Category: What Is The Best Pregnancy Test?

Pregnancy comes with a lot of choices and decisions. Our Early Pregnancy classes are a great opportunity to “try before you buy”, in case you were thinking of doing a more comprehensive antenatal course later in your pregnancy, and weren’t sure what your options were in West Oxon. Early Pregnancy Class (up to 26 weeks), held the first Monday of the month, 7pm in Burford http://www.birthbabybalance.co.uk/ #birthbabybalance #earlypregnancy #pregnant #antenatalcourse #nct

EARLY PREGNANCY PAIN & BLEEDING
_
🔺Bleeding and/or pain in the first 3 months of pregnancy is common and does not always mean there is a problem and many women go on to have a healthy baby. However, if you experience any of these symptoms it is important you get medical help from your midwife, GP or local hospital as it may be a sign of potential pregnancy complications.
🔺There can be several causes and a healthcare professional will take a full history from you, and may recommend a speculum/vaginal examination, blood tests and/or an ultrasound scan to check on your pregnancy.
🔺If you have pain or bleeding but an ultrasound scan confirms your pregnancy is okay this is termed a Threatened Miscarriage and you will be advised to monitor your symptoms and report any changes.
🔺Sadly, sometimes pain and bleeding can be the sign of an early miscarriage. Early miscarriage can affect 1 in 4 women and in most cases it is not possible to give a reason. Most couples will go on to have a successful pregnancy in the future.
🔺Unfortunately, 1 in 90 pregnancies grow outside of the womb. This is called an ectopic pregnancy and this condition may also present with pain and/or bleeding. An ectopic pregnancy can be more serious to your health and is usually diagnosed after you have had an ultrasound scan.
🔺Sometimes, it is not possible to determine exactly what is going on at your first appointment with a healthcare professional and they may recommend repeat blood tests or ultrasound scans to monitor your progress and symptoms over a period of days or weeks.
🔺Whatever the cause you should feel able to ask questions and if you need more information the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Patient Info leaflets can be very useful.

You hear them from friends, family members, strangers at the grocery store. Everyone wants to share their story to relate to others and feel valued, sharing is healing but unfortunately birth trauma is very common. Mamas, I encourage you to be very mindful of what you receive during pregnancy. If someone starts to share a horror story with you, gently ask them if they will wait until after your baby arrives. It’s ok to say you don’t want those stories in your head as you prepare to birth your baby. If it’s a stranger you will never see again remember your well being and peace of mind through pregnancy is more important than hurting someone’s feelings. Every mother deserves to tell her story in a safe space. Find a heart centered mothers group or sharing circle to share and be witnessed but PLEASE STOP TELLING PREGNANT WOMEN HORROR STORIES. #positivepregnancy #hypnobirthing #changethestory #sacredpregnancy #birthpower #changethenarrative #mindfulpregnancy #doula #southernoregon #hypnobirth #positivemind #storytelling #mindfulness #sharing #motherhood #childbirth #birthstories #nomorehorrorstories #pregnantandpowerful #pregnancyhealth #healthypregnancy #protectyourenergy #birthdoula #advocate #earlypregnancy #peacefulpregnancy #powerfulthoughts #protectyourmind #growingbaby #holdingspace

We’ve had some things growing over here for a few weeks now! This early pregnancy time is so interesting. I don’t know if it’s because I had a chemical pregnancy the cycle before this or if everyone feels this way but I have been so worried that there is not actually anything growing in there. And spotting can be a normal part of pregnancy, especially this early, but it certainly doesn’t bring any peace of mind! Greg keeps reminding me that 1- I haven’t gotten my period 2- my hcg levels were great 3- I’m not having any painful cramps so 4- everything is probably just fine! I know he is right but it can be hard to really trust that deep down.

I don’t want your baby. I want mine.
.
There are 2 things that happen when you have a miscarriage.
.
1. Everybody apologises to you. If you mention it in passing or somebody ‘accidentally talks about pregnancy’ in front of you, they say sorry immediately and recoil from the conversation.
.
2. People assume they can’t tell you about their pregnancy because they don’t want to upset you.
.
The latter is the most difficult to deal with. Some of my best friends have had to say “I’m sorry to upset you but I’m pregnant” or tell my Husband so that he can “break it to me gently”.
.
I have had 4 miscarriages and I will feel those losses for the rest of my life. Those losses have changed me as a person, reshaped my values and taught me how to cope with grief. Not one of those miscarriages has taken away my ability to be overwhelmingly, outrageously, over the moon for you and your pregnancy.
.
If I cry, I am not crying for your pregnancy, I am simply remembering mine. I WANT you to tell me – I want to shed a tear and hug you and tell you how excited I am. I mean it – every single bit of that excitement. But when you DON’T tell me… I feel like I have something to be ashamed of. I feel like in losing my babies I have also lost a sense of the friendship I once had with you and that brings me to tears for a different reason.
.
I’ve lost babies but I don’t want yours, I’ll happily wait for mine.
