Advice on checks/ tests/ changes

Sorry to talk about something so triggering but I’ve just had a miscarriage and heartbroken and I know that it’s common, it might just be an abnormal chromosome etc. but I’m jus wondering if anyone has gone through this and recommends any blood tests, checks, or ways to prevent this from happening that’s helped you.
I just keep wondering what happened. I am going to start trying again but absolutely terrified.

I've had two, with a threatened miscarriage on this pregnancy. If there's any incidence on either side of issues I'd consider chromosomal testing or generic counseling, otherwise it really can come down to improper cellular division or any random number of deletion errors or mutations that make baby incompatible to continue on. My heart is with you through this, take the time you need to grieve this loss and work through it however feels right for YOU. You know any possible future children won't ever replace this lost child, and that's not the point in going forward. If it feels right to start soon, then do so. If it needs time, make time. You may always remember this and carry some trauma but it doesn't need to stop your life or define you. You are capable and resilient, and so so many women experience so much loss before realizing it or at different stages that we understand and hold space for your feelings right now. If you have other risk factors that make you feel better, do it for it for peace of mind.

Bed transition

When did you move your baby into their own room? My baby is now 6 months old and this morning I found him on his stomach in his next to me. He can roll both ways but hasn’t got the understanding that he can’t always roll in the direction he wants to. I worry about SIDS with him being on his stomach. I have anxiety about moving him into his own room because I can’t just look over and check he’s ok and breathing. Has anyone else experienced this and when did you move your baby into their room?

Pain in the shoulder

Hey everyone!

Anyone experienced shoulder pain during pregnancy?

I’m reading all these things online and I’m starting to freak out as I am not sure if it’s because of training or something more serious. It’s not at the tip of the shoulder and don’t have any bleeding.

My scan is on the 5th of November! I am about 5 weeks ish
