Prego with an IUD

Just wondering if I am all alone in this department.

Have had an iud for 6yrs found out it migrated and SUPRISE! We have a baby! This will be #6 for us!

They are unable to remove it because of its location miscarriage risk is high throughout the entire pregnancy.

I have accepted and am even excited to have a baby again but I feel this looming cloud of dispair.

When do I get to be excited? It is like their will always be constant fear. If I loose it early it will be hard but I will manage. But if I have it happen later after I have told the world and felt it move ugh! I am terrified.

Overall I know it is all in gods hands and he will get me through it all but I wish I could get past the doom feeling. I want to shop and prepare (I have nothing as I thought we were done) but I am scared to jinx it.

Sorry for the long note but I am hoping that putting my fears out their will relieve some of my anxieties. Have any of you ever dealt with the whole iud issue?

  • A very good friend of mine in school was an IUD baby. Her mom did fine & she is awesome. Good luck!
  • I am so glad they couldn't find yours. Even though all of it is freaky I am thankful mine is a para guard and non hormonal. It is definitely in their all u see is a big white line blocking baby view during U/S. But we did get a heart beat of 150 at 7w5d and everything looked good otherwise. We go back on the 16th for another U/S and again two weeks after that. The biggest worry after 12w is PROM. I feel much happier today I think I was really just having a rock bottom down moment last night thanks for all the T&P
  • Wishing you the best!

  • Congrats on the pregnancy,

    Hasn't ever happened to me, but I do work in paediatrics and have had a couple of patients conceived with an IUD in. So, I have a sample size of 2... both of whom are adorable little children. Premature, but healthy.
  • I hope everything goes well. Have a happy and healthy 9 months!

  • I found out 3 weeks ago I am pregnant and was on the MIrena IUD. I went to the ER thinking all the cramping I was having was due to cysts. Well the doctor found 2 huge cyst on my right ovary and also showed me that my IUD had slipped down into my cervix then he showed me a Baby with a beautiful heartbeat of 120 I was 6 weeks and 5 days.  I got the IUD removed 2 days later when I was 7 weeks they told me I would cramp and Bleed for about 2 weeks but thank god I havent had any bleeding. I went last monday at 9 weeks and everything looks great! Baby was growing on tract and heartbeat was strong at 176. I would love to stay in touch since I know NOBODY in this situation!!! My youngest just turned 1 I still am in shock but I am also SO IN LOVE WITH THIS BABY and consider it a complete miracle!!! Good luck with your pregnancy! Here my first ultrasound picture
  • I've had that same experience with my 3rd child... Couldn't get the IUD out because it would cause a miscarriages, my baby girl was born just fine, but when I delivered they took the placenta to disect it and found no IUD, I had a pelvic exam and still no IUD... Well 3 months after delivery..... I had to use the bathroom due to bad cramps..... I thought I had to have a bowel movement, but instead the IUD was delivered rectally (I know it sound gross). I was scared and called my OB.. Scheduled an appointment and sent the IUD out to see if any pieces were missing (everything was there), then I had to have a colonoscopy to make sure everything was ok, which it was.... My daughter is almost 10 and I've been fine.... Good luck to you.....
