Looking for positive stories on people conceiving healthy pregnancies after a chemical?

Our first child was born October 2023 after our first try. It’s been a shock it hasn’t happened as quickly this time around :(

Similar to my timeline, but what I find confidence in is a chemical is still kind of a pregnancy, it's a sign you can get pregnant as you usually have a positive test, even if faint. It just does not develop something that fails on implanting..I also got pregnant the first time trying with my first so it does get confusing. I know it's easier said than done but maybe try take a little pressure off yourselves, if that's taking some tracking away OPKs, or just having sex when you actually feel like it. I know it's hard not to be fixed on an idea, but try and relax, it's not been that long in the grand scheme but it feels like ages doesn't it? Wishing you some rainbow baby dust to come your way soon 💖

I have had 3 losses one was a mmc and two were chemical pregnancies I had my last loss last year in September after we tried for nearly a year which was a chemical then we got pregnant in February - it took till December I think for my body to regulate periods again then decided to start trying in January and got pregnant in the Feb!!! , it’s hard the TTC because you want it so bad and it’s exhausting but you’ve got this!! I really hope it happens soon for you sending you all the sticky baby dust✨🌈

Also I’m currently 11 weeks ^ but I promise it’ll be your time soon enough🤍

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

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.

Reduced movements

26 weeks and haven’t really felt little baby all day, she’s usually super active & I have a posterior placenta so I feel her all the time usually. I did feel her ever so briefly earlier right down into my pelvis. I was at maternity triage the other night with tummy cramps but everything was fine and so was baby. What should I do? I don’t want to feel like a nuisance?

Eid celebrations?

Is it normal to celebrate Eid by drinking alcohol and partying non stop … doesn’t that just go against the whole month of Ramadan im so confused
