What to do after 2nd miscarriages

Hi, I had 2nd miscarriage last month. We are trying to conceive this month. After conceived, can my GP refer me to an early pregnancy unit for close monitoring to reduce miscarriage risk for 3rd time? I am in the impression that GP will refer only after 3rd miscarriage. Mine would be 3rd pregnancy this time. Any thoughts, please?

I believe it’s after 3, but you can always book a private early scan. I have luckily not experienced a miscarriage before but I did book a private early scan at 9 weeks for my little one and it gave me so much reassurance.

Hi, I don't believe the NHS will do any sort of referral until after 3 miscarriages and even then you have to request help and chase up.
I hope everything goes ok for you this time 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Definitely after 3 I believe. I had 2 miscarriage and one ectopic pregnancy, I paid for a private scan for a clear of mind at 6 and 12 weeks (I know you get a scan at 12 weeks but I had spotting and I was worried about losing my baby again). Ps; she’s 12 weeks old healthy baby now

I went straight to EPU when I was 3 weeks on my 4th pregnancy after 3 miscarriages and they scanned me straight away. I requested progesterone and it was given to me, I didn’t see my gp once for any of the miscarriages and did not need a referral to go there through them. I called the EPU directly when I had my positive test and told them my circumstances and they arranged an appointment for a scan that afternoon x

Absolutely lost with due date 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

So I’ve just had my 100th scan and the sonographer was really confused so read through every single one of my reports (there’s a lot , it took her 50 minutes!) and it’s now been decided (AGAIN!) that my due dates wrong 🤦🏼‍♀️
Has anyone had their due date changed 8 times in one pregnancy? I’ve had every date between the 17th-23rd at this point 🤦🏼‍♀️

Baby Movements

Hi, i’m nearly 27 weeks with a typically very active baby boy. Last 24 hours his movements have been significantly lower and hadn’t felt anything yesterday afternoon, evening or into the morning today. I had a routine midwife appointment and she sent me to triage for monitoring, the kept me on machine for just over an hour and said baby’s heartbeat is looking good but movements are still low. Has anyone else had any similar experience? Still feeling quite anxious about it all xo

6 month change

Is anyone else sad about the changes their babies will be facing soon!
I remember I couldn’t wait to have my space back with my first.
But I’m actually crying thinking about moving my second into a room on her own. Or even getting rid of the carry cot and the bouncers!
Maybe it’s because she’s our last or maybe we know this is when the circus starts but I don’t know I think it’s so sad 😢

Have you popped yet?

Hi! So I’m 18 weeks tomorrow and I can now see a big difference in my bump. It changed from around 16 weeks, I now have a bump in the morning too and can feel my stomach being tighter and it only gets worse throughout the day. I wonder if anyone else had that too? I was expecting to ‘pop’ later, I was barely showing until now and this is my first pregnancy too. (I aware I will really pop later on but that was a big change already almost overnight!)

Our little rainbow baby is here❤️✨

We welcomed Ember May to the world after 5 long years of waiting for her ❤️✨

4 past her due date

I had a sweep Saturday morning and started contractions at 5 mins apart at 7:30 on Sunday, quickly got to 3 mins apart, arrived at hospital for 10:30 at 7/8cm, started pushing at 15:15 and gave birth at 16:32, home by 10pm! It was an amazing positive magical experience and so grateful to have had such a good pregnancy and labor!

Epidural was AMAZING, highly recommend 😂
