Anyone here with their rainbow baby?

Me and terrified of losing again. I’ve only had one and have had no luck with the progesterone but friends have after 2 so don’t take no for an answer! Even if there’s on 5% chance it helps it’s a chance I would love to take. Have you booked in for a scan with the EGU at 6 weeks? I have, they told me to after the last one xx

@Madeleine sorry for your loss. No, but I'm gonna ask my doctor today to refer me for one. I really hope if she gives me progesterone then they have to anyway. Midwives have given the go ahead for the prescription so just gotta hope she agrees. Are you doing anything different this time round? X

I had a MMC in December so extremely stressed about this pregnancy. But I’ve booked an early scan for 8 weeks and just trying to stay positive 🥹 just remember it’s completely out of your control and there’s way better odds that everything will work out 🤞💗🌈

@Teneal praying we both get our rainbows. X

@Jessica I didn’t even bother with GP for the scan booking I just called the EGU direct! I don’t really know what else I can do 😭 Are you? xx

@Madeleine had my GP app this morning and she said there was no messages from midwives regarding progesterone! But has requested a scan for 2 weeks when I'm around 6+4 so hopefully yhey may offer it then. I have a feeling they're not gonna wanna scan me tho so we will go private otherwise. Just trying to eat better, drinking a lot more water and taking omega 3 which I didn't take last time x

@Jessica I might do the omega 3 too. I’m worried I’m not feeling nauseous yet 😞 4 weeks 4 days today

@Madeleine did you by this point last time? I just hate sitting around not doing anything. I've got a week off work so having to find things to keep my mind busy!

@Jessica First pregnancy (successful) it was today, last pregnancy (miscarried week 9) it never kicked in. I know it might not come as pregnancies can be different but it’s such an anxiety trigger

Yes, me! Two missed miscarriages, June and October 2023, praying this is my 🌈 praying I get through these next few weeks. Wishing you all the best xx

@Natasha sorry for your losses. We will get through this together! X

Yesss, I had a chemical last month and I’m currently 4 + 2 and trying to not get my hopes up, but also so anxious and also so in love with it

I had a mmc in April at 10w which was emotionally the worst thing I ever had to go through. Decided to have a d&c, my period came back after 6 weeks and we started trying right after it. Tested tonight and it’s positive 😭 I am not sure how to feel, a mix of shock, happiness and sheer terror it may happen again 🥲

Yes…had IVF in 21 and then fell preg naturally last June, ended at 5w - taken a year but got another posi last week 🤞🏼 started progesterone straight away so hoping it works for me this time. Anxiety is wretched 😫

I've found it so hard to get progesterone.. called the midwives- they tried to contact GP on my behalf. Saw my GP, they had no message or notice on my file to say midwives have given the go ahead for it to be prescribed. So much going back and forth. Now waiting to see if they will give me a scan at 6 weeks (5 weeks today) if not we will pay for a private one. Just think it should be easier for us women to access these things really. Hoping tomorrow I will have an answer as to whether or not I can ve prescribed progesterone

@Jessica Have you tried calling the EGU direct for a scan? They told me to book in with them next time after MMC in March. Progesterone was impossible and ridiculously gatekept for me too…It’s madness and so cruel 😞 It’s even in the NICE guidelines to suggest it after only 1 miscarriage and early pregnancy bleeding! I’d take it if there was even a 0.1% chance it would make a difference

@Madeleine I haven't no but if I haven't heard anything by tomorrow evening I will call them on Tuesday! X

I tried my GP who said to call EPAU, they said they’d only prescribe after seeing pregnancy on a scan at 6w, so tried our private health insurance who said only a gynae can prescribe but health ins don’t cover pregnancy, so private gynae wanted £250 to ‘consider’ request 🙈🫠 You’d think we were after m0rphine or something! Shouldn’t be so hard!

Is anybody else absolutely freaking out with a gut feeling it’s going to go the same way or is it just me? I’m petrified that the feeling is real, that we’re going to lose again and I can’t get over it 😭

@Madeleine ahh lovely just take deep breaths and take it one day at a time…today you are pregnant. There’s nothing you can do, it’s not within your control which I know feels awful. I think most people feel like this the whole way through and it’s not nice at all so you’re not alone 😘

@Emma That’s such good advice thank you. We’re not telling anyone this time because so many people knew last time we lost but it’s so lonely and thoughts just run around my head with nowhere to go. I must sound incredibly needy and self centred I’m sorry. Will keep with the mantra ‘today I am pregnant’ x

@Madeleine you really don’t. We’re not telling anyone for the same reason. It’s terribly lonely to be stuck with all the anxiety sometimes but places like this are the best so you know it’s not just you 🥰

@Emma ♥️♥️♥️

I feel the same but taking it day by day as that's all we can do atm. Only told my parents as they always work it out anyway and would want them to know incase something happened again. I'm hoping I hear from the GP/hospital this week and I HOPE they give me a scan at 6 weeks

@Jessica my EPU have said I can come in any time for a reassurance scan given my history so I’m going to go in next week when I hit the six week mark. Hopefully if you ask, you can have the same. Feeling very anxious x

@Natasha that's good. I've been referred as 'urgent' to the EPU now so hoping I can get a scan next week too. Hopefully we can also talk about progesterone too. Me too. I'm dreading it x

Yesss I’ve had 2 miscarriages in the last year, currently pregnant again and currently 4 weeks.. I’m anxious and so worried but taking each day as it comes. X
