SamanthaAaron · July 2015

hey guys its my first time posting on this board. My last board was September 2015 moms but nothing went right. My first drs appointment i was supposed to be 8w6s and only measured 6w2d with absolutely no sign of baby or yolk sac and i miscarried on march 4th.... just found out june 14th i had a positive HPT imediately the next morning i was making appointments to get to the dr. My first appointment was that following monday and baby measured 6w4d with a heart rate of 144 i was so happy i cried but i still cant help but be nervous til my next appointment in like 5 days i should be 10w4d and i pray everything is just fine and that come feb we will have a new member of the family. Am i stressing over nothing???

Sorry for your loss. I also miscarried earlier this spring and for me it's hard to not think of the possibility of it happening again. I personally really clung to the statistics of how likely miscarriage is. Once you get a strong heartbeat the chances go way down so try to be positive!

Miscarriage messes with your head. "Normal" people POAS, get a positive result and say yay, I'm having a baby! Those of us that have miscarried tend to be anxious and worry when/if something will go wrong.
Hugs!

I agree with pp, having gone through a loss messes with your head for future pregnancies. I miscarried at 7ish weeks in November was due this month. All I can do is hope this is our sticky baby and know that repeat miscarriages are rare.

This pregnancy started out rough with brown and red spotting starting 2 days after my BFP and lasting until about 2 weeks ago. The baby also originally measured way behind and while the hr was in normal range it was a little lower than they wanted. The second us showed the baby right on track with a hr of 170. That's what I cling to now, knowing this little one was growing appropriately and had a strong hr. I go back in 2 weeks and can't wait to hear the hb to know it's still ok.

I'll keep my FX for you and your sticky baby.

Sorry for your loss, unfortunately mc like pp said mess with your head and you will always stress forever... This pregnancy and for all other babies you have in the future.

Fx for A healthy sticky baby!

I was also in the Sept 15 board and miscarried. My first u/s then was around 11 weeks, but I never made it that far. The doctor being more cautious this time around got me in just shy of 7 weeks. We saw a strong heart beat and measured earlier than we expected. I know how you feel about being scared. I haven't gotten over my fears of the next appointment (next week) going wrong. I just keep telling myself, today I'm pregnant, and I have no reason to believe this pregnancy won't go well. I think that's really all you can do. Fx for a happy healthy 9 months for you.

I was on the September board too, mc at 17 weeks. I know what you mean about feeling apprehensive. Even though we saw a beautiful strong heart beat with this one I can't help but remember my last pregnancy

borgahurst · July 2015

Absolutely there with you. I have had 2 MCs. I have had some bleeding and spotting this time around which of course doesn't help. But I have had two good u/s and have a third Friday.

I read something the other day filled with mantras for loss mamas who are pregnant again and one that, for some reason, calmed me and for the passed few days has brought me peace is "it's ok to love this baby." Loving this LO doesn't take my love away for my two angels and it won't go away even if this one is meant to be an angel too.

I know that the worry will remain as long as this pregnancy lasts but I am doing my best to remind myself that today I have this baby and it's a wonderful blessing.

I just wanted to thank you all so much. Im trying not to worry so much butnow they have rescheduled my appointment for 2 days later.... so just a few more days til i can ease my mind.....

Welcome! I had a loss prior to my successful pregnancy and, even having had a successful pregnancy in between, I was still very nervous because you never forget that loss and the emotions you felt.

The good news is that it sounds like you've made it further than you did when you m/c'd - and that's always a reassuring sign

kmvirg02 · July 2015

I've had three miscarriages, all within the 15th-17th weeks of pregnancy so I'm just not sure how to feel. We heard strong heartbeats with all of our losses and even saw them moving on ultrasounds so technically our chances of miscarriage should've been very low. It's hard to feel happy but I'm doing everything I can to enjoy every day this time around. I'm currently 12wk 4days

@samanthaAaron how did everything go? Hoping your little bean is growing and heatlhy! FX

Timmysgal02 · July 2015

So sorry for you loss! Lots of positive thoughts and prayers for this little one!! Keep us posted!

SamanthaAaron · July 2015

Well guys i went to my appointment and the dr felt my tummy but said my uterus was still to small to feel and that by my next appointment we should be able to hear babys heartbeat.... i was kinda disappointed that was all he did considering my previous MC but ive only ever had 1 loss and he didnt seem to worried. Ill be 14 weeks and 4 days at my next appointment and im so excited.... please keep me and baby in your prayers

I had a MC this past February at 6ws. This time when I went in for my 8 week checkup I was afraid if they didn't do an u/s to confirm everything I was going to have a panic attack. Fortunately, my midwife was awesome and said - I see that you have had a previous m/c, let's go ahead and check for that heartbeat. I was so happy to hear it and am feeling so much better about this pregnancy. 10ws now and I know the chance of another miscarriage is slim, but still so scared!
