Feeling so isolated

Hi Ladies,

Does anyone else feel lonely and isolated?

It doesn't help that this is hopefully our rainbow baby after losing our son at 20 weeks gestation last year and also now waiting for a re-scan as measured around 5.5 weeks with yolk sac but no heartbeat when I was expecting to be around 7 weeks.

I work from home in a job I've been in for under a year and it's a very stressful, chaotic small company. No close colleagues etc.

I've not been seeing many people, and have backed out of a few meals/receptions, drinks etc so I don't have the interrogation of why I'm not drinking (I'm usually the wino of the groups 🤣)

I've had a few friends message me lovely quotes and poems etc, as it's a year since we lost the baby and I'm struggling with replies as I just want to talk to people about what's happening, but can't bear to tell anybody be yet. Only my partner knows.

It's so lonely and nerve wracking. My anxiety is so high.

Anyway. Enough whining from me!! 🤣💗

Aw hope you start to feel better soon, stay positive 🤍🤞🏼

This is why we made the decision to open up and tell some of our immediate family and close friends. Because whatever may or may not happen, they’d be the people I want support from regardless 🙏🏼 xx

It’s difficult especially when you work from home. I gave up work to support my son because of his needs and I since being pregnant and feeling awfully sick everyday I’m feeling isolated as well but hopefully this app will help you build friendships xxx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
