Pregnancy Complications Reviews

I had the most horrendous pregnancy with my 2nd child. Morning sickness (or 24 hour sickness!) plagued me from start to finish, I had frequent episodes of bleeding and I was unfeasibly large, but by far the worst complication was Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction (commonly known as "split pelvis"). From 18 weeks I started to get ...  Read the complete review

In june 2002 me and my partner found out we were having twin boys. Because I had problems with my previous pregnancies I was to be scanned every two weeks through out my pregnancy I had problems. I constantly felt dizzy sick and in general worn out my son was just starting school and my daughter nursery so I had no choice but to keep going twice. ...  Read the complete review

When I pregnant with my daughter the only pain relief I was going to have was the epidural but that was blown out of the window when I was one week over due and in that week I came down with pre-eclampisa. I was admitted and as soon as I got to the hospital they started getting blood out of me (and I am scared of needles and injections). My ...  Read the complete review

I am drawing on personal experience and saying that bleeding is not always bad as I have had 3 miscarriages yet 1 and a half pregnancies. I had quite a lot of bleeding with my daughter during pregnancy. After many scans I started to relax a bit more then when I was 16 weeks pregnant with this one I started to bleed again, thankfully it turned out ...  Read the complete review

I am writing this in the hope that others might not suffer as I have. In 1998 I became pregnant with a much wanted little boy, my due date was the beginning of January 1999 and my husband and I began to plan in anticipation of our new arrival. I was remarkably well during the first six months of my pregnancy although I felt I wasn't as big ...  Read the complete review

A well mean't comment I'm sure, but one I have never forgiven, was made to me just over thirty six years ago, when my first child, a perfectly normal,full term baby girl was stillborn.. "Its one of those things...You are young and healthy and will have other children.Pretend this never happened" said the obstetrician who had ...  Read the complete review

I felt that my experience could be of importance to someone. Neonatal death is not the most appealing subject on this site, but as there are no other opinions on it I felt it appropriate to add one. The premature birth of a child is a harrowing and emotional roller coaster ride, never knowing when you will hit a peak or trough, or ...  Read the complete review

Sunday morning 08.15 I had to take Alison (my wife) into the hospital; she had not felt any movement from our expected baby for more than forty-eight hours. When we entered the ward I was asked to wait in the “fathers room”, while they set about examining my wife. 09.10 There are four of us in the waiting ...  Read the complete review

When pregnant with my daughter, I had a great pregnancy, I did a lot of reading and decided that what I would like was a birth with minimal medical intervention and as natural ie medication free birth as possible. I actually wanted a home birth however due to my age and the fact that it was our first baby my husband was worried and as he had a ...  Read the complete review

I have got two lovely daughters, and have had low lying placenta's in both pregnancies. With my first, it was detected at the 20 week scan. I was told that if it didn't move, it would mean a c-section, however I was also told that many of them do move as the uterus grows. I was re-scanned at 32 weeks. It hadn't moved. I was ...  Read the complete review

I was 31 weeks pregnant with my first baby and still working. I woke up on friday 15th August 1997 feeling ok, but within half an hour was unable to speak with the incredible pain that had developed in my back, which I later learnt was my kidneys failing. My partner didn't know what to do so he rang the midwife who rang an ambulance ...  Read the complete review

I just wanted to share this story with you in the hope that a little understanding and compassion can be gained by us all. It concerns my uncle and his wife (although it feels strange to call them taht as they are only 8 years older than me). At the beginning of the year they discovered that they were expecting their 3rd child, it was ...  Read the complete review

This is not really an opinion, rather my experience which I'd like to share in the hope that it may be useful to others. Bleeding is an alarming thing to happen when you are pregnant, there are so many causes. The best advice I can give is to seek medical attention ASAP. Bleeding doesn't always mean miscarriage, but sadly ...  Read the complete review

I had a really lovely pregnancy which resulted in my beautiful son. I fell pregnant straightaway, suffered no morning sickness and frequently doubted that I was really pregnant until my first scan at 12 weeks! The first scan went well and we couldn't wait until the 20 week one. At this scan we were told that the placenta was very low ...  Read the complete review

After undergoing fertility treatment in order to get pregnant, I was overjoyed in June 1999 to become pregnant. I got a pregnancy test when I went to the chemist for some water tablets, as I had put on weight! Sitting there with the positive pregnancy tests (I did 3 to make sure!) I felt like I had everything I wanted. The "in joke" ...  Read the complete review
