Sex with partner?

Just a little vent, I don’t know what answers I’m expecting from this 😂 I know sex during pregnancy is safe but I’m sooo scared to have sex with my boyfriend as last time we had sex when pregnant I bled straight after and then miscarried and I don’t want to risk that happening again. He’s so understanding and…

Just had my first chemical pregnancy 😭

Really need some advice as I’d like to get back trying asap. For anyone who has had one before, how quickly did you ovulate again? Do you count the first day of post-miscarriage bleeding as CD1? I read online that the bleeding is not considered a regular period..

5 weeks + 4 days🤞🏻

I've been so nervous about testing because when I miscarried in June, I never got this far to get a 3+ on a digital (I know not everyone does). But this morning I got my 3+ with my little rainbow🥺🤞🏻🌈 keep sticking little one💕

Recurring dream where I kick my husband out

We're in the post partum "roommate" phase, which I know will eventually pass... but I keep having these recurrent dreams/daydreams where I kick my husband out for cheating on me. They're weirdly satisfying. He hasn't really done anything wrong. Anyone else have this?

High risk pregnancy help?

Hi, anyone who has been classed as a high risk pregnancy… when did you get your first scan? I’ve been classed as HR as I’ve had 3 recurrent miscarriages but I’ve not had any problems or bleeding so far so just wondering if my first scan will still be 12 weeks or earlier. Thanks!

Feeling discouraged - positive test

How long after a miscarriage did you finally test negative? I’m only one week post miscarriage but still getting very positive tests 😩 I had hoped they would at least get lighter after a week. It has me feeling discouraged. We miscarried at 8w and while we do plan to wait until after my first period to try again,…

Stopping prednisolone

For anyone who’s been on prednisolone when/how have you been told to wean and stop them during your pregnancy? I’ve been given one regime by my IVF clinic and a completely different one by my recurrent miscarriage consultant, neither of which will communicate with each other! My gut says to go with my miscarriage c...

Any tips on becoming less scared?

In July I had a miscarriage. I was 5 weeks and 3 days. Now I’m pregnant again, I’m 4weeks 6 today, and I’m absolutely terrified for the next few days. I feel like my next checkpoint is Sunday. But it’s only Tuesday and I’m proper worrying. Does anyone know how to stop being this scared? Or is that just a normal thing?

Heartbeat dropped from 8-9weeks

I’ve been getting weekly scans since I’m in a high risk category (recurrent miscarriage + SCH). The fetal heart rate at my 8 week scan was 157. At my 9 week scan today it went down to 145. Anyone experience something similar? Am I just spiraling?

Nervous for first scan tomorrow

I have an early scan booked in for 8 weeks as I’m a high risk pregnancy. I have everything going through my head right now! I don’t have much in the way of symptoms and I dread the thought of a blighted ovum (would there realistically be symptoms for that already?). It’s honestly scaring me! Any advice or positive s...

Intrusive thoughts

Sometimes I end up day dreaming, and I’d see myself break the news of a MC… It’s like I practice how I’ll behave to show people I’m ok and not to make them uncomfortable while breaking the news… I’m sorry but I haven’t even had a miscarriage, baby is fine, I am fine! We’re going to do this… so why the hell is my bra...
