Pregnant after a Miscarriage

mille116

I miscarried my baby June 13 and never had a period. I am now 6 weeks along and it all feels so surreal. We aren't telling anyone for a long while, and all I really do is worry. I have a 3 year old and everything was so normal with her pregnancy and birth. We never had a miscarriage and were excited from the moment I got two pink lines. We were the same with the second baby, but at 8 weeks there was no heartbeat and I have never been so devestated. I just don't feel ready to do it again and am paranoid of that next ultrasound. I was just wondering if anyone else is going through this... Maybe we can support one another. I am sure we will have happy healthy babies on the other side, but so worried right now......

I'm so sorry for your loss. 

Miscarrying my first pregnancy is one of the hardest things I've ever been through.  I found out at my first appt (11w3d) that it wasn't a viable pregnancy.  My MW this time around doesn't want to see me until 10 weeks, and the wait is killing me.  It's so hard not to be paranoid.  

Big hugs to you, mama!  I'm sure there are others like us on this board, and if you're looking for support, the ladies on the pregnant after a loss board are lovely too.

I guess we are in the same boat! Because of my recent miscarriage, I have been to the doctor several times for bloodwork and an ultrasound.... but really it doesn't change anything. I can go south at anytime this early.... I would really like to just jump to 6 weeks from now . Hugs to you and prayers for two beautiful babies in April!

I'm 6w2d and I never had a period from my miscarriage in june. I was 5w6d. I had an ultrasound yesterday everything looks good and there was a heartbeat. Hoping for the best!

Congrats and welcome to the board. I had three mc before I had my son so I know how you feel. Just take one day at a time.

I miscarried July 3 at 5w 3d. Now pregnant again (super fast!) at 5w 5d now and I'm totally with you, worrying all the time. I even took a second pregnancy test to make sure, lol. I really believe in the power of positive thinking, so just keep telling myself over and over it is all going to be fine, I have a perfectly healthy baby growing in there and will get to meet him/her in April. Also trying to visualize my big belly and healthy baby inside. Might sound crazy, but I feel like it's helping keep me calm!

Same boat here after losing my baby at 8 weeks in May. It was traumatizing. After two easy healthy pregnancies I was shocked to have a miscarriage. I'm 5 weeks 2 days along and in trying to picture a healthy baby growing. Best of luck and prayers to all who are going through this too. How happy will we be when October rolls around??

If there is one thing I have learned, it is that pregnancy loss happens all the time and you aren't alone. I lost my first pregnancy and had surgery to remove my left tube in March (on my birthday nonetheless) because of an ectopic. I just surpassed the date of my loss and I am still so anxious about this one.

Not only is your fear normal, it is common, so don't feel alone

Thinking about all of you ladies... so sorry for your losses and hoping we all have healthy pregnancies.

Congrats! Right there with you. We miscarried in May after having a textbook perfect pregnancy and delivery with my son last year. We were shocked to be going through that. We had an ultrasound last week that showed the heart beat and our first official appointment is Tuesday, and I find myself holding my breath to get there! But very happy to be pregnant again so quickly and striving to enjoy every day!

Right there with you too! I lost my first baby at 9.5 weeks June 1. I was devastated, but it's so helpful knowing that so many people have gone through it and have gone on to have healthy babies! We will all get our rainbow baby and I keep repeating the mantra, "I am pregnant today."

I miscarried in December. Or my body missed the miscarriage, and I found out NYE. I had surgery the first week of January and we've been trying ever since. I'm happy, but I can't get excited yet. I won't until we see/hear the heartbeat for the first time. And even then I'll still be a nervous mess the rest of pregnancy.

Going through a similar situation as well. I miscarried at about 9 weeks in May(we found out at our first app of 8 weeks that the baby only measured 6 weeks).

Got pregnant right away this time..am now 5w6d. Yesterday we had blood work and found my hcg to he 995 and progesterone 7.5. My doc just put me on progesterone suppositories cause of the low number.

Getting more blood work done tomorrow and possibly ultrasound on Friday. It's such a nerve wrecking experience. I'm trying to keep a positive head, but the mc is always in my mind.

Glad we have everyone to show support!

Here's to everyone having healthy babies

I can relate - I literally just found out that I'm pregnant and I'm in utter shock. My last normal cycle was in May, had an early mc in June, and had two consecutive days of bleeding in early July. I just took a test on a whim after realizing I was over a week late. I do feel better knowing that I'm in good company!

I can relate ! I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks due a huge SCH on June 8th and a D&C the same day. It took us 6 months to get pregnant last time. Since the loss I had one period on July 8th and found out last Friday that we are pregnant again... Shocked honestly ! However this time I'm not worried at all because now that I've been through it I know I can do it again. Gotta stay positive !

We have had 4 mcs in the past 16 months. They have all been devastating, so we finally went through with IVF and PGS screening to up our chances. Unfortunately the betas are not doubling (not even close). My fingers are crossed, but my hopes are not raised... I think I am in the self preservation mentality. That being said, I have always found these boards to have been an incredible network of support. It's incredible how much strength you can gain from the kind hearts of strangers.

We had a MC in March at 5 weeks + 6 days. My first appointment with my doctor is only on August 24th, because I'm out of the country for a while and when I come back he will be on vacation. I was really nervous to find out if everything was going fine. I went to a Pregnancy Care Center where they do ultrasound for free, because I was too stressed and didn't want to have a bad vacation. Everything seems to be fine fine, we saw the heartbeat and the baby.

I had my son in October 2010 and my first miscarriage in September 2014. My second was in February 2015. I'm now pregnant again and it's TERRIFYING. Ultrasounds are no longer fun, I want to hide all evidence of being pregnant so that no one knows. You are not alone here, and I will happily support you through this.

It's so nice to hear that there is hope after miscarriage. I have been struggling with infertility for a year now and 2 failed IUI's we tried IVF. I got pregnant and was over the moon but two days after the first U/S I miscarried. I was 6W1D. 

I became depressed to the point I didn't want to get out of bed, go to work, do anything. To make matters worse, my body didn't pass all of the tissue so I had to have a D&C, then another procedure to remove all the tissue. 

I could not understand why my body was doing this to me! But after going through all of that, my doctor allowed us to try again and I did a frozen embryo transfer 3 weeks ago. It took (we transferred two, so maybe both took?) 

I am still in a state of disbelief and panic every time I feel something. I don't have my first U/S until next week and I am just praying that this time it works and we have a healthy pregnancy. 

I do feel encouraged that there has been more talk of miscarriages publicly lately. It's an incredibly painful thing to have happened but it does help to know others have been through it and I love hearing stories of successful pregnancies after miscarriage. Gives me hope! 

All the best to you in this pregnancy. I do hope it's a healthy one for you and baby!

We lost our baby at 12 weeks in March. It was a terrible experience. My husband and I have no living children, yet, and all we want is to grow our family. Now we are 5W3D pregnant and all I do is worry. I really really don't want to go through that again. I know completely how you feel. It's so hard not to worry especially when you want something so bad. I try to stay positive because I'm doing everything I can to have a healthy pregnancy and I know some things are out of my control. We are pregnant today so let's enjoy it!
Good luck to you!!
