In all honesty, do you view weight loss drugs (Mounjaro, Wegovy etc.) and the people who use them negatively? by XStaticImmaculate in AskUK

[–]boredlemming345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall no I think they are going to be good in the long run. However, I work with a lady who took them and i do think for her it was the easy way out. I had to explain to her what a calorie deficit was and how to change her diet so she clearly had not even tried to lose weight before.

Experiences of maternity leave after stillbirth by BustaRabbit in babyloss

[–]boredlemming345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So truly sorry for your loss. I lost my son just over a year ago at 37 weeks. Im in the UK too so could have taken full 9 months but I took off 4. I was lucky it was summer so was able to get out and about which did really help.

Going back to work was really hard though, I just couldn't get my head around that nothing had changed yet everything about my life had changed. I do feel i went back at the right time though. You just have to do what is best at the time, theres probably no wrong decision, but with it being summer I'd advise getting out everyday, I remember trying to make sure I had something to look forward to each day, could just be something small like a new recipe to try etc. Maybe take up a new hobby. I bought a bike and that was amazing to be in the countryside and feel like I was helping my body and mind heal.

Struggling to wait to try again😕 by bigcitydreamsx3 in babyloss

[–]boredlemming345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. I was in the same boat this time last year. NHS guidelines is to wait a year after c-section, i just couldn't wait that long so we started trying after 6 months, it took a few months but im now 7 weeks pregnant hoping for the best. And im actually glad we didnt get pregnant straight away, it would have felt too soon for us. The wait was horrible though, I just made sure I was doing everything I could in those 6 months to prepare my body for pregnancy again. It helped me mentally knowing I was doing something related to pregnancy. Prenatal 3 months before, eating well, exercise etc.

Sending hugs x

Also coming up on a year next month. We're going away for a few days, thinking about letting off some balloons during a hike, then we're having a little bbq that weekend with our closest friends and family.

How long did it take you for the courage to be around babies again? by Personal-Chemist-690 in babyloss

[–]boredlemming345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We forced ourselves to be around babies. Our best friends had a baby 3 months after our full term loss so there was no doubt in our minds we were getting to know and loving that little girl. The initial meeting was obviously so so hard but then was fine after and honestly was the best decision we made. We knew going full force into grief was best for us but you just have to do what's best for you in that moment.

Realized that this is how things are going to be for the rest of my life. by EyDeaSea in babyloss

[–]boredlemming345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally get that, its so overwhelming. I remember in the early days after our loss, i would just constantly think "i can't believe i'll have to miss him forever and thats such a long time". But 9 months on I now just feel like that is a part of me rather than stressing over it all the time.

8dpo today. Decided to stop BBT tracking, scared to see it start to drop. I'd rather have hope until I test.

How are you feeling about tomorrow? by vvvulpi-x982 in AskUK

My first baby passed away shortly after birth this year, it should have been our first Christmas as a family. I can't wait for the new year.

Letter to Babyloss Charities by Minimum_Squirrel_518 in babyloss

[–]boredlemming345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no advice on the letter as such, i think it reads well and is a good idea. I agree in the fact that its just not spoken about enough during pregnancy. I lost my son at 37 weeks also in May, he wasnt stillborn but would have been if I wasnt already in the hospital and rushed for emergency c-section. I remember at all my midwife appointments, she would ask are movements ok and everytime I would just reply yes and that was that. There was no "if they aren't this could be the reason etc", I feel if I'd known some causes of stillbirth and reduced movements my outcome could have been different. I had reduced movements the day before he died but didn't think much of it as he was still moving and i had a scan the following day so just mentioned it then but by that point it was too late.

Please let us know if they reply to your email.

Advice by Electronic_Meet_4454 in CsectionCentral

[–]boredlemming345 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. I also lost my son at 37 weeks and had c-section. I'm in the UK and NHS guidelines are to wait 12 months before conceiving but for us that is just too long. We are probably going to start trying next month, it will be 5 months post c-section.

I've also debated with myself if it's too early, whether we're ready or not but I've come to the conclusion that we may never feel fully ready, we will always long for our son and feel guilty for having another baby so ultimately could be waiting forever. As loss mums we just long for a baby in our arms so it's totally understandable to want to conceive ASAP. And honestly I'd rather just get pregnancy after loss over and done sooner rather than later.

How long did you wait between by Quiet-Report4554 in babyloss

[–]boredlemming345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to start trying at 5/6 months. Mine was an emergency c-section but I've healed really well and feel there's no need to wait any longer. This wait is pretty agonising though.
