Medical support after 2 mc’s, stuck in a grey area.

I am worried we won’t receive any support from a GP, as it’s recommended to seek help after a year of trying without conceiving. Although it’s been over a year for us, we have had two ‘successful’ conceptions, which ended with miscarriages at 8 and 12 weeks. (Hardly successful in my eyes 🙄) Furthermore, we also…

Anxiety

Is anyone else finding it really hard? I’m so anxious and I keep thinking something is wrong and I’m going to lose the baby. I don’t really know who to speak to about it and I don’t know if it’s normal? I had a missed miscarriage last year so I think that is really contributing to how I feel.

Brown Discharge at 7w

I’ve had two moments this weekend that I’ve noticed brown discharge. I hit 7 weeks on Friday and having experienced a miscarriage in April, I’m feeling a little on edge. Is this normal? I don’t see my OBGYN for the first scan until October 1st so the waiting game has me quite uncomfortable. I’m so scared of miscarry...

Pregnancy after a loss

I’m sorry if this question is triggering for anyone. I’ve just suffered my first miscarriage on the first pregnancy. It’s a lot to come to terms with but we want to try again straight away (when I’m able). For anyone who’s had the same situation, how long did it take you to fall pregnant again afterwards?

Any advice after recurrent miscarriage

I’ve had two miscarriages now since June one at 9 weeks and one at 5 weeks in September. I just don’t know where to go from here. What do I do? When I contact the doctors they are saying I have to wait for 3 miscarriages in order to get checked out. But I really want to know what to do next before another miscarriag...

Miscarriage Vent - TW

My partner was at work, I was home alone with our 6 month old baby. Ive had miscarriages before so assumed I’d be okay to mana...

Missed Miscarriage

How long did you test positive for before your miscarriage actually happened ? I've been told I'm likely going to miscarry but nothing has happened yet and I'm still testing positive Have another scan coming up to confirm things

Does anyone know how common mmc is?

Does anyone know how common it is to have a missed miscarriage? I’m pregnant but terrified of losing the baby due to previous missed miscarriage. Everyone keeps telling me “as long as you’re not bleeding then you’re fine”. Is that true? Is it true that missed miscarriages are rarer than ‘normal’ miscarriages?

Guilt hitting hard today

This might be long, need to get it off my chest, it really just hit me today how lucky we got. We had our son last March 2023. After a miscarriage and years of TTC, I resigned myself that it would just be me and my husband. When I found out I was actually, finally pregnant with no intervention, my first thought was...

Miscarriage or continued pregnancy?

I have two sons and gave birth to my youngest in May. I had a normal period in June but was late in July so tested. I had 3 positive tests so booked in to see a midwife. Before I could have the appointment I started bleeding, I had no cramping but it was a fair amount of blood. Midwife booked me in for a scan to s...

Period after Miscarriage

I had a miscarriage 4 weeks ago at 5 weeks pregnant. I was due on my period Sunday (CD25) which is my usual cycle. I started light pink spotting CD27 which lasted a day. I am now CD29 and the spotting has stopped and no sign of my period. I thought it might have been implantation bleeding but I have tested twice and...

Don’t know how to feel

Went for what I thought was a 7 week appointment (and my first) today. During the appointment, the doctor was quiet and I already knew something was up. She mentioned that she saw 5 weeks rather than 7. No heartbeat. She wants me to go back in 2 weeks to confirm 1 or 2 things.. either my conceiving date is wrong or ...
