After a miscarriage… Link in bio
It’s really difficult to talk about the hard stuff, it’s even harder to talk about the sad stuff.
Since having a miscarriage and becoming a Mum I now know the percentage probability (according to the @nctcharity website) of this happening early on in pregnancy but I didn’t when it happened to us.
It wasn’t until I started to be open about the fact we’d had a miscarriage that I found SO many women I knew who had also experienced miscarriage.
If we were able to speak honestly (if we feel comfortable to), and normalise speaking about it, then other women won’t feel like they are suffering alone.
I’ve been reluctant to talk about our miscarriage because I’ve always felt my pain “didn’t count”. That others have been through “so much worse”. Whilst that is true and I see Mums deal with so much I cannot even imagine, everyone’s pain is valid and everyone should be able to talk about what they’ve been through.
This blog post is about the miscarriage we suffered in early May 2018.
I do understand this can be incredibly painful to talk about, it has been for me, but by saying “We’ve had a miscarriage”, I hope I can help others to feel less alone than I did 💕

Can’t wait to share with you all what I’ve been working on… #fullcirclebirthcollective #gestationaleducation #support #prenatalclass #edmontonprenatalclass #informedchoice #educationmatters #educateyourself #evidencebased #earlypregnancy

An ultrasound can be used for a variety of reasons during pregnancy. They may also be done for nonmedical reasons, such as to produce 3D images for the parents to start bonding with their little one or to determine the gender of the baby.

With Our Early pregnancy ultrasounds you are able to:
* Confirm pregnancy.
* Check the fetal heartbeat.
* Have an estimate of the gestational age of the baby and estimate a due date.
* Check for multiple pregnancies.

Bado kuna haja ya kuongelea hili.
Kuna siku nilienda kumtembelea bi mkubwa wangu kwake.Wakati nafika yeye hakuwepo.Hivyo ilibidi nimsubiri maana alisema asinge kawia.
Basi alivyofika tu baada ya salamu akaanza “Yaani nimetoka kuamua kesi huko, kuna mwanafunzi wa darasa la sita ana ujauzito.” Nikashtuka sana. Mama yangu ni mwanakamati wa shule ya msingi jirani na nyumbani.
Akaendelea “Cha kuhuzunisha zaidi aliyempa mimba ni mwanafunzi wa kidato cha pili katika shule ya Sekondari jirani”
Nikashtuka zaidi.
Yaani ni shida tupu.Mtoto amempa mimba mtoto.”Very tricky”
Masomo haya yanaanzwa kufundishwa mapema sana.Hii yote ni kwa sababu watoto wanatakiwa watambue mapema sana madhara ya vitu hivi.Lakini swali la kujiuliza ni … Kwa nini bado kesi hizi zipo sana?
Walimu mashuleni tuendelee kutia mkazo haswaa tukifika kwenye mada hizo.Lakini wazazi ni wakati sasa umefika ongea na mwanao ingali mapema sana.Hakuna tena haja ya kuwaficha.
Cha msingi tu tutafute maneno na njia sahihi ya kuwafikishia ujumbe.SAFARI YA MALEZI NI NDEFU SANA NA KAMA INGELIKUWA NI SHULE BASI WOTE TUNGEKUWA MAPROFESA NDIO TUWE TUMEHITIMU.
Stay safe.

So I was unsure whether to share this, however I want be to completely honest and not paint a fake picture of a perfect happy pregnancy. ⠀
⠀
In 2018 following a trauma at work I began taking a tablet for anxiety, now I’ve always been an anxious person but for me it got out of control. Luckily propranolol helped me normalise my life again and I’ve continued to take the max dose since.⠀
⠀
Last Wednesday I went to see my GP to discuss this medication as it isn’t pregnancy friendly- it can pass to baby through my blood stream via the placenta. He basically told me to come off it cold turkey and just get on with it. Which I accepted at the time- being so overwhelmed I was actually pregnant, I walked out smiling not even thinking of the consequences.⠀
⠀
It’s been a strange week since I last took it- I don’t feel great but I know this should be the happiest time of my life and I almost feel guilty writing that. After speaking to my midwife yesterday she explained that personally she had a different view from the GP, she told me it was too much of a high dose to drop off from and that she was looking holistically at my well-being not just from a medical side of things. ⠀
⠀
So she has booked me in to see a different GP other than my own, who has a better understanding and an interest in mental health in pregnancy who may be able to help me with this!⠀
⠀
A healthy mind equals a healthy mum and baby and that’s honestly all I ask for ❤️❤️⠀

Around 6-8 weeks (sometimes earlier) you may start to get morning sickness.  Why it’s called morning sickness god knows, as it can strike any time!  For some, once they’ve been sick they recover and feel fairly normal for the rest of the day, for others the nausea or vomiting may last all day and it can really debilitating.
If it is just morning sickness then different remedies can help different people; dry crackers, ginger biscuits or sweets, coke (sometimes flat is recommended), sea-sickness bands and lemon are often thought to help.  Changing the time or type of prenatal vitamin you take can also have an impact as they can sometimes make sickness worse.
If your vomiting is excessive, or the nausea is all day and doesn’t lift, and starts to impact your life very negatively, you may have Hyperemesis Gravidarum.  Although people call this severe morning sickness it isn’t morning sickness, and can be dangerous to mum and baby if the mother becomes dehydrated.  In severe cases the pregnant person might need to be hospitalised in order to have iv fluids and a feeding tube.  If you are worried you might have HG contact your doctor and ask for a prescription for medication, there are many which are considered to be safe during pregnancy.
