By Bianca Johnson / October 1, 2013

Follow Up Bloods and more worry!

By Bianca Johnson / September 27, 2013

By Bianca Johnson / August 24, 2013

I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks and 2 days. It’s almost a month later and I realise that I never came and updated this blog. It was a bit difficult to think about. The rest of the pregnancy from 5 weeks 5 days to 8 weeks was much the same as my previous post.…

Trying not to worry

By Bianca Johnson / July 5, 2013

I had a bit of a moment this morning!I haven’t been sleeping well for a while now. I’m pretty much awake from about 4am most mornings, and when I do drift back to sleep it is full of very weird dreams! So I decided I wanted to do another home pregnancy test so I did…

Confirmation

By Bianca Johnson / July 5, 2013

I did do the test last Friday and it was positive. I also went for a blood test and that confirmed the pregnancy. B and I are both very apprehensive and very excited. Because I have had two miscarriages in the last year it is a very nervous wait for the first scan at the…
