to feel something 🤞

@suz2285 I am coldy sneezy and snuffly too don't know if pregnancy related or hay fever. Exciting about first movements!

I've been having those 'bubble pop' feelings since 15 weeks but kept convincing myself I was imagining it but yesterday at 16+1 since I had the scan I felt definite proper movement like little flips quite a few times especially in the evening, the scan must have disturbed the baby 😅

Also sneezy snotty and full of cold here 😭

@tulipsunday I've been having this for months I'm sure it's pregnancy rhinitis, if I wake up during the night I sneeze and snuffle for hours, like awake for 3-4 hours, it's miserable! If it's really bad I've been taking an antihistamine but trying not to take too many! I mean I used to take 2 antihistamines a day due to allergies but I've never ever been sneezy, my allergies are more itchy eyes and I've hardly had any of that so least I know I maybe don't need so many now 😂 but the sneezing and snuffling all night is miserable!

@WhiteHorse92 I always feel like I'm getting a cold! But I haven't yet.. 😂 but constantly thinking my throat feels weird

Headaches too in the 2nd tri! That's 3 days in a row now with a headache really bad I've had to take paracetamol!

Pregnancy rhinitis eh? This is a new one to me, but I have been wondering why I've been sneezing a lot recently but without feeling at all like I have a summer cold. When I lie down to sleep I tend to feel a bit snuffly too, but it's definitely not a cold and doesn't feel like my usual hayfever symptoms. Thanks ladies, always a font of knowledge!

I'm currently experiencing a second trimester reprise of first trimester insomnia. 😴

Also get very snuffly in bed at night and my nose feels blocked, I keep a tub of vicks beside the bed and rub a little under my nose every night before sleeping, I find it really helps x

I haven't really been sneezing as much now since I knocked my nose piercing out and it's now closed up sigh 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

My bowels still aren't great though! Lovely hormones 😂😬

This baby does not like me getting hot and sweaty or being in the sun...first sunnyish day in a while and I'm all out in hives again!

Needing a bit of a handhold today. Although I know of course no one can change the outcome but any positive stories would be helpful at this point.

Pregnancy number three (no living children), I’m 8+2 and on progesterone. Yesterday I had some brown discharge mixed in with the pessary discharge, already had a scan at 6+1 with heartbeat. Back in next Monday when I’ll be 9+1. I did speak to EPU yesterday and they said keep taking progesterone and monitor.

This is how my last MMC started. I had brown discharge scanned and all was ok, but then a week later heartbeat had stopped.

it’s so hard not to spiral when all I know is brown discharge = mc. But I just really can’t believe this might be happening a third time and it’s so long to wait until Monday!

@J2023xx handhold 😘Its so tough. I have heard of people on progesterone having brown discharge more though so it might not 100% be something bad. But like you say there's nothing you can do or say. It's so tough and absolutely a horrible time. So sorry you are having to wait as well. Everything crossed for you

@suz2285 thank you for responding 🩷 it has reduced a bit today but I’ll just wait and see and go into the scan next Monday with a realistic head on (but still slightly hopeful) x

@J2023xx ive also heard the same, doesn’t it make your cervix a lot more sensitive? X

@ChloeN I think so yes, which does make sense. Keeping my fingers crossed, it seems to have settled down 🤞🤞

Hi everyone, can I join please! I've had 12 miscarriages and recently found out I'm pregnant again, doctors given progesterone tablets but this morning I had a tint bit of brown discharge when I wiped! Thankfully it's stopped but I can not stop panicking at all! Stupid me did a pregnancy test today but it was very faint, so now I'm thinking it's going to end in another mc, I've been booked in for an early scan on the 31st but I'm too scared to have a internal scan as I've had 4 previous loses after having internal scans even when a heart beat was found! I know everyone will say try and stay calm and what will be will be but I can't.
I dread going to the loo!

Hope everyone's OK xx

@J2023xx hopefully it’s disappears for you and is nothing to worry about🤞🏻

@nomysundaybest sorry to hear of your losses, can’t imagine how scary it is to see brown when you wipe 😓 hope your scan goes okay when it comes round xx

@J2023xx i'm sorry for all the stress and worry you are having with the discharge, I hope tonight it is a little better again and that Monday cones around fast... waiting is so tough isn't it. Sending a hug 💗 x

@nomysundaybest I'm really sorry about all of those losses, I can't even imagine how hard! There have been a few ladies I think on this thread, talking about brown discharge that it can be old blood. Hoping that's the case for you as well x

@nomysundaybest so sorry to hear of what you have been through.

@J2023xx how are things today?

Hi @tulipsunday it has seemed to settle down. Planning on having a relaxed as possible weekend and then the scan is first thing on Monday at 8:30am, so we will find out then xx

I'm so sorry about your losses x

Just wanted to say re pregnancy test I got a similar result and other worrying symptoms at 8 weeks and scan showed all was well - they said not only do hormones fluctuate some pregnancy tests are just dodgy! Hope things work out the same way for you.

Anyone else got the lovely hormonal spots, my chin is home to a load of massive spots 😫 never usually get spots well not this size haha 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

@Brokenpancreas94 Ive had them since the start 😅. Currently have a hard painful one in between my eyebrows that won't budge 🙄

@WhiteHorse92 I've got one coming up on my lip which is sore 😫😫😂x

I felt fabulous when pregnant with my son, no sickness, hair was lovely, I was absolutely glowing, this however is a very different experience 😐
