2 miscarriages and now pregnant again. Driving myself crazy

Brittsauce9

Hi,

my first miscarriage was four years ago and I was 12 weeks. My last miscarriage was 6months ago. After my second miscarriage they discover I had a blood clot that caused the ,is carriage. I then did blood tests and found out that I have a protien s deficiency. I now take lovenox injections everyday for the rest of my life. I found out two and a half weeks ago that I'm 8 weeks pregnant. I am now about 10 weeks and 4 days. I have lower back pain and I drive myself crazy everyday. Every time I use the restroom I check for blood. Every time I discharge I look for blood. I feel like I'm waiting to miscarry. I went to the store today to look at maternity clothes but I broke down crying. I don't want to buy maternity clothes if the baby will not make it. Am I the only one paranoid. My next appointment isn't for two weeks and my babies never make it to a second ultrasound... Feeling sad.

It is totally understandable to be scared especially with two previous miscarriage but it also sounds like they have figured out the issue so it hopefully does not happen again. Hugs and hoping you have a healthy pregnancy

I've had one and I know the feeling.  I try and stay positive.  Make sure you take it easy and always talk with your doctor about your concerns.  GL!

No, you aren't crazy. "Pregnant After a Loss" brain will do that to you. It does sound like they know what caused your m/c so hopefully the lovenox injections will prevent it from happening again. Just try to take it day by day. And congrats!

It's normal that you feel that way. I've had two miscarriages with in one year, I just found out I'm pregnant. I'm very scared too. I've had pregnancies and carried full term 4 times, I don't understand why the miscarriages now.. I've carried them full term so expect to do the same with this one, I won't focus on my sad past experiences.
Stay positive friend: your baby will be fine.

I have a serious question. I have had 2 miscarriages in a row. One in 2010 and one this month, in 2013. My husband and I were TTC 1 year and 7 months before this happened. We are devastated but the question I would like to know it does anyone else have any similar stories with hope of having a sticky baby with or without doctors help?  I guess I just want to know if there is hope, If I will get pregnant again with a successful pregnancy #3?

Not crazy.....i also had two miscarriages and when i got pregnant this time around i was so scared the first trimester.....i have finally stopped checking for blood after i pee...it took about 14 weeks but i finally feel excited and happy to be a mom again!!

Not crazy at all! I also miscarried pretty far along at 11 weeks and this time around I'm very cautious. I think we will feel better when we are well into our second trimester and passed the 12 week mark. Hang tight! Just keep calm for your baby, breathe and believe all is going to be wonderful this time.

I think it's very normal to worry after having losses

I'm worried for my second US next week

I like what people on the loss board say - just remind yourself 'TODAY I am pregnant' and try not to worry to much about the unknowns, easier to say than do I know

A friend of mine had 3 miscarriages before her first sucessful pregnancy, so yes - and she had no intervention/doctor's help. so yes, it can definitely happen

I have 2 1/2 year old since but since TTC a second child.  I have had 3 miscarriages in a year.  When going in for blood work a couple weeks ago for my OB I found out I'm pregnant again.  I like you am cautiously excited.  My last m/c was a 10 weeks, so close to the 2nd trimester.  I have anxiety issues and am also on alert every time I have a cramp or go to the bathroom.  I would buy a couple thingst that you need and make you comfortable.  After my last m/c destination maternity was very caring and took everything back with no questions asked if heaven forbid.  Praying for a hb at your next apt.

It makese feel better to know I'm not alone. We m/c in June I found out at my 10 week appointment, and now I'm 11 weeks 2 days with my second pregnancy. We went in at about 8 weeks and saw the baby and heartbeat and they said it was growing fine. I should be happy and excited but I'm also nervous especially as we are about to tell all our family and friends this weekend. It's almost like I hope for days filled with morning sickness so I know everything's still ok.

The "Pregnant After A Loss" board has been a lifesaver for me. You can post anything about your anxieties, and everyone is supportive b/c they're all going through/have dealt with the same thoughts and emotions.

this sounds very familiar to me. i've miscarried twice as well. this time around, for the entirety of the first trimester i was on the lookout for all the signs and symptoms and just all-around paranoid. totally normal! i had a normal, healthy pregnancy, a smooth delivery and now have a happy 2 month old. you're not always doomed to repeat the past. i know when you make it to that next ultrasound, your heart will feel like exploding :0) once you see your baby start growing bigger and more developed all those feelings of anxiety will slowly turn into feelings of excitement. i hope these stresses go away soon and you can enjoy your pregnancy. good luck!

I know how you feel i am 5 weeks and 3 days, i have had 2 m/c, And my husband and i are so scared to be happy not wanting to get are hopes up! Everytime i go to the bathroom i check for blood, i have cramped very mildly but i read that it is due to my uterus stretching. We are hoping , praying, and Believing this time will be different than the rest! since my others i lost early. Good Luck to you also and Congrats!

I know exactly how you feel.  I had to m/c before this pregnancy as well, and for the first month my anxiety was nearly unbearable.  Hang in there.  Do what you can to rest and relax.   With your previous losses can they get you in a little sooner?

Hang in there, ladies! OP, It sounds like you have a good shot to make it this time. Miscarriages aren't unusual, sadly. But neither are healthy full-term pregnancies. Keep is posted. I have a feeling you will make it through. I know it must be scary though.
