To the ladies who are in the early stages of your pregnancies,⁠

I know you waited months or years for this moment and are dealing with mixed feelings at best.⁠

It’s okay not to know how to feel, or to have those feelings change over time.⁠

Please be gentle with yourself as your coping strategies may change as your feelings do. ⁠

And remember, the strength and tenacity you used to get here will be part of the plan for moving forward.⁠

I am sending lots of soothing energy your way! 💗⁠

We had a reassurance scan at 14 weeks 5 days today. (Thankfully all was ok) ❤ .

We have been lucky enough to have had them every 1 – 2 weeks throughout our pregnancy so far (from 6 weeks), and although Mike wasn’t allowed into the hospital with me this time, I wanted to say I am extremely grateful.

Grateful that we were allowed one last reassurance scan. One last face to face meeting with our recurrent miscarriage consultant. One more check of our meds before embarking on the next stage of our pregnancy with less face to face support.

Our consultant said to me today “I am so glad you are on this side of all of this. There are women who have just found out they are pregnant after loss, and will be unable to access reassurance scans due to NHS staff being needed elsewhere in the hospital” .

Our NHS staff are working around the clock, but it is inevitable that they will be called to help fight the Coronavirus pandemic. With resources already stretched, they are just unable to continue to offer reassurance scans for the foreseeable future.

Although this is a completely understandable and necessary step for the NHS to take, the thought that women and their partners are facing the complete unknown in the early stages of their pregnancy is heartbreaking. I struggled to go longer than a week without a recurrent miscarriage scan, and I found they massively helped me manage my anxiety, and allowed me to breathe easy for a little while.

There’s no easy way around this, but there is help out there if you find yourself in this position.

Some amazing resources include:

@miscarriageassociation
@peanut

Speak to their midwives via email or phone call. Search for their Facebook support groups. Call your EPAU if you have ANY concerns. You can get through this. It will be hard being in the dark, but you can do it.

Sending you all a pocket hug ❤ .

Officially 8 weeks as of today🤰

I love the little grape so much already 😭 It’s so early but my body has already started going through some crazy, big changes. Hair grows super fast (and in weird places) nails are growing longer, day time naps are a regular thing and of course the hormones 😂😂
I feel like things are finally settling down (symptom wise) and I am truly able to enjoy this process.

Even with all the changes my heart is so grateful I can’t wait to be a Mama ✨♥️ .

Such a lovely #walk after a long day at the office. Great to get out, stretch my legs and get fresh air in my lungs. Coming up to #14weekspregnant and bump is definitely starting to pop! By the time I see people post #socialdistancing #smallbabybump will definitely be on show! Trying to keep active and get at least #10000steps in a day

How’s everyone else doing with #isolation?

IN THE BEGINNING
My twins yolk sac. This was before the twins were really developed, one was moving along and older as you can see just a little spike lol. but there little sacs were there. They were in two different sacs. I had no clue until months later. I felt their two little heart beats but didn’t want to believe it. Looking over all my scans today made me smile to know God protects and avenges me and he has the last laugh. I cover up my personal information.
