Hi there,
I'm new here.
found out I was pregnant with my 3rd child in November last year. The baby was much wanted and we were thrilled.
I got to 9 weeks exactly on 13th december and was bleeding lightly first thing in the morning. It got heavier and heavier and more painful. After a scan it showed baby stopped growing between 7.5 to 8 weeks and had no heartbeat, it had also slid down the uterus and was getting ready to leave
I miscarried naturally and it only went on for a week with no need for d&c.
It was a horrible time and we were gutted beyond belief.
Christmas was just round the corner and it was a very tough time for us.
It was my first mc. I already have 2 perfect children both perfectly healthy pregnancies and I am only in my twenties. I got no explanation or reason for the mc, I just felt robbed and like the world had ended.
Initially we wanted to try again immediately without waiting for first af, so we had a few goes over xmas, then the start of the new year.
But then I decided to wait and get fit first- get some weight off and get healthy. Maybe try again in March time.
So I did a test last week to make sure I wasn't pg before I embarked on my fitness regime. It was neg after a few mins so I chucked it in the drawer and forgot it existed.
Since then I have worked out like a trooper, smoked cigarettes, drank wine, took slimming pills- everything I shouldn't do.
I felt I had finally got back on track and was focused on getting slimmer- I have a black tie event in february you see so I've been so excited looking at glam dresses.
Anyway this evening I looked in the drawer for some paper to write a shopping list and came across the test I did last week- it was positive!
At first I thought it could be an evap line but it was pink and evap lines are colourless.
So I sent DH straight out for 2 tests.
I had been drinking tons of water throughout the day and peeing loads so I did a very small sample in a pot.
It came up positive straight away- a big fat pink line.
I'm happy but also confused. I don't know any dates- only the mc date and I'm worried because of everything I've done- the pills, the workouts.
Also, I'm worried people may think we're stupid for getting pregnant so quick.
So basically just looking for any reassurance from anyone who may know of someone who has been in a similar position?
I'm going to see gp first thing in the morning for advice but I don't know what to expect from here. Will there be more care? An earlier scan?
Above all, what if I miscarry again?
Another mc would kill me I think. I never bargained on what a terrible experience it is for women till it happened to me.
Any advice welcome xx
