Suprise pregnacy!

I had a miscarriage in 2021 followed by infertility, with the help of some medication I had a successful pregnancy that gave me my baby boy in 2023. He’s 17 months and I’m shocked to find out I’ve naturally fallen pregnant which we didn’t think would be possible for us. My period still haven’t been like clockwork so I’m anywhere between 6-8 weeks pregnant. It was around this time I lost my first pregnancy.

I’m feeling absolutely petrified that I’m going to miscarry this pregnancy. I’m just not sure what i can do to help or calm myself over the next few weeks.

I had a miscarriage last month. And the only thing that's kept my mind at ease is taking a pregnancy test every day. That way I know my pregnancy is still viable if the lines stay the same and it gets darker every other day.

I’d contact the early pregnancy unit at your hospital and see if they’ll do an early scan for you given your history. Maybe do it at the point you got to when you miscarried to give you a little more confidence. I’ve had 3 losses (one of which I’m going through now) so I fully appreciate your anxiety. I hope it all goes well for you!

Leaking waters?

I’m 35 weeks today wooo but… every morning for the past two weeks I’ve woken up with a palm sized water mark in my pants! - no smell, no pain and unaware of it happening…

I thought it might be leaking waters so got it checked out but the midwife said it was might be urine/watery discharge! - but it’s still happening.. thoughts? 💭🫶🏻

Pelvic girdle pain and birth

I have been experiencing awful pain. More so recently. I'm now using crutches to get around but it's more painful at night and when I lay down or sit down. I'm worried about birthing. I've got other issues and baby boy is estimating 8pounds at 36 weeks. I've been booked in for an induction 9 days prior to my due date. Surely he's going to be even bigger and I just don't feel like I've had any birth discussions in detail really. Ive only seen midwife twice and each time I've seen a consultant it's someone different. Has anyone else experienced awful pelvic pain and birthed a big baby?

Upcoming C-section.

So I’ve decided to go for an elective C-section, I know it’s the right choice after months of deliberating but I’m soooooo nervous.

I’ve had 2 very complicated births. I kinda know what to expect from the recovery as I had an emergency section with my first but I just feel nervous about being awake during it & what it feels like.. I’ve heard they strap your arms down and I’m scared of something going wrong.

I know every experience is different but if you’re happy to share what your elective was like for you (good and bad) id be very grateful. I feel really unprepared!

C-section infection

Anyone with c-section infection experience?
I’m 9 weeks pp and I’ve been battling an infection on the left hand side of the wound for 4 weeks. Now that I managed to get that side better, the other half suddenly started oozing.
I’ve been on 3 rounds of antibiotics, I’m pretty sure they are giving my baby reflux. What the hell I’m supposed to do??!! 😭
