I'm currently 10 weeks with my second child (first was born in 2024) after a MMC last year. I'm trying to stay optimistic, my anxiety during pregnancy in general is awful. I read that you may show earlier if it's not your first because your body has already stretched but I am surprised at how quickly I feel like it's happened. I definitely had a bit of a belly anyway pre pregnancy but I feel like whatever I wear at the moment it is quite obvious. I know it's mainly bloat, probably from the progesterone pessaries I am taking.

I'm very grateful to be pregnant and I hope more than anything that this child is born healthy but I am actually not a fan of the "is she pregnant or just chubby" phase 🤣 I'm not announcing to anyone until my dating scan so it's a long way to go yet but I feel like people may be wondering at this point.

Hi all, this sub really helped me when I had my son two years ago. I'm now eight weeks pregnant with my fourth pregnancy, but I only have one living child. Long story short I had a natural early miscarriage with my first, then had my son successfully, then a missed miscarriage discovered at ten weeks last year, baby had died at eight weeks, which led to surgical management. The mva procedure.

My anxiety (as it always is when pregnant) has been off the scale worrying about a third miscarriage. I had my booking appointment last week and I've just logged onto my Tommy's app to take a look and I see this. I'm now panicking I'm at risk of a pre term birth and nobody has mentioned this to me.

My midwife didn't mention anything about that to me, and even said all my information on the Tommy's app has come back I am low risk. The only thing I can think of is the surgical management has put me at risk of pre term birth but nobody ever mentioned this as a risk factor to me before the surgery, nor after at any point. This is the only thing I can think of as I have no risk factors I am aware of and my son was born full term.

My question is- has anyone had this written on their app "assessment of placental function" is what's worrying me. Is this a standard thing they write or have you had it written on your app if you were at risk of a pre term birth ? I'm just really confused and it's making me spiral even more, and I'm already spiralling daily about the possibility of a third miscarriage.

Thank you for reading. X

I call this one "my toddler is screaming and if I don't eat something that I can stomach then I will vomit on the Tesco floor immediately" I ate the crisps in there (paid for them after) and took the pasta home.

Some of the only foods I can tolerate at the moment due to morning sickness.

To be fair, it would be my usual baguette of choice.
