In the first pregnancy I went through preeclampsia and my placenta erupting, to being rushed to theatre and having an emergency cesarean.
My 2and pregnancy I had a miscarriage... i was roughly around 12 weeks pregnant but the baby died at 6 weeks..
Now I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my little one and keeping my fingers crossed everything goes well

Itchy hands and feet can be an indication of choleostasis! I wish I had known! They generally recommend induction. Great question Natasha!

Blimey... I hope all goes well for you! Fingers crossed for you! I had my little one at 31 weeks so everything was a rocking ball at that moment in time. But I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant and hoping for a good pregnancy and birth, no complications this time and no miscarriage hopefully xx

Trust your gut ALWAYS. I had different discharge one day, called my midwife to let her know I thought I was leaking amniotic fluid, they asked me if I soaked a pad in a certain amount of time and all those questions, which I didn’t, so they blew me off saying okay well it’s normal discharge since you’re 32.5 weeks.. I let it go another week, and it kept happening, every once in a while my underwear would be soaked, I finally took control of the situation and went into the center and demanded an invasive test. Sure enough it came back positive for fluid and I had to go straight to the hospital to be induced at 33 weeks, my induction took 78 hours.
If you are leaking fluid it can be dangerous quick, I’m very lucky my baby or myself didn’t end up with an infection, I had a small tiny hole in my water and that’s why it wasn’t the same fluid as usual when this happens, so if a doctor blows you off, GO WITH YOUR GUT & DEMAND them to take your feelings serious!!!!

In first pregnancy I ended up with high blood pressure around 33 week mark some protein was just monitored then ended up with emergency c section as baby heart rate was in distress turned out I had womb infection that was septic and was bit confused with everything tbh . My second pregnancy was pregnancy loss at 20 weeks but I knew something was up from get go as I kept bleeding throughout just had this dreaded feeling my waters broke around 18 week mark then unfortunately I had to be induced at 20 weeks due to fact baby boy wasn’t going to survive I ended up phh ended up anemic so quite week and retained placenta this pregnancy I ended up having emergency c section due to sepsis and being anemic again I found this time around a lot harder
