Feeling down

So I had a missed miscarriage in May at 12 weeks with my first pregnancy, a chemical pregnancy in June and another miscarriage in August. So to say I've had a rough year would be an understatement! I'm currently waiting on test results to see if there's any reason why I'm having repeated losses.. I really want to try again but I'm terrified. Now that I'm getting closer to what would have been the due date of my first baby Leo, I'm finding it harder to cope. The grief is stronger because I think of where I would have been now if I hadn't lost him, how different things would be. I'm having a hard time thinking positively about the future right now, I guess I just want to let it out and share with others who get it. Sending love to others going through this rough stuff x

Unwell after sweep

I’ve had a sweep earlier today, lost the mucus plug about a couple hours later. Got period type cramping immediately, I hadn’t even left the midwife appointment yet. I have contractions and permanent back cramping, alongside waves of nausea - which is a combination I’m struggling with as I feel quite unwell. Nowhere near labour, as I’ve had 6 contractions in the span of 3 hours or so. A midwife told me sweeps cause really bad cramping, so I assumed it was normal. But just want to check if there’s anybody out there in a similar boat? Should I be calling the hospital to check if it’s all normal?

Has your life become a living nightmare since becoming a mom?

Sometimes I become conscious of the fact that I just have to wake up tomorrow morning and do this all over again. Every day. And then I wanna bash my head into a brick wall

39 Week Induction Being Pushed On

Went to my 36 week appointment today and my OB was pushing for a 39 week induction.

I want a natural spontaneous labor but my OB kept pushing for the induction even if I’m low risk and healthy. Is anyone else experiencing this?

6 weeks pp no cervical check?

Hey yall! I had an emergency C-Section 6 weeks ago after my bp was sky high with baby boy at 39 week appt. Went for my 6 week pp appt today and all she did was look at my incision sight and said I was good to go. Is this normal?? Is it actually ok to use tampons/menstrual cups now??
