the only thing that really helped me was telling myself I’m pregnant until I’m not. I’ve had 4 miscarriages and thought for sure it wasn’t in the cards for me but I’m 28 weeks now. There was nothing I could do about it. If something bad was gonna happen I had no control over it. So far I’ve had a relatively normal and healthy pregnancy and I hope the same for you!

I had first miscarriage December 2023 at 8 weeks. We then were ttc for a year and forgot about it as it wasn't happening. Fell pregnant that cycle, Feb 2025 and miscarried at 6 weeks.

After having 2 healthy pregnancies I wondered what was wrong with my body and why I couldn't hold a pregnancy no more. I fell pregnant again March 2025 (no period inbetween) and tbh I didn't really think about it, I didn't tell anyone and kind of just pushed it to the back of my mind as I didn't think it was going to last. I declined the early 6 week scan and went at 8 weeks and I cried happy tears when I saw a baby and a strong heartbeat. And from then I told myself "this baby is it" and have been positive since!

I'm now 20 weeks♥️
It is so hard but try to stay positive! I hope it all goes well for you x

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.

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.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Baby due

My baby is due April 22 what should I put in my hospital bag
