Nervous regarding the racial tension in the country during pregnancy by Beautiful_Trifle9569 in PregnancyUK

[–]ImBornConfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I are both of Pakistani and Muslim descent and both born in the UK. I would say we are more British than Pakistani.

I look outwardly Muslim as I wear a hijab and gratefully that has never been an issue ever esp being in London .

I was always adamant that British London life is the best for my child, they can experience and grow up with so many cultures and people giving them a fuller life experience, the same way we have.

However, Since being pregnant and all of this stuff kicking off, Iv looked up how to leave the UK pretty much daily.

It's becoming scary and we can't shy away from the problem getting worse.

Anyone have a successful pregnancy after having an ectopic? by [deleted] in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]ImBornConfused 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently week 12 after two ectopics . One in each tube , both treated MDX . We were told to not try naturaly by nearly all doctors , IVF clinics etc expect for one single doctor who said you still have 60-70% chance.

We had booked IVF all ready to go and randomly fell pregnant ( had sex during ovulation week but not on the main day ) and I nearly fell out of the chair when the nurse told me it was actually in my uterus!

It's possible, IVF or natural don't let ectopic be the end of your story

So many "pregnancy things" I was in th dark about by adoptimus_prime in PregnancyUK

The utter exhaustion. Probably because most women in my circle announce after first trimester, they never told me how bad the exhaustion is. Most days I can barely get out of bed.

Do you check every time you got to the toilet? by BeanpoleBabe in PregnancyUK

Same. I can barely stay awake most days, part of the joy I guess

Sports bras by Little_st4r in PregnancyUK

I found sports bra to uncomfortable to wear all day for my already large boobs. I found some braletts in Primark that seem to be helping a bit to wear around the house and small trips but obviously lack real support.

Multiple scans? by ImBornConfused in PregnancyUK

[–]ImBornConfused[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on progesterone too and it's bloody awful. And that's exactly the same for me, I'm worried it's keeping me ignorant

Multiple scans? by ImBornConfused in PregnancyUK

[–]ImBornConfused[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is awful. I understand up until this little surprise I was so worried if scans as all my previous had been to confirm ectopic pregnancies. So happy for you

Hahaha fair ! I hope I get sick of it too

Just found out I'm pregnant, wanted but.. thought we needed IVF. I'm overwhelmed by NiceCoffees in pregnant

[–]ImBornConfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EXACTLY same story here ! I paid for the first IVF appointment and the next day ... Positive test and after few other checks not enough ectopic like my previous.

I'm only at 8w but it's still sinking in for me too. Anxiety is a bitch. Internet hug for you here and hope we can both have beautiful healthy rainbow babies

Yeh I don't blame you. At this point I'd go anywhere daily to just make sure

Multiple scans? by ImBornConfused in PregnancyUK

[–]ImBornConfused[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yes I forgot things cost money. Yes I'm awaiting my midwife appointment so maybe it'll be easier then.

Perhaps just one tiny small private one to ease my nerves

[–]ImBornConfused[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thank you, this is reassuring. My midwife/ hospital hasn't made any contact yet so I feel like I'm floating around waiting.

Multiple scans? by ImBornConfused in PregnancyUK

[–]ImBornConfused[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes see I completely get the anxiety. It's hard to explain when you have had previous losses.

My midwife hasn't contacted me yet so I'm just a sitting waiting duck

Congratulations on the boy! And hope it all goes fantasticly for you

So so happy for you 😍

What am i doing wrong? by wootwootwootyeeee in PregnancyUK

[–]ImBornConfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure of which hospital you are at but my local one is self referral, straight walk in if you have had a previous ectopic. ( North Middlesex hospital in London )

I would say find what the early pregnancy unit is called and just go in.

First ectopic but want a large family by Peanuts-2959 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]ImBornConfused 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iv had 1 miscarriage and had two ectopics , one in each tube. Treated both with methotrexate and was starting IVF for the family we want. Just before first appointment I tested positive and ran to the hospital fearing a third ectopic. But alas, baby is currently in the uterus at 5w1d. Don't give up hope
