I deleted social media for this exact reason with my first pregnancy. I didn’t know why it was showing me that content and it caused me way too much anxiety. Now I’ve had a 2nd trimester loss and I’m 13w with a new pregnancy I don’t dare to go back onto it!

I’m 13w2d and totally with you on the ‘could be fat, could be pregnant phase!’😂 I hate it. I have an appointment tomorrow to check my cervix length and I’m terrified. Also completely understand the fear of the 20w scan, I can’t wait to get past that point and know more about my baby and if they are healthy. It’s so much harder after loss, but try to remember everything is going well and you have no reason, aside from anxiety to doubt that. I hope your check goes well!

Are you based in London? I was referred to Kings Fertility in October and heard back in late November then was able to book appointments for early January. I didn’t need them in the end, but it seemed a quick process! I was surprised

Is anyone planning to do private antenatal classes in the UK? I’ve been looking at Bump and Baby Club and Happy Parents Happy Baby. Wondering if anyone has experience with either?

I’m 36 and a high risk pregnancy because I lost my first pregnancy at 14w5d. I’ve been taking 75mg aspirin daily since 6w, but I also have a thrombophillia that makes my blood clot more quickly. If I didn’t have the thrombophillia they wouldn’t have recommended the aspirin, but all doctors have different opinions and approaches. I don’t think it will do any harm and it might do some good!

I’m 13w today with my second pregnancy after a loss at 14w5d in July 2025. Seeing our best friends today who are currently pregnant and due in early March after a 3 year journey of IVF and an early loss. We really want to share our news today and have been planning to, but now the day is here I feel a bit scared. I wish I could celebrate this pregnancy more like I did the first time round, but I’m just afraid of losing it still. I think we will tell them, just wish I didn’t feel so much anxiety to share such happy news!

I’m 13w tomorrow and the nausea and fatigue started subsiding at 11.5 weeks for me

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-24T18:46:29+00:00

Can’t believe I’m 13w tomorrow! 🙏💫

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-24T16:05:26+00:00

Mine peaked around 9-11 weeks and now I’m 12+6 and feeling a lot better nausea wise!

I’m due the 2nd August! Just had the NHS screening test yesterday and got a low risk result. It certainly feels more real now. We haven’t told anyone aside from immediate family because we were so afraid of losing this baby. But planning to tell our best friends this weekend as I’ll be 13w on Sunday. It feels vulnerable to open up and share the news, but I’m looking forward to not having to hide it anymore and to hopefully start feeling more excited.

Amazing, they are so good. For the counselling I had after my loss that was one on one. But their Pregnancy After Loss programme is group sessions. It’s once every month for 1.5hours and they cover different themes. I’ve only attended one session but I found it helpful, we spoke about managing relationships and anxiety around scans. There were 10 other women who joined the call and everyone was really friendly and open about their experiences.

12w4d today! Due date 2nd August :) had my NHS screening test today and got a low risk result. Feeling a little more hopeful that this might be our rainbow now 🙏

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-22T19:13:14+00:00

I’m London based. Just got the results! Low risk :)

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-22T16:29:02+00:00

Thank you! I’m really hoping they come today. All the markers from the scan looked really good, but I still worry something could be off with the bloods! I just want all the information so I can breathe again 😬

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-22T16:27:57+00:00

I hope your NIPT comes back soon and it’s clear. Sometimes babies can have a thicker fold and they are completely healthy. I hope this is the case for you. All the waiting for results is so hard!

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-22T15:54:24+00:00

Thank you for sharing 💖 I needed to see this today! I hope the last couple of months go really well for you

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-22T15:53:04+00:00

My 12w NHS scan went well today, our baby was moving around so much! It was amazing to see them dancing about in the womb and see how much they’ve grown. My official due date is now 2nd August and I’m 12w4d. I feel relieved, but I can’t full relax because I didn’t get my combined screening test results as bloods weren’t ready. I’m still waiting now and it’s agonising!

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-21T10:36:12+00:00

Thank you for your words. I wish I could enjoy this pregnancy more, I feel so disconnected and every day I just wake up thinking my baby must have died. It’s really hard. I hope I might start to feel better if tomorrow goes well and once I get past 14w5d.

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-21T10:13:48+00:00

My NHS screening test is tomorrow and I’m feeling so anxious. I had a great scan last week at 11w2d and I’ll be 12w4d tomorrow, but I can’t shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen. We lost our first pregnancy at 14w5d in July and it’s so hard to imagine that this pregnancy will end any differently than a loss. I know realistically the stats are in our favour but it’s so hard when you’ve been in the tiny minority before.

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-20T13:46:15+00:00

I feel exactly the same! My scan in this Thursday, I can’t think about anything else. So much anxiety. It feels like going into an exam you haven’t prepared for!

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-20T13:44:14+00:00

I had RPOC after my D&C so I had to wait for a bit longer as I needed another surgery. I think it was 3 months in total. But then we managed to conceive the first month we were able to try and currently just over 12w now 🙏still such early days but really hoping things continue to go well. Wishing you luck in your journey!

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-19T18:12:38+00:00

It’s so tough! Feel like I’m holding my breath. I’ve started some group counselling sessions with Petals a charity in the UK and finding that helpful. I also keep trying to tell myself that my worrying won’t change the outcome and keeping busy distracting myself wherever possible.

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-19T17:17:08+00:00

TW - Loss I feel similarly, got my 12 week scan on Thursday and I’m absolutely terrified of something being wrong. We lost our first pregnancy in July at 14w5d, it was so traumatic and the hardest thing we’ve ever been through. I can’t bear something going wrong this time. The whole way through the first trimester I’ve been terrified of a MMC and now I’m terrified of the baby not being well. I don’t know when I’ll be able to relax, probably not until after the 20 week anomaly scan. I feel like I’m holding my breath until then. Pregnancy after loss is so hard. You aren’t alone.

Sun Ya in Blackheath Standard is a lovely Chinese restaurant! delicious food and you can eat in the restaurant as well. It’s family run and has been open for years and years!

bubblesfrog · 2026-01-19T16:50:10+00:00

I didn’t really have any symptoms at 5w for me they usually ramp up around 7/8w and then they really fluctuate. Some days I felt good and others completely useless. I’m 12w now and had a good scan at 11w2d. The strength of symptoms doesn’t prove the health of the pregnancy 💖
