Missed miscarriage

I found out today I lost my baby. I was suppose to be 11 weeks at my scan today. My dr couldn’t find a heartbeat and so he tried transvaginally to which he confirmed there was none. My baby was measuring only at 8 weeks.. a missed miscarriage.
I was put on progesterone pills the first trimester to help thicken my cervix as I have a history of preterm labor. So my dr thinks that is why I was still experiencing pregnancy symptoms and not miscarrying.

I’m so heartbroken . My husband and I are devastated. We cried all the way home. We’ve never experienced this before

I was given two options. To miscarrriage naturally and stop the progesterone pills immediately so my body can do what it’s suppose to do or d&c surgery. I just asked if could process the news and get back to them as I just want to go home.

All this was laid on me while trying to process on the office that I had just loss the baby.

Idk where to begin and what to do and just here for support and hear similar experiences rn so I don’t feel alone

I'm so sorry for your loss. There are miscarriage support groups on peanut that might help you relate to. Sending love xx

My first pregnancy was unfortunately a missed miscarriage. We went to our 12 week scan and baby was only measuring 9 weeks with no heartbeat. I was given three options; to wait and see if I passed the baby myself, to have medical management or the D&C surgery. I chose medical management which was more intense than I realised it would be. The hardest part was grieving for a baby that no one even knew about 👼. But five years later we are now very lucky to have both a daughter and son 💕. Sending you lots of love and thoughts 💗

My first pregnancy was missed miscarriage at 11 weeks and I let that pass naturally without any medicine or d&c. Be strong, you will pass and I have seen heard many cases where they get pregnancy again soon since the body is ready.. all positive vibes to you take care

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?
