Are you doing anything differently this time?

[grenouille]

I'm probably not the only one who is totally paranoid?

I had two MCs and they won't do tests before 3. They did some testing though, mostly for things I brought up (at some point I thought I might have diabetes, my doctor also checked my thyroid... I asked about my progesterone). No problems were found.

This time, I'm mostly making sure I'm drinking lots of water. I'm also not drinking coffee (I don't even like the taste anymore), but I'll drink a glass of coke maybe once a week, and I eat chocolate on occasion. I've cut down on junk food a lot (even though all I feel like eating now is breaded chicken filet!)

Are you doing anything differently this time?

 

[dsbeH]

wondering the same thing. its so easy to think that there MUST be some more tests to run or foods to cut out, but everyone keeps saying theres no way to prevent MC if its going to happen. is that true though?

I started taking baby asprin. I don't know if it will help or not, but if it is autoimmune/ clotting that's what the MFM said we would do (and possibly a couple of other things).

I am trying to stay positive this time and I have really been focusing on not stressing out. Mostly I am just trying to eat healthy, since I tend to gain weight easily while pregnant and I don't want to see that weight stick around. I am also drinking lots of water.

Doctor has added a B6, B12, and frolic acid supplement on top of my prenatal now. He said it could help in some autoimmune cases.

Well i had 3 mcs 10 years ago and was never tested because they said i was too young ( I was already 22) Then I had a mc at the end of Jan and the doctor where the cruise line I worked for sent me said it was obvious to him I didn't produce enough progesterone and to remember that next time i got pregnant... I got pregnant on my next cycle

First of all I left my job, I am a casino dealer and with all the smoke plus super long hours you work on a cruise ship that was the best thing to do.

Then I went to a private Ob and she immediately put me on 200 mg of progesterone +5mg of prednisolone + 100 mg of baby aspirin a day oh! and my vitamins of course.

So I just stay at home and try to relax, lol I've been working nonstop since I was 18 so I'm not sure if I'm relaxin much oh! and also this time I'm broke but baby is doing great so far

Happy and healthy pregnancy hun

I am watching where I walk cause I tend to trip over things when preg.

And I am not stressing as much.

And not trying to overeat.

My first pregnancy which ended in MC at 11 weeks.. I took my vitamins, cut out caffeine and chocolate completely and it was a MC. This time I have relaxed alot, I have two cups of coffee a day plus chocolate, I eat what I fancy (except pate etc). I honestly think if its meant to be, it does not matter what you do. Just relax and rest when you can

 

[Viperbunny]

I am relaxing more. I made it to 29 weeks and I got to have my little girl in my life for 6 days. I know it was nothing I did (even though I will always feel guilty for passing down my bad genes). This time around I just want to enjoy what I have when I have it. It is difficult because very few people know, mostly because we don't want to tell them until testing comes back. I feel like not being able to share it is bad because I am happy and I want to shout it from the roof tops, but sharing it led to a going through a very private loss very publicly last time. My mom doesn't know and I worry she would be too negative because she was so devastated to lose her first and only grandchild. At the same time I feel robbed not to share it. I don't know how I will last until July, but I am trying to respect my husband's wishes and I don't completely disagree with him. But at six week and getting sick every day I don't know how much longer I can keep this in.

Way more relaxed this time. Last time I did everything by the book. This time mainly because of ms I havent exercised, I eat what my body allows ( it's repelling everything healthy so mainly fizzy drink and bread), and spend a lot of time in bed or on the sofa just chilling! I'm also trying not to wish my pregnancy away.... Like living for scan days or midwife check up. Also I'm trying to think more positive.

Hi girls

I lost my boy in Feb this year and in few months time I will be trying for my rainbow baby. Straight after my loss I started to be more healthy, I don't drink coffee cos I noticed that my heart is racing for some time after I drink it (and it was only 1 coffee per day!). Instead I drink normal tea and non coffeine teas, no coke and fizzy drinks any more. Trying to take homemade dinners to work. Im taking Pregnacare Conception every day. Im not taking any painkillers apart of Paracetamol and it's only if I need to take it. Most of all, I am not stressing myself so much now and taking life easy. I hope all these good things I am doing now will be a good base for my future pregnancy.

Take care of yourselves ladies and I wish you all the best
