Pregnancy after loss

[ChasingRainbow5]

Hi, I'm 4+4 after a loss at 6+5 in April. I don't want to join the 'due in January' thread yet as I joined the December one then had to bow out, but thought it might be nice to have a thread where anyone in a similar position could chat/vent? I can't see any recent similar threads, apols if I have missed.

I'm feeling a lot more nauseous than last time which I have read can be a positive sign, but obviously doesn't guarantee anything. Just trying to cling to any hope I can!

I hope it goes well. Let us know how you get on. X

Good luck with your scans today @ThatMintMember& @Swissmeringue

I hope you were able to get some support from your EPU @feelingalittlehorsethinking of you

Good luck xx

And good luck @ThatMintMember too xx

Thanks @LPR16 . Managed to get hold of them yesterday so I’m going in today. It’s actually a year ago to the day I found out I was pregnant with my last pregnancy which ended in an ectopic, and I was supposed to be having my midwife’s appointment today so I’m just feeling very very upset. Not really coping very well tbh. Do appreciate everyone here’s support xxx

I'm so sorry, sending you lots of love. X

I feel awful posting this after others have had bad news but scan this morning went well. There's a baby in there! Measuring 8 weeks so only a few days behind. Not out of the woods yet but I feel like I can at least make a booking in appointment now.

Lovely news @Swissmeringue I'm so so happy for you! Never feel awful for posting your good news. Personally I love hearing success stories- gives me hope that it’ll hopefully be me one day ☺️ x

What cruel timing with the date of this happening again. Hope it goes as well as it can do at the EPU. Take care @feelingalittlehorsex

Sending you so much love @feelingalittlehorse it’s just awful isn’t it. I hope your appointment at EPAU goes as well as it possibly can given the circumstances and they’re supportive. I’m struggling more as time goes on- today has been horrific so far @ThatMintMember had warned me about the 6 day hormone crash so I was somewhat prepared but it just absolutely sucks. Sending you a huge hug xx

I'm so relieved for you @Swissmeringuewonderful news! We’re all here if you need someone to chat any worries with over the next few weeks x

Hi all, I hope you don’t mind me joining. I had a miscarriage in Jan of this year, should have been 9 weeks but baby had stopped growing at 6+2. I’d had a scan at 6+1 which showed a heartbeat so that sucked. This was my second miscarriage, the first was a long time ago.
I am pregnant again and am now 12+1. Had a scan at 7+4 after some spotting which confirmed a heartbeat and was put on progesterone. Also have a subchorionic haematoma which is worrying. Don’t have my dating scan until next Wednesday and I am so stressed about it. My partner can’t come due to childcare issues and I am just convinced that it’ll be another mmc which I haven’t passed due to the progesterone stopping it. Sorry for the rant, just needed to get this out somewhere.

Welcome @Namechangedforthis60! congratulations on your pregnancy! Will keep everything crossed for you for your next scan. Rant away, that’s what we’re here for- scan anxiety is truly awful and it’s amplified so much after loss.

My first loss was very similar to yours- scan at 6w1d showed everything fine and a heartbeat then miscarried at 6w2d. I just couldn’t get my head around it and I really struggled emotionally at how quick everything could change x

Thank you for the lovely message. I've been there, keep the faith I'm sure it'll be you soon and I promise it's so worth it in the end!

Just had to call my husband (he's abroad at a meeting) and be like, yeah, so we're gonna need a bigger house. 😂

That's wonderful news, so pleased to hear it 💕

Sounds so stressful, I really hope the dating scan goes well. I had to go for a scan alone this morning and I thought I'd be fine but I started crying at the sonogropher before I even sat down. Hopefully you'll have some peace of mind after your dating scan.

Welcome, sorry you are in this club too but congratulations on your current pregnancy. I totally empathise, I had a scan at 7 weeks, saw the heartbeat and was put on progesterone and now I'm just terrified the progesterone will mask something going wrong. I'm not back in for another two weeks, when I'd be 10 weeks. The waiting is horrible x

Oh and don't apologise for ranting @Namechangedforthis60 , everyone here understands and it's becoming a little safe space which is really nice to have.

Congratulations @Namechangedforthis60you’re in good supportive company here.

I was on progesterone too, and had exactly the same worries about it masking a miscarriage. I had to keep telling myself the risk was worth if it was helping the baby.

Sorry you're having to face the scan on your own. I've found when I've explained what I've been through they've been really good at letting me know as soon as they can that they've found a heartbeat x

Congratulations @Swissmeringue, glad the scan was good news!

Just got back from my scan and all was well 😊 she did a mini anatomy scan so baby got a thorough check which was reassuring!

Welcome @Namechangedforthis60 ! Congratulations on your pregnancy, the wait for scans is so difficult isn't it? Will you have anyone with you for it?

I'm really sorry you're having a difficult time @sapphirerubydiamond and @feelingalittlehorse. We're all here for you and understand more than most how it feels x

Great news @ThatMintMember 😊

So glad your scan went well @ThatMintMember ☺️ x

Glad your scan went ok! @ThatMintMember

unfortunately I have to go to the scan by myself, this one will be at the maternity unit instead of epu so I’m just stressing that it won’t be good news and I’ll have to go and wait in the waiting room with all the pregnant ladies to see what next steps would be. At least at the epu there’s a special bad news room to sit in. I am 100% overthinking but it’s so hard not to!

Good luck Op. My daughter lost twins at 9 weeks and I'm pretty devastated. She told me she was pregnant at 4 weeks so we had 9 weeks excitement then devastation. I don't think she'll tell me so early next time. It's hard. Hope all goes well. I'm really struggling thinking I won't have two grandchildren in October

Ah that's tough @Namechangedforthis60 , I'm sure if it was bad news they wouldn't send you back out to wait? I'd really hope so anyway!

@Musicaltheatremum I'm really sorry, that must have been devastating for you all. I hope your daughter will have more good news to share soon x
