TW: Pregnancy Loss. No heartbeat.

Is anyone else struggling with pregnancy loss?
I went to my dating scan at 8.5 weeks, and was completely blindsided when they said there was no heart beat. Because the fetal pole is more than 7mm (it’s 14mm), I’ve been told it’s definitely not viable. They said it’s 7.5 weeks.
Waiting for my local hospital’s maternity clinic to call me in for an assessment, and my hcg is still high at 25,000.
Feeling so disappointed and heartsick. For some reason I was so confident that things would be fine. Still hoping they might do another scan.

I’ve had 2 losses before having my baby, it’s gut wrenching and terrible, I’m really sorry:(

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️

So sorry mama I know what that feels like sending you a hug

I’m so sorry 😢 x

I’ve had a loss too. I’m so sorry…

Even though I now have a LO, I still struggle with the loss from a couple years ago. I’m sorry, I know what it is like to be blindsided, it’s like it doesn’t completely register. ❤️

I’m sorry for your loss. 😕 I know the exact feeling. I had one loss before having my rainbow 🌈 babies (twins) I too went in for the scan after I had bleeding. Only to find out I was no longer pregnant. I know it doesn’t seem like it right now but it’ll be okay. Keep trying hun. I’m here if you need to talk. 🙏🏽

I get how you feel I went the hospital at 8.5 weeks and they did a scan cause I had heavy bleeding they said I had miscarried cause they don’t see the baby anymore and so they double checked by doing my bloods and my hg was high so they brought me back in 48 hours later and my level had dropped but I did get pregnant with my miracle baby a few months later but still didn’t make my loss any easier

I had 3 losses before I had my rainbow baby. It sucks. Just remember that it’s not your fault. In fact most of the time it’s your own body protecting you from carrying a non-viable embryo any further. I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this.

It really sucks... i'm so sorry. It is a terrible feeling... I had 2 miscarriages before having my little baby.... when I think of it, it still makes me sad... just try not to feel guilty. And keep trying. 💕🫂

I had 2 losses before my little girl and at 1 I found out too at as scan. Think missed miscarriages are even crueler as you’ve usually no idea- I didn’t. I had counselling after mine and I do think it helped me massively as pregnancy after loss is hard x

It was the same for me I went to my scan this week thinking I was 12w and they said baby stopped growing at 8-9w. I still feel heartbroken 💔

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
