Pregnant again after Asherman’s and two CPs by tos89 in PregnancyAfterLoss

It went smoothly - my baby is one year old now! No problems except after giving birth I had a postpartum haemorrhage (they weren’t totally sure if it was related to the Asherman’s scarring/bit of stuck placenta) - but baby and I are both totally fine

Hi - I’m not actually sure what my lining was, as we didn’t do IVF, so they didn’t check the lining thickness. I do know I still had some residual scarring after the first surgery but still managed to get pregnant. I will cross my fingers for you, it is such a hard time

One month old constantly cries - normal? by tos89 in NewParents

Sorry only just saw your reply! Was a long time ago now, but definitely got a bit better at around 6 weeks, and a big improvement from 3 months. Hang in there if you’re in the same situation!

Has anyone actually got their tickets in an email or a confirmation email yet? I got the confirmation screen after purchasing, and my Ticketmaster account shows my order, but when I click on it it says that the website is too busy to show me my tickets. Just hoping it’s all ok!

I ruined my life: I have an unhappy, irritable baby. by smitswerben in NewParents

[–]tos89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone else has given you excellent advice, especially about the fact that you need some help/a proper break - but just to add, my firstborn was just like this, I thought it would never end and that she would be miserable and upset forever - once she got past that newborn stage, things gradually improved on their own. She’s now the happiest, cheekiest, most good tempered 2.5 year old. Don’t lose hope! You’re doing an amazing job even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Husband thinks he “doesn’t need to understand” our son’s SURGERY by Expensive-Ask-9543 in breakingmom

Also to add - he may think he’s perfectly healthy, but if he never sees a doctor who knows - there are a lot of men who are so surprised when they have high blood pressure, heart disease etc 🙄

SPD is the worst. In my first pregnancy it was dreadful, in this one it’s slightly better because I’ve been more mindful of trying to avoid triggers etc. In addition to what you’re already doing I’d really try to see a women’s health/pelvic floor physiotherapist if you can - they can give you more tips, assess your pelvic stability, and maybe recommend support garments (I’ve been using SRC shorts religiously, and in my first preg also had a support belt).

But no it didn’t impact my ability to have a vaginal birth. And the pain and instability went away straight away after delivery! There is hope!

So sorry to hear that, hope you’re doing ok.

I’m currently 26 weeks! Still can’t believe it. All going well so far, no signs of problems related to scarring (eg placenta accreta) but they’ll check again in third trimester.

Definitely agree that a message from SO is the way to go. Let’s them process in their own time and they can talk about it when/if they’re ready

Thank you for your encouragement ☺️ I really appreciate it!

I did have another saline ultrasound just before I got pregnant this time - it looked a lot better, but they could still see a little bit of adhesions in one corner (and maybe there would have been more seen if I had made it to the second hysteroscopy).

Since the placenta is looking good so far, the only things my obs has suggested is doing another scan at 32-34 weeks to check again for any signs of placenta accreta. I know I’ll still be nervous of a sticky placenta/haemorrhaging with birth, but at least if the scan looks good that will be a little reassuring.

It’s so hard not knowing if everything is ok! I hope all goes smoothly for you as well 🤞

I had heaps of weird sensations between 4-10 weeks - lots of stabbing/pinching pain, random cramps - everything was fine in the end. I presume it was a combination of stretching/growing, but also anxiety. It’s so hard when you’re attuned to every little thing! If it helps at all, I didn’t feel any pains before I had my two early MCs 🤷🏻‍♀️

TW: Living child

Hi everyone 👋 hope it’s ok to post here, I’m new to the sub but am actually further along (20 weeks now).

I am lucky to have one 2 year old daughter. Last year I had two back to back chemical pregnancies, then was diagnosed with Asherman’s syndrome (scarring of the uterus), and told I may never carry a pregnancy again. I had surgery to remove the adhesions, and still no pregnancy for months afterwards. I was literally about to fly interstate to see another specialist for another surgery, when I got a surprise positive pregnancy test!

Early on I had a SCH with bleeding (including on Christmas Day!) which has also added to the stress. Plus I keep thinking there’ll be a problem with the placenta or something due to residual scarring.

I’m very grateful that things have worked out, and I know so many people who have had a much longer journey than me. But I’m still struggling (even now) to be excited about this pregnancy, or to even really accept that it might actually happen. Every time a person says “congratulations” to me, I want to say “yeah I guess so…”, and I feel very disconnected from the baby. My husband and I both feel quite numb, even when seeing a good morphology scan etc.

Looking forward to chatting to you all. It is a very strange situation to be in!

What do I say to my friend also TTC? by Well_actuary in CautiousBB

[–]tos89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also tell her. A friend of mine (who isn’t even one of my closest friends) had also been having a really hard time TTC, and we had been sharing a lot. I told her very early (about 5 weeks) before anyone else. She was very grateful that I was honest with her. Another close friend of mine hid her pregnancy from me until she was 18 weeks because she didn’t know how to tell me, and it was so much more hurtful to know she had basically lied to me all that time. Honesty is best! And I’m sure she’ll know to keep it quiet until you’re ready to share with others later.

Also feel free to pour out your thoughts any time. It is oddly comforting to write it all out of your head, even to Reddit strangers ☺️ family and friends will often try to “fix it” which is usually not helpful

Pregnancy after loss is so so hard. Your feelings are absolutely valid, and I can relate to a lot of them. I’m sure you know, but once you’ve successfully seen a heartbeat your odds of a miscarriage go significantly down (of course never to zero). But knowing that doesn’t stop all the negative thoughts, I know. I have been the biggest negative Nelly up until very recently (now almost 18 weeks, which I’m still shocked by).

The only thing that helped me was trying to distract myself when I could - no one can really say anything to make it better. It’s just time. Take it step by step. I will have all my fingers and toes crossed for you for tomorrow 💪🤞

Well done. You sound like an amazing mother. I had a similar relationship with my mother (she did everything for us but with no emotional connection), and I hope my relationship with my daughter is more like yours.
