The ongoing physical stress of miscarriage

Have you had your pregnancy hormone levels checked to make sure thay have returned to pre-pregnancy state yet? Best to get them checked before ttc again.
The dry skin may just be the time of year- certainly is for me at the moment- have never noticed it to ba a pregnancy, post pregnancy or post mc thing.

My body took a good 6 weeks to return to pre-preg state- even tho I got af back on day 32 after the mc. My tummy still felt puffy and not compeltely deflated til then. My boobs hadnt changed much at all tho and I didnt notice anything after the mc with them either- but Ive bf for 3 years ( in total) and it was my 3rd pregnancy- my boobs did change heaps with my first pregnancy tho!

I had gained a few kg when preg,..then didnt loss it after the mc before becoming preg again,...but then so far havent gained any weight this pregnancy- well hadnt at my last mw appt 2 weeks ago anyway,....weird!

Yeah I did the same after my mc too- went and got some really nice bra and undie sets ( I had been breastfeeding for 2 years right up til I got preg so had only had maternity bras!) and some clothes.

I was a given a form from the hospital to get bloods checked 4 weeks after the mc,...ring your GP office and ask them to do a form for you. I would get your iron and full blood count done at the same time too - then u will know what your iron and haemoglobin levels are after the mc too- you want to be at your best before egtting preg again as your body uses a lot of iron while your preg, and the levels may be low as your body uses your iron stores to make new blood cells- like after the mc.
