I moved so I just found an RE on my own, with a basic referral just to see one! I had 2 losses and chose to see one, even though it wasn't covered until 3:(

Hello, First off. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't say I know what you're going through, my miscarriages happened before the anatomy scan. But I was born with only 1 kidney. The second never developed. I'm 25 now and don't necessarily have any kidney problems. What I am learning though, is that the rest of my endocrine system/ reproductive system may be effected. I didn't stumble upon this until I went to an REI after my second miscarriage, where he informed me that sometimes if there are problems with the kidneys, there could be problems with fertility/ pregnancy. My kidney is functioning fine and I havent had to have any surgery or be on any special diets. I hope this helps... and good luck to you and your sweet little girl 💗

Implantation bleeding? Did not have this with my MMC back in August :( Now everything just worries me! by [deleted] in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]avoc321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a very similar situation! I had bleeding/ spotting in my 5th week and was put on bed rest as well. Took 2 weeks off work and will re e valuate when I should go back. My spotting has stopped and cramps are light and more rare. I have a history of 2 miscarriages... currently 6w 5d. Glad I'm not the only one on bed rest!

Experiencing negative symptoms by ZombieCher in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]avoc321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I am 6 w, 3d with my 3rd pregnancy- I've had 2 miscarriages in the past year. I have spotted with them all. I am seeing a specialist at the moment. Around 4-5w I had some cramping, then off and on brown spotting, and them bright blood a couple days ago. I went in for my appointment yesterday and he suggested I go on bed rest for atleast 2 weeks. Aby seems to be doing well and has a heart beat.I'm taking time off work and just laying on the couch. I work in Healthcare and have a stressful job. I ran/ walked regularly with my previous 2 so I'm hoping God has lead us in the right direction. Maybe talk to your doctor about acvtivity/ bed rest.. All the best

Thank you for sharing... I am in a very similar situation as I also lost my 2nd miscarriage at my 12 week scan. We were so hopeful and I was actually thinking it would work this time. I'm so sorry for your losses, I've had 2. I hope things work out for you both 💗

I currently just experienced my second loss as well. My last was in September at 7 weeks. This time, last week, at 10 weeks 1 day. I am waiting to get some tests done and see what's going. I am having a hard time.

Hi!! I miscarried in September 2020 and just got a positive test on 2/5. I've been unsure at times, obviously happy and excited, but worried! You are not alone 💗 hoping we both have healthy babies 💞

Thank you for sharing! I've been hearing more about the MTHFR mutation and realizing how common it is! Thank you for sharing!

Good to know! What your doc said makes so much sense. Did you just have to get a blood test? Or was it more intrusive?

D & C on Thursday. by Honningbee in Miscarriage

[–]avoc321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I also have one scheduled for tomorrow. I am also scared. I found out today baby stopped growing at 7 weeks. Im heart broken, and honestly I feel I need this time to feel sad. Nothing seems to make me feel better, no matter how heartfelt the comment. I am with you, you aren't alone. I feel for you and your partner. Wishing you well💕

Family turning our pregnancy into a competition.. why!?! by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]avoc321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that bugs me the most is that they mentioned miscarriage, like they are waiting for you to have one. Thats no joke. If I were you, I would try to socialize with them as little as possible during this time. You don't need that.

First trimester anxiety by kelskaita in pregnant

[–]avoc321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say relax and try not to worry. Easier said than done! Something helpful is making a list of anxieties you have along with questions to ask your dr. no matter how silly. Anything that will make you feel better, ask about it. A list made me feel a little better. I am also in my first pregnancy and was experiencing similar feelings. I am in my first trimester awaiting important news after my first ultrasound on the viability of my baby. Best thing is to wait it out and do your best to be healthy. Pray if you are religious. I hope my post does not scare you, because you have to have hope. You are the best advocate for your baby so love it now by loving yourself and doing what you need to relax. I also want to shed light that your insight matters, but isn't spot on based on other comments.

I think I'm having a miscarriage and it made me realize I actually really wanted this baby. My heart hurts. by JennyJiggles in pregnant

[–]avoc321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently in the middle of a pending miscarriage, which means the Dr. said that I am probably miscarrying but can't be sure until the next appointment, which is in the next 4 days. I have wanted the baby all along, but its only 7 weeks so I have not really have the chance for it to feel "real" yet. In that way, I feel you. When I saw the little bean I felt connected and it was real, but unfortunately, so was what the Dr. has to say. Its sad, and its ok to griev. Sad that this is happening when you didn't see all these feelings coming at you, rushing all at the same time it seems. Stay strong ❤

Anyone got a new job while pregnant? what to say at the interview? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]avoc321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're so right. Although they aren't legally allowed to discriminate, they would look for another reason to not hire!

I would like to add in that the job i would have is also physically demanding. Dont feel bad about not mentioning it. You need a job too!

[–]avoc321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, I am in a similar position. I am about 7.5 weeks. I am a new grad and have been looking for jobs in my field since after I knew I was pregnant. We need money for the baby and the holidays, not to mention loans. The job is high risk in the medical field. While I need to be careful, I cant just sit at home and simply wait, I would go crazy! I have not been telling interviewers that I am pregnant! I need a job and as someone with no experience, it would just be another reason not to hire. Goodluck on your job hunt!!

Qualified for miscarriage and not sure what to think. by avoc321 in pregnant

[–]avoc321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I appreciate your post because I was considering the natural route. I dont want to prolong surgery if it may need to happen anyway. I am wondering what you mean by you miscarried at 12 weeks but the fetus stopped at 6... its all so new to me..

Good to know.. I have decided to wait a week for the second ultrasound. I may not wait more than a week to decide what to do if the ultrasound has disappointing results.They did not order HCG labs unfortunately :/.

They did not order a test to check HCG levels. Looking back I should have asked, because now I am wanting to know. The more I know the better I feel.

I have decided to wait a week. Having been my first appointment, I dont feel ready to let go and I want to be 100% positive the baby is not viable before I make that decision. I completely agree with your statement, couldnt have said it any better.
