POC after Natural Miscarriage?
We got pregnant straight on our first month of ttc, started to spot on 5-6 week and finally was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage around 10th week of my pregnancy. I opted to take nature it course and finally miscarried on 31 jan 2011.I had to go to A&E coz of massive bleeding. They did u/s next day to say that womb is empty. But i am still showing + on HPT almost 10 days after miscarriage and very very nausea ed all the time long. no high temperature though. GP says I have no infection and sent me back with pack of antibiotics. I m still wondering if i do retain products of conception yet? If yes, what are the symptoms should I look for ?Since it is very hard to get line up again for u/s and see a doctor what should i do to confirm things?
Michelle answers:
It can take some time after a miscarriage for the hormones in your body to go back to zero.
The average time is about 19 days, if your testng with a higher sensitivity test it could pick it up for even longer.
However, if it has been more than a couple of weeks since your miscarriage, you should call your doctor if you are still getting a positive pregnancy test. In this situation, your doctor may want to monitor your hCG level with blood tests. If the level does not return to zero within a reasonable time frame, there is a chance that there might still be pregnancy tissue in your uterus and you may need a D & C. If you have been sexually active, it is also possible that you might be pregnant again, but your doctor should be able to tell you for sure one way or the other.

Ladies while you were pregnant did u stop using any certain products or did u stop any certain beauty rituals?
I mean like any type of makeup or perfumes?? I was taking a shower and just thinking hmm wonder if any other pregnant women out there use facewash or body wash or if they change to something more earth friendly or more natural?? Or like hairspary or mousse smells bother you? Or did any of your makeup look bad on you that looked good before you got pregnant.. I have heard of the pregnancy GLOw lol that is suppose to take care of that wearing so much makeup.. Anyway just wondering
Michelle answers:
I LOVE my body wash. I love the smell and the bubbles and the fact that in my dry climate I don’t need to use lotion because of it.

Michelle answers:
It says organic, but look at the ingredient list…it still has a whole list of chemicals in it. In general, you can dye your hair during pregnancy, as long as you are careful. Do it in a well ventilated room so you are not breathing in all the fumes, and don’t do it too often. And probably the longer you have it on your head, the worse, so don’t leave it on longer than it says.
This is just what I’ve read, not from my own experience. I’ve never dyed my hair while I was pregnant.

Need to get rid of this pregnancy acne! :(?
I’m going to the store tonight to buy some products to see if I can try and clear up some of this mess on my face! I’m 18 weeks pregnant. To be honest, even though I know its bad, before I got pregnant, I rarely even washed my face with a facewash. I have never been prone to breakouts. Now, its so bad I can’t take it anymore. And with the acne, came more makeup than I’ve ever used before trying to control the nasty look of the zits and redness. So I think I’m clogging my face even more. I have started a routine. I wash my face with Aveeno naturals every morning and night and like to use a light moisturizer morning and night as well. I just found out my moisturizer has salycilic acid in it so I’ve quit using it. Does anyone have a good routine with products that aren’t going to break me?
