Miscarriage and then chemical pregnancy

Hi all,

I miscarried at the end of April, I didn't wait for my next period to try again. I started ovulation strips to confirm ovulation. I got a faint positive on a first response test a couple of days ago. I then started getting cramps and started bleeding today. So the faint positive must have been a chemical, as it completely disappeared. My question is, would I be entitled to some support now? I will message my GP tomorrow, I just wondered if anyone had a similar experience. Thank you in advance x

From what an OB told me (after I had gone through my first miscarriage) she told me they wouldn't look into it till it happens 3 times in a row.

The updated guidelines say they should start investigations after 2 miscarriages but different providers may or may not be up to date and may or may not count miscarriages that were never clinically recognized

After my second chemical pregnancy I asked the GP to do a full round of bloods to check if anything was wrong which they did do for me. They couldn't refer me to recurrent loss clinic unless I had had 3 in a row so was then referred after my ectopic pregnancy x

Seems I’m the only one :(

Has anyone else had a complicated c section? I had an emergency c section Feb 2025 after making it to fulled dilated as they pulled him out they didn’t realised I had endo and scarring to the point all my organs were fused together so as they pulled him out they ripped the side of my uterus and the back of it as it was fused together the back wall! I had to be put to sleep before I seen my baby so they could take my uterus out and stitch me all back up…waking up I barely remember anything apart from how much pain I was in I couldn’t even hold my baby!
A month later I went back into hospital with sepsis, they opened my scar back up to drain it again so much pain and time away from my baby!
My boy is now 15mths old and I still have a turbo ovarian cyst the size of a grape, I’m still in pain daily 😫 there has to be someone out there with a story similar to mine?!

Appalled...scheduled c section stress

Anyone here has had an experience with an elective c section at a specified time like 12:30 in the afternoon just to be told that the 'schedule changed' so now they are asking you to come in at 8am for 8:30 surgery?

But wait theres more...this was scheduled on a Wednesday, confirmed on a Friday for Monday surgery and you have a toddler...

Diarrhea and labour

Those of you who have posted previously about having diarrhea - did you end up going into labour after?
I’m trying to workout whether I should be terrified or not 🙃.

If you’re burnt out and need a break

Will your partner/husband take the load so you can rest?
