GRAPHIC PHOTO - TTC 5 years - is this a miscarriage?

Hi all,

Long story short, hubby and I have been TTC since summer 2019. Been through 1 cycle of IVF with no positive test at the end, 1 natural BFP last year that ended in a miscarriage.

I came back from holiday last week, been on period delay pills, and started bleeding a few days after I stopped taking them as expected.

Very heavy and painful period and whilst in the bath one night over Christmas, this happened.

Circumstances and everything are very similar to my miscarriage last year so I wonder if this could've been another?

Sorry for the graphic photo!

Did you think you were pregnant? If so, I’d sadly say yes. If not, I’d go see a dr anyway as to randomly shed uterus that big , I wouldn’t call “normal” xx

It looks like a full shed. I used to have them as I have an endometriosis diagnosis and had heavy terrible cycles.

That’s your uterus lining shedding! Go to the hospital immediately

you really don’t need to go to the hospital for that. It’s perfectly natural and not an emergency in any respect.

Hi all,
Thought I'd post an update for anyone interested. I spoke to my GP a few weeks after this happened and they referred me for some scans just to be safe.
They've found 2 fibroids, not sure they're related to the above, but they do explain why these heavy painful periods have become normal for me

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
