Think I’m having a mmc and just need to write it out

Hey ladies. So I had my positive tests on the 2/8/25 clear blue x 2 and a digital showing 1-2 weeks. No real symptoms which was very different to my son, I had HG and was the sickest person ever. Took a while to get 2-3 (I know I know I shouldn’t have). Was referred to the recurrent losses clinic and booked in for a scan on Friday 22nd. I started spotting very very lightly on and off, no pain or anything too scary but I had this with my son from 4w so wasn’t too worried at this point. Symptoms didn’t progress and the digital weeks indicator hasn’t progressed past 2-3 and I think I took that about 2 weeks ago now.. so on Friday I had a very silent scan and it’s not my first rodeo I knew what was coming. She said that there’s no sign of a pregnancy matching my dates (7+1) from my LMP but again this happened with my son, scanned and nothing there, prepped for a loss and then a week later a beautiful flicker. So I asked if there was any indication of a pregnancy because I’m still positive and I’ve not passed anything that would be enough for it to have completely gone as it’s just light spotting. She said there was a thickening of the womb which would suggest a pregnancy of approximately 5weeks but couldn’t really say. So I had my first HCG bloods Friday afternoon and my second will be tomorrow (bloody BH weekend..) I am fully expecting bad news tomorrow, and I don’t really know why I’m writing this but yeah. It’s rubbish and I’m feeling so sad. It’s almost harder because I had a little miracle with my son and that gives a slight glimmer of hope but also lightening doesn’t strike twice.. thanks if you got this far x

I would say that while you should guard your heart you also should not lose hope yet. Those digital tests are notorious and not to be trusted on dates - what is the most important is the blood test and hopefully a later scan. Also a lack of symptoms isn’t necessarily a sign of a miscarriage at all. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you and sending all of the positive vibes your way x

Bless you, I've been in similar. Like Kate said don't lose hope or dwell. Try and stay positive minded. Well wishes all for you....x

Just been to have my bloods, they’ll call me this evening. Hopefully the last of the long days waiting and we’ll know either way later on

Unfortunately got the call confirming I have/am miscarrying. Levels dropped since Friday. Still no heavy bleeding so have to have repeat bloods in a week to see what’s happening.

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?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
