Sad News (Loss)

Just found out I had a miscarriage today. Very painful and devastating experience. I was supposed to be 11 weeks pregnant, this would have been my 3rd child. The baby measured 8 weeks with no heartbeat. I know everything will be ok and the lord will get us through but it's just scary and sad right now. Nothing prepares you for this kind of news. We've already started sharing the news with friends and family and it's just painful having to tell everyone we are no longer expecting especially my kids. There are so many emotions going on inside me right now. I would just really love to talk to other moms who have gone through this, how did you make it through?
It would be encouraging if you could leave a prayer in the comments for me and my family, thank you ❤️

Sending you love, strength and prayers through this hard and difficult news. I’m so sorry. I don’t have experience, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.🩶🙏

Hi Karimah, I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I have experienced this and know the heartbreak.

I’m so sorry for your loss , I lost my son at 21weeks and i completely understand how heartbreaking what your going thru is, please feel free to reach out and shoot me a message if you need someone to talk to. I’ll be praying for you and your family 💕🙏🏽

I am so so sorry you are going though this, this is never an easy experience, take time and be gentle with yourself and make sure you understand you gave your little one a perfect safe womb, you gave them comfort and all they knew was love, warmth and comfort, Gods timing can be so hard for us to understand but he wanted your little one to be safe in his arms. You will meet your little one again, they are safe in heaven in the protective arms of are father. I know that doesn’t remove the hurt, but I pray you can find a level of peace in this. If you need to talk please message me, it takes time to heal from this, I wish I knew God during my loss, but now I know the Lord is looking after my little one until I’m called home. I celebrate my little one, I think of them and sometimes I talk to them in a way to help my mind heal. Surround yourself with family and peace, take it easy and look after your body, I was told by my Christian Therapist that planting a tree might help

Any guesses?

I just had my 12 week scan today! Any fun guesses on the gender using the nub theory? 🥰

Emergency scan

Hi! I went to triage on Saturday night for reduced movement as I hadn’t felt baby all day. I was checked over with Doppler etc and sent on my way - midwife said everything was great.

I’ve just been called by the hospital that I’m booked in for an emergency scan and it’s just taken me by surprise. Has anyone else experienced this?

C section with a 2 Yr old

Please be honest how much of a struggle is this? I am worried, I'm currently 34 weeks but struggling to walk bc of my pelvis, it's already difficult having to run after her and with the tantrums etc
Any tips ??

How does everyone do it

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have a 3 year old and I can’t even get out of bed without being sick, can’t even stand for longer than 2 minutes, my toddler is basically living on snacks as I can’t get out of bed to cook, I can’t even take him to nursery I feel terrible, I’m only 8 weeks and have so much longer to go 😭

Birth plan

Debating between natural birth vs C section.
Labour lengths, recovery times afterwards, control involved in a c section, pregnancy again after c sections.. give me your experiences/opinions. 😊
(Also, if the hospital was 1.5 hours away would that affect your decision)

Early labour?

Im really unsure if what I’m having is the start of labour or just digestive pains? I’ve been getting sharp/crampy pains across my abdomen and back which come and go every 10/15 mins, not really typical period like pains yet but they are very noticeable. I feel like it’s been getting more painful since this morning, but at the same time I’m having diarrhoea and nausea. The only difference I’ve noticed is the pain is not going away after going to the toilet or position changes. I’m going to call triage but I thought to wait and see a few more hours. BTW I’m 37 weeks
