Can't believe I'm writing this..

Needed to share my experience. I started bleeding heavily on Friday morning, rang my GP as I haven't been assigned a midwife yet...spoke to my GP on the phone who then referred me to EPU and said I'd get a call from them. The whole day went past and nothing.

Woke up Saturday morning, still bleeding quite heavily. So, I decided to go A&E. Waited for nearly 5 hours to be scanned. They said they couldn't find anything and that I had a few small blood clots and a cyst on my right ovary.

Left A&E utterly heartbroken. Over the course of the last few days, the bleeding started to slow down, but I noticed I still had all my symptoms, so I decided to do a pregnancy test and got such a strong positive. I had a GP appointment still booked in for tuesday(yesterday) this was supposed to be my referral appointment but explained how I was feeling and doctor said I needed to go back to EPU for bloods and scan.

So this morning myself and my partner prepared ourselves for the worst news again. HCG levels were abnormally high for someone who has supposedly had a miscarriage so they asked if they could scan me. Not only did they find a bleed outside the pregnancy, a cyst on my right ovary but A HEARTBEAT! I honestly thought I was dreaming, but It was there on the screen flickering away.

Soo I have rejoined this group and hopefully will continue my pregnancy journey!

Had anyone else had a similar experience? I'm just in a state of shock. The past 2 weeks have been an emotional roller coaster, to say the least! X

So so pleased for you! As someone that's previously had a miscarriage, I know exactly the emotions you and your partner will have been feeling, it's horrific. To get the best possible news when you thought it was all over is amazing. Just keep on taking care of yourself, and fingers crossed the rest of your pregnancy is drama free! Xx

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?
