Stressed 😫

TW - miscarriage
I had a miscarriage in September, tried again and luckily got pregnant pretty much straight away. I’m now 11 weeks and everyday I’m having near panic attacks thinking it’s happening again. Wake up in the middle of the night having nightmares and thinking I’m bleeding when I’m not. And yesterday crying when I was out just because I thought it was happening. I’m scared maybe I should have waited a bit to properly get over it because I’m struggling to be positive about this pregnancy.

I’m also doing pregnancy tests every couple of days because I’m not feeling symptoms anymore but I think I’m just convincing myself to not get attached incase something happens again

Luckily my 12 week scan is in a week and hopefully everything is fine. But I feel like a week is so long to be this stressed 😭

I think it's completely understandable that you are panicking, so don't be hard on yourself. I hope your 12 week scan can bring you some peace.

yeah I hope so. Thank you 🙏🏻

Aw bless you. I know exactly how you are feeling. I was exactly the same! I was going to the toilet just to check and see if there was any blood.
It will get better and you will have your beautiful rainbow baby xx

sorry you went through this 🙏🏻 xx

I also had a miscarriage in September and now pregnant again and I have dreams that I start bleeding or that the baby’s heart isn’t beating anymore. It’s terrifying and I’m not sure what will help. I am going to try to book an appointment at a private ultrasound clinic just to check on baby.

if you think that would help you it’s a good idea! Sorry you’re feeling like this it’s horrible I know. Feel free to message me if you want to talk x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

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?
