Miscarriage

I was 12w6d. I got intense bleeding so I went to the ER. I found out I’ve been miscarrying. Fetus was only measuring 7w5d. I’m so extremely sad and disappointed, my emotions are everywhere. Have to wait for the fetus to fully pass now. This was my first pregnancy after 6 months of trying to conceive. Any advice on how to navigate from here? When can I start trying again? What can I do differently to avoid this again…

Baby girl arrived today💕

Baby girl decided to come today at 39 weeks and 4 days! She was due on the 18th but my water broke yesterday so I got induced. She’s healthy and beautiful 🥹

Which cake is cuter for a 2 year olds birthday? I feel like 1 is more age appropriate but 2 might be nicer?

After birth midwife visits

Just wondering if this is a new thing across the board or not, mine and babies day 5 midwife visit I’m being told is at the hospital where as my first baby they came to the house for all checks. Any one else being sent elsewhere for this?

I’m 5 days post c-section and can barely get off the sofa so I don’t think this is a very practical appointment in regards to major abdominal surgery 🤦🏻‍♀️

12 week scan slip up ?

I’m at my 12 week scan and the midwife said she 4x in my scan and when we asked did you just say she her face dropped and she started stuttering and said no she didn’t when she 100% did me and my husband heard her

Advice please🥹

My partner and I have been trying for two years and finally got our positive yesterday! Ironically after being diagnosed last month with unexplained infertility. I actually had a bit of a burn out after receiving my diagnosis and never tracked my ovulation so I don’t know exactly how far along I am. Clear blue says 1-2.

I am terrified of miscarriage and chemical pregnancies. I have been spotting for around 3 days and I’m worried sick I will lose this baby. I have PCOS too but I’m not sure if that has any bearing on anything.

Does anyone have any advice for me at all? We haven’t spoke to anyone so I can’t even talk with my friends or family about it all, it’s so early on💜

Elective c-section

Hi everyone! Im just really confused and would love to hear about other people's experiences.....
I had a 3b perineal tear after my first little one 2 years ago and now im 31 weeks pregnant and they've given me an option between an elective c-section vs natural birth. Im terrified about the c-section as ive never had surgery before and I've heard of people getting the "shelf" that never goes away.... The obstitrician recommends a c-section saying there's a 10-15% chance that I'll retear and 50% of people that do will have life long symptoms of incontinence but my midwife is so confident in her skills that she says that the chances I'll get another 3b tear is small, I might get a 2nd degree tear, not a 3rd degree one. Has anyone had a tear with their first and gone either way with the second that could help me out?? Thank you!!!
