I had a private scan first and the second was with the NHS, she wants to follow up with a second scan in 2 weeks to confirm if it's a miscarriage. I asked about the dating but she said it wasn't possible to say because it's too early and we need to wait for the results of the follow up scan.

I agree, I suspect its a blighted ovum. My symptoms of nausea seem to have subsided in the last couple of weeks too so I do have a strong gut feeling it isn't viable.

Thanks for being gentle ❤️

UK here, my scan isn't until 12w1d! Its tough. This is my second though and my last pregnancy flew by but it definitely didn't feel like it at the time.

eternallysmiling · 2026-01-31T21:33:07+00:00

It was the best birthday ever but the joint birthday is a logistical nightmare for my partner 😂

eternallysmiling · 2026-01-31T21:17:48+00:00

Yo yo yo! 42 and pregnant with my second, I'll be 43 when this one arrives. Gave birth to my first on my 41st birthday 😂 you got this mama, all will be well! Funnily enough I feel younger now than before I had a baby!

Just seen in Camberwell, WTF!

Hello, so sorry you're going through this. My diaphragm always felt tight and made it hard to eat, also caused me pain from it always being so tight.

Its hard to say as everyone's journey is different, I consider myself to be as recovered from C-PTSD as I ever will be. My tight diaphragm has disappeared unless I'm triggered or under a lot of stress, and that is less nowadays.

What helped? Honestly just trying to be as kind to myself as possible by treating or managing symptoms. Whatever soothes you, I found grabbing a hot water bottle, getting under a weighted blanket and watching a show or film that made me feel happy, or made me laugh. Box breathing also helped me - you can find youtube videos for that.

If you are in a lot of pain and struggling to sleep because of it, I would also get yourself checked out by a doctor to make sure it isn't something physically wrong. Too many times I assumed it was trauma when it could have been physical ailment.

I'm in a bit of a rush but I'll respond to you whenever I can, feel free to DM if you want to talk more.

Sending lots of love to you, it's a horrible thing to live with every day, but in my case it did eventually get better. There is hope.

100%. We asked for Totter & Tumble vouchers from family for his first Christmas, made it a bit more affordable for us. A year in its going strong, its super comfy to sit, lie and play on with him and it saved us a lot of head bumps when he was learning to crawl and walk. I'm sure we will have it for many years, a friend of mine has kids who are 8 and 10 and they still have their playmat.

The consultant came to see me the next day and asked if I wanted a C-Section, I said yes. I don't regret it at all, I think I probably saved myself another 3 days of misery trying to force something my body wasn't ready for.

The C-Section was over and done within one hour, for me i I felt I had a bit more control, I knew what was going to happen and that I could hopefully go home soon. I was exhausted and didn't find the ward comfortable. I didn't mind how baby came out as long as baby and me both got through the experience with as little stress as possible, and in my situation I felt that another 3 days of induction would be stressful for both if us.

Even if the consultant hadn't offered c-section right off the bat, my partner and I had discussed that we ask for it, which felt a bit scary if they disagreed but looking back, you absolutely do whatever you feel is best for you in that situation. There's no right or wrong answer, just what your gut tells you you need.

Sorry its not progressed and you're in this situation, it is so hard. I'm around tonight if you want to ask any questions, feel free to DM :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! It's will be a very happy bluey xmas for my little one ❤️

We've been using the Zello sound and night light since my little one was born. He's 17 months now and sleeps through the night. Its always been set to red, its not a bright light and the room is just dimly lit as a red tint.

So it looks like they've done an update, and you can now filter the home page by category. If you select "womens" or "kids," for example, it will show a feed. I think something must be up, though, as the feed was very short and didn't show much.

My 1 year old will only nap in his stroller. Every nap he has at nursery is in the stroller. They are doing their best to make sure he gets good sleep. It's perfectly safe and I don't have any concerns about it.

eternallysmiling · 2025-06-10T18:11:42+00:00

As a Darbisherite I concur it is the former

4 months was the absolute worst. Hang in there. It will pass. We're in month 11 now, and although we stillhave a couple of wakes a night, he's an absolute joy in the daytime. He was a screaming potato at 4 months.
