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.

@suz2285 I never usually get travel sickness and now all of a sudden I get it really bad 😂😫😫I'm so tired the last couple of days too! I even had a lie in today and I'm still feeling tired and drowsy!
Feeling a lot more movements now too!

Hey all, I just thought would update again - just had my second can this morning (am 9w4d), my anxiety has been through the roof these past couple of weeks thinking something was going to go wrong, I just couldn't calm down.

Well it was all fine! 😭🥺 baby has got loads bigger, little heartbeat, arms and legs forming & it was moving around. I can't believe it.

Today is a good day. Hopefully today gets me through the next 3 weeks till the 12 week scan!

@Brokenpancreas94 I'm tired too! Even more so with those vaccines! But I'm not experiencing a massive boost of energy that's for sure!

@sweetpotato29 such good news! That's exactly what I was like! I had a scan at 6.5 then 9 and a bit then 12 weeks and all is good 🤞👌 it's so exciting to see them grown!

@suz2285 the annoying thing is when I go to have a nap I'm just tossing and turning but still feeling exhausted!

Awww so glad @sweetpotato29 ❤️❤️

@ssweetpotato29 that's wonderful 🥰 I'm glad it's all looking good.

I am also going to book a scan for about 9 and a half weeks (nearly 8 now). Just because I had my 40th this year and my husband has spent a fortune on a show and a night in central London start of October. I'm really paranoid that something will go wrong and ruin the weekend, so I'll book a scan for the week before and hope that everything is ok.

Sucks when you're thinking ahead about when you can schedule in the medical management in case you have another missed miscarriage 😢

Boobs are still sore though and appetite keeps plummeting which is what I had with my son so I'm crossing my fingers that we're ok 🤞

@Brokenpancreas94 argh I remember that well, not being able to get comfy but being sooooo tired. The travel sickness thing is a total bummer too! Have you tried those travel bands? Someone also told me about ginger tablets from Holland and Barrett for nausea.

Great news @sweetpotato29 hope you are feeling a bit better @Brokenpancreas94 and @suz2285 I'm always tossing and turning when sleeping hard to get that comfy and bump still has much more growing to do 😱

@tulipsunday I know! I feel huge and then my apps are telling me I've got so much growing still to do 😂😂😂

@tulipsunday @suz2285 I don't feel too bad now, although I've had a flare of hives today not sure why as I'm still taking the one medication that stopped them 😫🙈
Yep I'm struggling to get comfy at night too! I want to lay on my back at times too but know that we can't 😫

@SparkleFly well I was hoping to get some in boots yesterday but I asked at the counter if there's anything I could take for travel sickness whilst pregnant and she said "No nothing" 🙄

@Brokenpancreas94 hmm maybe a ginger supplement would be ok though? Or just eat loads of ginger nuts!

I've had a bit of nausea the last few evenings which is a new thing. Thought I'd just eaten too much but it's 3rd night in a row now. Never had any nausea at all with my son.

@SparkleFly I might give it a try! Thank you! Tbh I think it was the heat too, as it was so stuffy on the bus!

I never had nausea with my daughter either!

Thank you all! We are so pleased and just hoping that this happy bubble stays.

@SparkleFly I know, it's so sad that we have to think and plan like that but unfortunately it seems like that can just be what it's like after a loss. Just do whatever you need to do to make this period easier on yourself and your mental health.

I've had truly awful morning sickness pretty much every day since I took the first pregnancy test. Didn't have that with my first pregnancy so also have been taking it as a sign!

Hope all those with morning/evening sickness are doing ok. First trimester is the worst. Feeling heavy but otherwise not too bad. Gearing myself up for another night of weird dreams - thank you pregnancy 😂

@tulipsunday pregnancy dreams are so bizarre aren't they!
I've got to go on antibiotics for the 4th time for UTI!
Was talking about feeling heavy/achy when walking earlier with @suz2285, my belly felt like it was going to burst 😅

@Brokenpancreas94 my pregnancy support belt arrived so I'll try that next walk!

Resting tomorrow I think though, my back is achy from work today!

Noticed a bit of brown blood when I wiped earlier when then went to pink 🫤 Not sure what to make of it but have managed to speak to EPAU and am going in tomorrow evening for a check.

Am hoping it's not the end of the road already for me 🙁

@suz2285 ohh let me know if it helps! Xx

@SparkleFly hopefully it's nothing and everything is okay for you! Everything crossed ❤️

@SparkleFly I have everything crossed for you for tomorrow.

Thanks girls, will let you know how it goes. They told me to go at 6 but it's an up to 4 hour wait as it's classed as emergency department. And it's next to the labour ward which is always nice. Not.

Good luck @SparkleFly hope all ok with you!

Sorry for TMI, but have awful constipation the past few days, nothing I do seems to be helping! Has anyone else had this? I am 10 weeks today - feels like I'm getting all the most attractive symptoms!

@sweetpotato29 I'm sure constipation is a first trimester symptom, well can be! I never had it this time around but I think I did in my first pregnancy xx

@SparkleFly hope all goes ok tomorrow will keep everything crossed for you.

@sweetpotato29 I did for my entire pregnancy and it never went away! I tried lactulose but im not sure if it really helped

@Brokenpancreas94 poor you with the UTI😭😭 are you in pain??

@ChloeN apart from the rock hard belly and stitch like pain, nope no UTI symptoms which I think is weird as I've had the UTI over two months now so surely I should have some symptoms 🤷‍♀️xx
