Pregnancy with IUD

Hi all. I'm 11 weeks pregnant with a copper IUD. The strings are not visible and I'm looking to have the IUD removed as it seems the risks of continuing the pregnancy with the IUD are too high.
What my doctor told me and what the internet seems to say in regards to miscarriage during the removal seems to be very different.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?

Ive not been through this. I would ask your doctor what the plan is going forwards. If they cant safely remove it they wont.

When I had IUD (not pregnant) and they couldn’t find the strings , my doctor told me to try going somewhere else before discussing having it surgically removed. Not saying that to scare you. I was able to go to planned parenthood and they were able to find the strings and pull it out within minutes.

I would get a 2nd opinion from a doc

Out of breath

I’m 31 weeks FTM, is it normal to be so out of breath when talking and doing everyday stuff? Don’t want to call maternity if it’s not something to stress about.
Thank you x

Doppler heartbeat

Hello I’m 18 weeks pregnant. Went into triage for reduced movement and they couldn’t find baby’s heartbeat. Did a scan and baby was fine, sitting comfortably and heartbeat nice and strong.
But my mind is racing as to why the Doppler never picked it up?!

Aches, pains, headaches

I’m 35 weeks tomorrow, for the last two mornings I’ve woken up with the worst headache, but horrific aches and pains.
My whole body aches like I’ve gone ten round with a bag of bricks! Any one else? 😫

Emergency c section

I had my little boy last week - I was so desperate to have everything as natural as possible - my waters broke in the morning I went back to bed and tried to get some sleep - when I woke up the waters were a horrible colour so went to the hospital where it was confirmed there was meconium in them, so I was then induced to get me going on an oxytocin drip - I didn’t want pain relief just a water birth so I did 18 hours on an oxy drip just with gas and air, I got to 10cm dilated and started pushing etc after being in the pool, I then was told there was a bit of my cervix in the way and they couldn’t get him over it, by this point I was so drained and just couldn’t take anymore! It then just went on for so long I started panicking about why he wasn’t coming I was given the option for an emergency section but it was a big risk because of how long my labour had been going on. I had the section and everything was fine in the end but both me and my partner feel like it was so traumatic and just not how we wanted or expected it to go - I now keep going over and over it and how disassociated I felt with my baby to start with 🥺😢
