Rough patch (vanished twin at 8w)

So I know this happens, and while I’m sad to have lost one, I am incredibly grateful to still be pregnant with the other one, and so happy my baby has a heartbeat!
I’m just going through a lot of anxiety right now, worrying if this baby will make it, and I feel lonely and down today. 😢

Keep your chin up mama 😘 pray and leave it in God's hands I know its easier said than done . Its hard when you loose a baby weather it was an embryo or a child we still mourn their loss. I've lost 3 and this is our miracle baby im 25 weeks and just so thankful we've gotten this far . Just take it 1 day at a time we are human and only 1 person its ok to cry . Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers .

Don’t worry about it it’s hard but just try to remain positive as stress isn’t helpful

So sorry to hear this. This happened to me too at around the same time. It is really sad & everyone says “at least the other is ok” which is true but doesn’t take the sadness away. After we lost the twin the pregnancy was fine with no problems & my little boy is now 1. I hope you’re doing ok 😘 xx

Sex life (or not)

When did people start having sex again after their c section? This is my second c section and I just feel very weird lol

Should I talk to someone about this?

Yesterday the nurse came to remove my staples and look at baby. She said she has blood under her scalp on one side. Likely from the use of a vacuum. The hospital NEVER told me and I was awake during the c section. I called the nursing line and they confirmed that a vacuum was used.

My mom also said she overheard them say they had to repair something from my last c section but the nursing line says they have no notes.

I'm really upset. They talked about informed consent but they never told me about the vacuum or what to expect after.

The nurse who came to my house told me should could become jaundice as the blood under her scalp absorbs and I will need to wake her for feeds.

Losing mucas plug after sweep

To anyone who's previously been pregnant, I'm after some insight please.

I'm 39+1 today and I had a sweep on Friday and I've been losing my mucas plug all day today each time I go to the toilet. I know that losing the plug doesn't necessarily mean labour is going to be soon but I wondered if that 'rule' changed at all after a sweep or can it still be days/weeks away.

Thank you 😊

Americans, how soon can you get a doctors appointment?

You wake up, something’s off with you or the baby or whatever, you call up your normal GP - not including A&E or walk-ins etc - how soon can you get an appointment?

I feel like a lot of people from the US don’t understand how shit the NHS actually is here, but at the same time is it just as bad over there?

Section pain

I had a section Thursday and so far it’s been a good recovery, but today I feel more pain in the left side of the wound and a slight ache in my stomach. My husband has looked and says it looks fine. Anyone else experience this and can give any tips that might help?

Implantation bleeding?

Can someone please advise. I’ve had a faint positive pregnancy test yesterday and today. I had some small brown spotting yesterday and then earlier today me and my partner had sex which followed with some bleeding.. is this implantation bleeding? The bleeding has now stopped.
I’m 10dpo.
