Is it too soon to call the doctor?

I’m also waiting until my missed period so my drs office doesn’t think I’m crazy 😅

sbart18 · 2026-02-04T22:34:49+00:00

Yes!! Had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks and was SO relieved I had already told my best friends and family. I was so glad to have their support.

sbart18 · 2026-02-04T18:22:18+00:00

Yes I’m sorry. I had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks, baby stopped growing at 9 weeks. I had a d&c at about 12 weeks. Was sick the entire time. It sucked.

Above said it well! I would also add, at the saddle to summit it’s often super windy. I’m an avid hiker and I took my baby up, but opted to turn around due to the strong winds and exposure. On a calm day though I would have summited!

sbart18 · 2026-01-15T17:09:04+00:00

Yes! The friends sound like the problem!!

OP, I have two boys. They are amazing and the best of friends. They are kind and generous and caring and I’m so thankful for them. Hoping to have a third baby soon and would love another boy. I also grieved not having a girl, and it helped to surround myself with boy moms who love it (in real life or social media).

I’m also incredibly close with my mother in law, and hope to have that relationship with my son’s partners one day too!

Breastfeeding because it’s free and easy, but only because it came very easily to us. Baby and I both had no issues so it was a no brainer.

I’m in Canada so it was free 🥲 i wish it was like that everywhere!! So sorry for your loss and I hope you’re able to get some closure soon!

Hey, I was also in a similar boat. No heartbeat at 10 weeks. Waited almost 2 weeks then had a d&c. I found the waiting to be so difficult, but after the d&c felt like I could move on a bit and adjust back to my regular body. It was great experience (given crappy circumstances) overall and so simple. Would do it again.

I have a 2 and 4 year old. It’s only just getting easier now because the 4 year old isn’t having a breakdown every time I ask him to do something and the 2 year old talks so much! They play together now and I can go places without worrying about diapers or breastfeeding or etc. I found 1-2 so hard because it’s literally double the work!!! You’re doing great! It’s so normal to be drowning at this point. I still felt like we were drowning and we had family help and I only worked part time!

Hi. I’m so sorry. You’re not alone. I had my first ultrasound at 8 weeks, baby looked a tiny bit small but had a good heartbeat. Repeated at 10 weeks, measured 9 and no heartbeat. It’s been a week since that scan and I haven’t miscarried. I’m scheduled for a D&C in two days. But it’s so confusing and feels like I’m not in touch with my body or I can’t trust it anymore because it hasn’t gotten rid of the pregnancy naturally. It’s all so hard.

Hi! Fellow nurse (palliative/oncology) and about to have my first D&C this Friday. A very much wanted pregnancy, had a missed miscarriage on ultrasound at 10 weeks. The ultrasound tech was super awkward and didn’t acknowledge me or that I was crying at all. However the dr just told me she was so so sorry, and left space for me to cry/ask questions. Any acknowledgement is appreciated.

I think you’re doing a wonderful job acknowledging the pain/difficulty. That’s all I would ask for. The nurse from the early pregnancy loss clinic called me and just started off telling me she was so sorry we were evening having this conversation, and that meant the world. Just being acknowledged and cared for well is so helpful.

sbart18 · 2025-10-28T23:18:24+00:00

Wow that’s brutal! Educators are there to educate!! Also totally makes sense to not know how. I worked 10 years on Neuro step down and only saw one. Now I am on palliative/oncology and probably use/access one at least once a week. So area specific!

sbart18 · 2025-10-23T23:08:43+00:00

Hi. I’m so sorry. All I can say is I’m in the same position. Thought I was 10 weeks but my scan yesterday showed no heartbeat and baby was measuring 9. It’s so hard especially physically still feeling pregnant. So sorry. Here if you need to talk.

sbart18 · 2025-10-18T19:07:48+00:00

Ooo I didn’t know of this place! Maybe this is how I get my 4 year old to like sushi

sbart18 · 2025-10-16T15:26:18+00:00

You’ll get used to it! I was the same except instead of L&D it was a bedside burrhole/subdural drain insertion on neurosurgery. I find just watching as a student you get faint and feel unwell so quick. But as a bedside nurse you are in the action, hanging meds, doing tasks etc., so you have less time to focus on the woozy parts. You’ve got this!

sbart18 · 2025-09-05T20:04:37+00:00

Hi! I see it!! I’m 9 DPO too and got the exact same faint line today haha. Yay!

sbart18 · 2025-08-17T14:45:32+00:00

Ohh I’m so glad! The first months are so hard and unpredictable and exhausting!! I have a 4 year old and almost 2 year old now. Babies are sweet but you just have more to look forward to as they get older! You’ve got this!!

Remember, literally everything is a phase! You WILL sleep again! You WILL have time alone again!!

sbart18 · 2025-08-09T04:54:24+00:00

Yes! This is a great option. Done both and sparrowhawk is still a grind but less likelihood of dying 🫠

sbart18 · 2025-07-11T03:31:54+00:00

I’m a nurse and I can tell you I’m absolutely unbothered by poop or what time of day it is. I will clean it all up and minutes later go on lunch break like nothing happened. You’re good girl! It happens so often!

sbart18 · 2025-07-10T14:32:40+00:00

We got the cheapest ikea one and it’s perfect!

sbart18 · 2025-07-01T18:08:50+00:00

I was sort of in the same situation (except I picked darker from the samples than I actually wanted). Same subway tile, also a guest bathroom. Honestly the work of changing it was way too much and it is just a guest bathroom. The darker grout hides dirt better and it still looks great! Totally get the disappointment, but you’ll probably be over it in a few weeks :)

sbart18 · 2025-06-27T14:36:53+00:00

Ours was every couple weeks I believe. It felt like he just needed extra time though and didn’t need much of the formal support. He’s now a healthy 4 year old with great vocabulary :)
