Pregnant after a Loss

Had 3 losses, pregnant now, very nervous. Any advice?

In 2010 I had a placenta abruption and had our daughter at 23 1/2 weeks. We were blessed to have her for 6 weeks before she was called to heaven, Then in 2011 I went to labor at 20 weeks and our son was born sleeping. In May we had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Now I am 7 weeks pregnant and very nervous we will lose this baby too. I have an ultrasound in a week and cannot wait to see the heartbeat in order to calm my nerves. Has anyone had multiple losses and then had a healthy baby?

  • I have not had a baby yet but wanted to wish you luck and ask if they are planning on putting in a cerclage? Have they checked your progesterone? Also something that helps me through my pg is having an u/s every week whether things are perfect or not it gives me great peace of mind.

  • I have had 3 losses although they were early, I'm now just over 12 weeks and everything looks good.  I am so sorry for your losses, and I can only imagine how anxious you must be feeling.  I was a wreck at the very beginning, and now only recently have become...only a partial wreck?  Congratulations on your new pregnancy, I hope that everything goes well and you have a happy and healthy nine months. 
    TTC 10/2009 BFP #1: Missed m/c at 8.5 weeks 11/10 BFP #2: Missed m/c at 10.5 weeks 8/11 BFP #3: Missed m/c at 9 weeks 2/2012 BFP #4: 8/21/12, EDD 5/4/13. So far so good, fingers crossed, hoping and praying with all of our might for this little bean....
  • Technically, I'm not a success story yet. But I did lose my son at 22w4d last year due to preterm labor. I'm now 31w4d thanks to bedrest, p17 shots, procardia and an emergency cerclage. I won't lie- it's been a VERY scary pregnancy.

    Talk to your Drs. and devise a solid plan, it's the best advice I can give you for increasing your comfort level. You will probably still be terrified but it's important for you to feel like you're doing everything you can to make this pg stick.

    GL!

  • Thank you everyone for the support. We found out during the last pregnancy I have a blood clotting issue. I'm blood thinner injections now so hopefully everything will go great and we will have our baby to take home with us.

    I'm just trying not to stress and enjoy being pregnant.
