12/24/2023 0 Comments Bed rest at 8 weeks pregnant![]() ![]() I was nervous for this pregnancy, a feeling I hadn't had really before. My G.P would not give me a prescription for Metformin so I was once again facing an uncertain pregnancy with a newly diagnosed PCoS and no change in circumstances. I had just found out I was pregnant again for the third time (I caught straight after the miscarriage). I also read about a link between Metformin and supporting a pregnancy so asked my G.P for it. I did not have much knowledge on PCOS so did a lot of reading on it. I opted for a D&C, not being able to face the thought of medication to help me deliver my little baby or waiting for it to happen naturally.Īt the time of the second miscarriage, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Women are designed to support a pregnancy yet mine couldn't. I remember the silence from the sonographer and after what felt like an eternity, she broke the news to me that my baby had died inside of me. ![]() I was fairly confident that everything was OK, I'd had no bleeding and felt really well. I caught fairly quickly and booked in for a reassurance scan. Lots of people go through a miscarriage once and then the next time everything is OK, right? My body still thought it was pregnant and so the week before Christmas I had a D&C.įollowing the miscarriage, I was determined to get pregnant again. I went back a week later for a follow up scan (the bleeding had stopped) and heard the news that nobody wants to hear. At 7 weeks I started bleeding but had a scan and everything was OK and even got to see a little heartbeat. ![]() I remember the excitement I felt when I got that first positive pregnancy test and couldn't help but imagine what the future would be like. I feel truly blessed and want to share my story to give courage to those that are going through or have been through the heartbreak of losing a baby. A year ago I would never have imagined to be where I am now. As I write my story, my beautiful 15 week old baby girl is sleeping next to me. ![]()
