Cautiously coming in

[sammie13s]

So iv hit my second trimester. This is a very testing time for me. I'm high risk. I had my daughter by emergency section at 29 weeks and she sadly died at 9 days old. Then I was induced with my son at 29 weeks who was stillborn. I have lupus. So my body attacks itself and causes inflammation in my placenta which cause severe growth restriction. I'm on so much medication at the moment. Things tend to slow down between 16 and 22 weeks. I'll be having regular scans on my placenta from 16 weeks. Praying this medication has some impact. I find myself not wanting to get excited as I know there's a chance this won't end well. I'm due a scan on the baby tomorrow at st marys in Manchester to measure the baby. It's a very frightening time for me. To top it off I'm very anxious all the time. Panic attacks, over active mind ECT. So iv been put on medication for that which I'm finding no benefit from as of yet. Things are very hard at the minute. I'm hoping I can start to feel better and begin to enjoy my pregnancy sooner rather than later x

I'm so sorry for your loss of your daughter and son.
I'll be praying for you that your medication is helpful and your baby is healthy
It makes total sense that you are anxious with all that you have been through.

Sammie I wish you all the best. I have lupus sle too. Only got discovered after my pregnancy. Dr basically said its risky getting pregnant again. So although I would have liked a 2nd child the thought of the pregnancy and birth is off putting. Your a brave lass. Just make sure you don't get too stressed, as I find that triggers a flares. X
