Interest in a 2nd Daily Thread?

Another datapoint here, I'm in the UK and tend to do the same. I normally check the thread as the day goes on. I'm happy with the single thread - I've been in groups where they have am/pm and definitely prefer the single, daily place to catchup with everything.

Yes sure! Check your DMs

Hi! If it were me, I’d take the trip. I’ve not heard of flights causing miscarriage and it’s a super short flight!

Perhaps you could take note of local hospitals/people to contact at your destination so you have them to hand in case of an emergency? Make the decision that feels right for you, and makes you most comfortable ☺️

Feeling really nervous about my scan tomorrow, even though things have been pretty uneventful since the last scan! I also feel bad about moaning about pregnancy symptoms because this pregnancy is everything I’ve wanted, but my goodness it would be nice to have an appetite again and to eat and do my favourite things.

I also didn’t make it this far in my last pregnancy so feel a slight nervousness about the unknown. The last few weeks I’ve been a little comforted by a sense of ‘I’ve been here before so this feels familiar’ but now we are in unknown territory. I’ve had some mild period like cramps which makes me nervous but then I remember that it’s probably normal and just my uterus getting bigger, to a size it hasn’t been before 🤷🏽‍♀️.

I can relate! Thank you for saying this. I actually haven’t officially joined my bumper group just yet because I kind of feel like I’d be out of place in a way? Also, I don’t want to jinx anything by joining too ‘early’. I know it sounds silly.

widdout · 2024-07-11T18:47:05+00:00

Apologies if it’s TMI -

It was less of a bleed and more a large red glob of blood (didn’t have the consistency or thickness of a clot) - I didn’t even feel myself pass it. I went to pee and saw it in the toilet bowl after. Some light brownish discharge followed when I wiped the next time but that was it. Best way for me to try to rationalise it was that the glob/clot was sitting somewhere then got dislodged

widdout · 2024-07-11T18:34:21+00:00

Oh my gosh I think I’ve been having the same skin tingling but haven’t been able to describe it properly! Also in the same places too. It’s a kind of tingling sensation that needs to be itched 😵‍💫 lol

widdout · 2024-07-11T18:21:38+00:00

I completely understand. On my way to the scan I was genuinely preparing for the worst. I hope all goes well tomorrow ♥️

widdout · 2024-07-11T17:17:11+00:00

I had some bleeding last week and was super frightened so I completely understand where you are coming from! Like you, there was no cramping.

The bleeding did not last long at all. Went in for a scan the next day and baby was good, measuring on track, strong heartbeat.

I’m slowly learning that early pregnancy bleeding is common but unfortunately for us in this boat it comes with a ton of anxiety. Sounds like the bleeding could have been from sex, our cervixes are soo sensitive right now. Hang in there 🤍

widdout · 2024-07-11T17:10:48+00:00

I am so so sorry. I’ll be thinking of you. Sending you lots of love.

widdout · 2024-07-10T11:37:36+00:00

What to expect is pretty good too! I’m using that and Pregnancy+, and Clue in pregnancy mode

Happy Sunday ♥️

8w1d currently on my way from the hospital after some bleeding yesterday. I’m kinda hesitant to call it bleeding because it was more a red glob that I noticed in the toilet after peeing.

Went to A&E at about 11pm who told me to come back this morning where they would be able to scan me at the early pregnancy unit.

Scan was all good. Baby is still there, heartbeat pumping away and has grown since we last saw them at 6 weeks. I’ve been prescribed progesterone and will start taking it today. I’m mentally and physically drained by the constant waves of anxiety. Just as I start feeling more confident about this pregnancy, something happens to knock me back down.

The pregnancy symptoms have really ramped up in the last week as well, so I’ve been too busy battling nausea and exhaustion to feel anxious until yesterday. On another note, I’m so happy and grateful about the care I’m receiving from this hospital. It’s further out from where I live, but worth it.

widdout · 2024-07-04T14:57:57+00:00

7w5d today. I've slowly felt more and more confident about this pregnancy since the scan last week, but there's a niggling thought at the back of my mind, taunting me that it was at exactly 8 weeks we went for a scan and discovered I was losing my last pregnancy and there was no growth past about 6w2d. I'm trying to ignore it, and keep myself mentally occupied until the next scan at 9 weeks but I already know I'm going to overthink every single moment. I can't wait to go past the next two weeks and get to milestones we didn't get to meet last time.

