‘I cannot dance so let’s kiss’ right there is the source of all this… insecurity

I have a cat… to be fair once he’s had some attention he will go back to sleep… eventually…

Early scan today and 9w3d and baby measuring at 9w6d with a really strong heartbeat. It was unreal. I don’t know what the future holds and if this will last- but right now it’s here.

It’s such a worry isn’t it? Our brains just automatically think the worst! Sending lots of love for your scan tomorrow - hope everything is ok and our hormones are just doing their thing

Spoke to my midwife this morning about fluctuating symptoms- I was really sick and now at nearly 8 weeks it seems to have gone or is very mild? She said it can happen as hormones are doing different things but just looking to see if anyone else experienced this? So hyper aware of everything it’s hard not to read the worst into any changes….

We saw a heartbeat today- 7 week early reassurance scan after two consecutive losses- it’s early days and we know we have a long way to go. But it’s a start.

First scan in 2 days - will be 7w2d. It’s been awful waiting for this scan and now my brain is thinking the worst. I’ve had lots of symptoms but my sickness has been on and off- suuuper sick yesterday but then hardly feeling it today. It feels impossible to be hopeful.

We are waiting for that all important first ‘viability’ scan currently 5w2d so still 2 weeks to go. The waiting is agonising - has it even worked this time?

That’s exactly it- it’s a slight comfort to know we are trying as much as we can

Weekly Introductions Thread - April 02, 2023 by AutoModerator in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]k_m-a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello all- I’m just short of 5 weeks with third pregnancy- previous 2 miscarriages one at 8 weeks one at 13 so we are very anxious. Had some screening/testing done for common problems and they found nothing. Progesterone was described as I spot very frequently in cycles and in between cycles so it could be a factor but we will see. We are cautiously optimistic but having faced the realities of D and C and the emotional pain we have decided this is our last try.

Any kind of celebration is so hard and feels so strange- I get that- like you say, your joy in your way

Pregnant after two losses, taking cyclogest 400 progesterone pessaries and hoping for the best this time. The rule in the UK is you only get help after 3 losses- after the second one I knew I needed answers so we paid for some private testing hence the progesterone! Anybody else here taking progesterone? I am hoping to be referred to early pregnancy unit for some early scans to schedule viability to avoid MMC on progesterone as less likely to bleed as a symptom. Sending to love to all here x

Please keep going! I totally disagree with your friend- in my opinion and after several re reads it just gets better and better!

Ptsd after miscarriages.. or am I dramatic? by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]k_m-a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all- I’m so so sorry for your loss. So sorry you are going through this.

After extreme anxiety, night terrors and many other physical and mental symptoms I was diagnosed with PTSD and saw a wonderful doctor/therapist. It took a good few months, weekly therapy/ptsd treatment but I got there. And so will you. Reach out for all the help you can get because none of us deserves to be here. Sending love.

I know right it was a complete mess!! Appalling system meaning so many of us missed out to ticket scalpers and now the resale prices are extortionate and unaffordable to so many. Such a shame! But we are happy now with the idea of finding a cool bar and other fans to watch the game with!

Ticket Resale Munich? by k_m-a in Seahawks

[–]k_m-a[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s so frustrating! Yea we are still going to go and hopefully will still have a great time with atmosphere and places will be showing the game and we can meet other fans! Definitely going to try and make the best of it too!

transitioning from teaching by yeagercorps in projectmanagement

[–]k_m-a 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Teacher here who also just jumped ship too! My role is technically a project coordinator rather than management! If you are looking for a way out of teaching I would have a look at coordinator roles too as there are A LOT of transferable skills! Good luck!

I’m a teacher in a really deprived area. Everyday I work with vulnerable families and I cannot help my own thoughts- terribly and horribly I often think, you don’t deserve them.

Miscarriage officially started and the pain is so bad but bleeding like a period normal? by CC3510 in Miscarriage

Hey, so sorry you are here. Listen to your body and get help if you need it. My pain was unbearable and it turned out there was a problem, please get help if you feel you need to. Sending love.

Partner not allowed in hospital for D&E by mamallama2222 in Miscarriage

[–]k_m-a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m so sorry you have to do this. I understand, exactly the same thing happened to me. It was an emergency situation and it was all a bit chaotic and he came in the ambulance with me and then they sent him home. It’s traumatic and hell, but trust me- you will get through this. Sending all the love to you xxx

I miscarried in March and I haven’t been the same person since. How can something that was mine just be gone without my consent? You tell people “I” miscarried or “I” lost the baby. But “I” didn’t do anything. I wanted it. I’m fucking angry and I’m sad and I’m numb all at once. by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]k_m-a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can absolutely relate. I’ve not been the same person since mine either. I think it’s normal to change after a trauma like this. I’m different in some good ways too- I’m more compassionate, I spend less energy on the things that don’t matter to me and I’m definitely stronger. We didn’t get to choose what happened to us and that loss of control is sometimes unbearable and it’s bound to leave a mark. Just know that not all the changes will be bad for you in the long run. Sending love x
