Hiya, I find myself here again, this is my second pregnancy since my ectopic in October where my tube was removed. I’m Dec I had an early miscarriage. We took a break from trying & I’ve just found out so 4wkd 3d. I can’t bring myself to even be think about it being okay or be excited. I’m sure a familiar feeling to a lot. I’ve been trying my best just not to think, but I’ve had some cramping, bloating and some lower back ache and it’s just sent me spiralling. Other than my boobs bit full/look different no symptoms which worries me but it’s early. I know I’ve got to just wait until they scan but I really dread those words ‘there nothing in your uterus’ any tips be great? My biggest fear of course is another ectopic so I’m on hyper alert for symptoms but then worry I’m stressing myself!
Does anyone have any good coping mechanisms for during this time or any wisdom to impart?
Thanks ladies.
Dear Soph,
Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy. I really wish i had a way to speed up time for you.
I remember I just tried to keep my mind as busy as possible. I met up with lots of friends, read books, went through quite a few light hearted boxsets in an evening. Anything to distract my brain from the worry.
Don’t forget to book in for your early pregnancy scan at around 6weeks and I will send lots of positive thoughts your way.
Best wishes,
Karen x

Thanks Karen, I’m doing my best to keep distracted and also not google every time I get a twinge or pain or ache. It’s so hard, I’m really hoping this time it’s going to be okay.