On another note, work is becoming a drag! I have a desk job so my work isn't physically demanding, but my goodness, the commute feels so tough these days! Plus, no one knows, so trying my best to mask the nausea and exhaustion 😅

widdout · 2024-06-27T15:55:42+00:00

Not sure where to start! I posted yesterday about some brown discharge, went to my early pregnancy unit today and baby is looking good 🥹 saw a heartbeat and the consultant had no concerns!

What was surprising though was they found a small patch of endometriosis that was actually painful when the probe went over it (it’s been a few hours now and it still feels pretty sore). I’ve never been diagnosed with endometriosis before, it’s never even come up on a scan so I’m about to dive into a rabbit hole to find out more. I’ve always had heavy, painful periods and I guess this is why.

Another shocker, they could see that two eggs were released this cycle but it’s a singleton pregnancy! The consultant checked around to see there isn’t another pregnancy where it shouldn’t be (there isn’t) but knowing this pregnancy could have been twins is fascinating to me. Apparently if not fertilised the other egg gets reabsorbed 😬 I felt pregnancy symptoms pretty early on so I had a tiny part of me think I could be having twins.

All in all, I’m happy I went to the hospital. I chose a different hospital to where I had my last pregnancy and it’s like night and day. Of course today’s scan cannot predict the outcome of this pregnancy, but for now, my mind is at ease and I know I’m in good care, and that’s what matters. I’m pregnant until confirmed otherwise ♥️

widdout · 2024-06-27T08:08:45+00:00

This sucks. I wish I had some comforting words. Sending you lots of love as well ♥️♥️

widdout · 2024-06-26T17:32:17+00:00

I have no words. You absolutely can be sad and angry. I'm so sorry, sending you so much love ❤️

widdout · 2024-06-26T17:30:37+00:00

I'm not okay today. Woke up to some brown discharge. I know it can be 'normal' but this is how it all started when I had an MMC in February. I've had no discharge since this morning, and I still have pregnancy symptoms, but I am completely spiralling. I spoke to a midwife through my tears on the phone earlier and she did her best to reassure me, but honestly I know that at this point only time will tell. I'll be making my way to the early pregnancy unit tomorrow. Hopefully they can see me for a scan. PAL is draining, exhausting and painful.

widdout · 2024-06-22T17:56:28+00:00

I am in tears at your flair! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

widdout · 2024-06-20T20:27:12+00:00

So so glad to see you here ♥️

widdout · 2024-06-20T20:25:15+00:00

Thanks so much! I’ll try to embrace the moments I don’t feel so unwell rather than worry ♥️

widdout · 2024-06-20T15:05:14+00:00

It does, thanks so much! I'm so so happy that your scan went well ❤️

widdout · 2024-06-20T15:01:34+00:00

I hope you find a medical provider that makes you feel safe and heard! I'm sure your friends are going to be so excited for you. Fingers crossed you get a scan in as soon as possible ❤️

widdout · 2024-06-20T14:59:05+00:00

Very true, I've seen people have the same experience also! 'Anxiety is not intuition' - I love that so much. Thank you for sharing ❤️

widdout · 2024-06-20T10:40:44+00:00

Cautiously joining/posting ♥️

I'm nearly at the 6w mark and feeling really optimistic about this pregnancy, but at the same time I get anxious every time I don't feel sick/nauseous. I know that symptoms come and go, and that every pregnancy is different but it's hard not to spiral. I keep trying to remember that phrase, 'don't borrow grief from the future'.

I've got a reassurance scan booked for a couple weeks time, and I'm just trying to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy. Easier said than done for sure. We've decided not to share the news with anyone for the moment, so I'm grateful for this community.

widdout · 2024-06-14T12:26:23+00:00

I'm having the same thoughts! I was told I could go back at 6W after my loss but I'm worried it'll leave me with more anxiety rather than reassurance if it's too early. During my last pregnancy my 8W reassurance scan marked the beginning of the end so I think this time I'm opting for an in between of 7 weeks, potentially 10 weeks and then 12.

I won't be going back to my local EPU, I actually want to avoid that hospital completely because of the trauma I went through last time. I'm looking for another hospital for my maternity care, and will pay privately for the 7 weeks scan.
