I had an ectopic pregnancy in August and I am currently going through a miscarriage. We have been trying for a second child for around 5 months now. I’m feeling really low, really wiped out and just exhausted. I really want to be pregnant and now I feel I’m going to be filled with dread and anxiety. Has anyone got any positive stories? Is it also normal to be so drained with a miscarriage, or is this maybe the effects of stress/anxiety?

Hi, feel free to message me if you want to talk. I am currently 12 days past surgical management from my missed miscarriage at the beginning of October - it can feel so incredibly lonely and I wish I had someone who reached out to me to talk! It’s the worst heartache a woman could go through - you are not alone! And albeit not this second but things will get easier, your babies will never be forgotten 👼🏻❤️🩹

Totally normal to feel drained after a miscarriage. Been TTC my second for 10 months now (first baby conceived on 2nd cycle and not really “trying”) have had 2 early losses and also feeling drained. Got another positive test last week and worried it’ll not work out again but feeling more optimistic as I do think if you’re conceiving easily (which you seem to be) then it’s just a matter of time (a “when” rather than an “if”).

Hi, I'm so sorry that you're going through this.
I have an angel from around 5 years ago by termination, and had a miscarriage this year in February and a miscarriage this year in June. I'm currently pregnant with my rainbow girl.
I understand how depressing it can be to experience what you're going through, I remember begging my partner for my baby back, and begging him for another baby, and being consumed in grief and stress.
Honestly, what helped was giving it time and just living my life. My fertility journey is absolutely not the same as others so I understand I had less struggle than people actively TTC and IVF couples, all my pregnancies were unplanned.
So not sure if this is normal and this is so embarrassing for me to talk about but every time I go toilet to do number 2 there’s always blood. Is this normal?

39 weeks and after having false contractions and braxton hicks for the last week, my waters broke and don’t really feel any kind of tightening anymore. Baby is moving fine just feels strange to be leaking everywhere.
Everyone said it would be like trickling but it’s a lot of gushes that I wasn’t expecting. Is this normal for most?

Hey all, can someone please explain to me what Brixton hicks feel like/felt like to you? I never experienced them with my first, and I’ve never experienced menstrual cramping, as I’ve had people try compare it to that.
I just felt pain that shot all around the lower and upper section of my bump and round to my back, made me throw up in pain…idk if that is a Brixton hock or something else.
I also never went into labour with my first child either…

Anyone else? He’s not even attempting it.

We’ve just found out we’re having a girl 💕 but really struggling with names, my first is Ellie … this time I like things like Margot, Orla, Sofia, Lottie, Sienna … can anyone think of any names that are slightly different but nothing too complicated?!

wish me a happy bday
