Lost our baby

Had two private scans one on the 29th of Jan and another on the 3rd of Feb. I should’ve been 7+2 on the 29th but the scan measured me at 6+4 with an explanation to say I must’ve ovulated late, sonographer said baby had a strong heartbeat so I wasn’t concerned. Scan on 3rd of Feb where I should’ve measured 8 weeks but sonographer measured me at 6+1 with an intermittent heartbeat and asked for a further scan the following week. I went to GP on Friday with intense cramps and mild bleeding on Thursday evening only to be able to get to the EPU today where they confirmed that there was a fetal pole, no heartbeat and measuring at 4mm. Have to come in the following week for another scan as it’s their protocol where they will talk me through the options.

No clue what this post was for however I had a gut feeling from the beginning about this pregnancy as I had no symptoms and people were trying to convince me every pregnancy is different. Don’t let anyone try and tell you different about what you feel.

Although my second pregnancy it’s my first miscarriage and I feel so numb and let down by my body 🥺💔

Good luck to all you mamas to be 🤍

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my second baby in November at 8 weeks and I’ll carry that loss with me for the rest of my life. Sending love and healing and you’ll get your rainbow baby someday. 🌈 xx

I’m so sorry you’ve gone through this. I know it’s horrific. People will tell you every pregnant is different as unfortunately they are, they can be cruel. I was super sick when I had my MC. Take time to grieve if you can and accept support if it’s offered. Sending lots of love xx

So sorry for your loss after having my first miscarriage with my second pregnancy I know how it feels, it will get easier as time goes by but in the moment you think it never will. Keep positive and you will get your rainbow baby one day ❤️

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

Eid celebrations?

Is it normal to celebrate Eid by drinking alcohol and partying non stop … doesn’t that just go against the whole month of Ramadan im so confused

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Pregnancy nose 😭🤣

I thought it was a myth but when I look back at pictures of me pregnant with my first child, my nose literally swelled up so big it was ridiculous 🤣

Please tell me other people have had pregnancy nose or at least heard of it hahahah dreading it this time around
