Pregnancy/births after D&C

Knottie1432264442 · July 2015

my fiancé and I found out our baby stopped growing at 8.5 weeks at our first appointment at 10 weeks. This was our first child. The baby was loved every second it was known to have existed. We opted for a D&C because it was a missed miscarriage. No spotting or cramping and I couldn't wait around forever for something to happen. I had the procedure and physically feel fine. I am eager to try again but beyond paranoid history will repeat itself. Anyone else been through this? I have heard so many conflicting reports regarding conceiving and pregnancy after a miscarriage. I want to know there is hope.

There is definitely hope! My second pregnancy was a missed m/c at 14 wks. I had a d&c bc, like you mention, I wanted to have it done and move forward. We waited 3 months after my first period post m/c to ttc again (my dr recommended this; 1 month for physical healing and another 2 for emotional healing). After that it took us 3 more months to conceive. I ended up conceiving the week of my loss baby's due date do it seemed really meant to be. I carried to term (overdue actually) with a perfectly healthy pregnancy. I'm hopeful for a successful pregnant after my current loss (d&c was yesterday).

I'm sorry for your loss. This doesn't have to be the end of the journey to grow your family. It's just a setback. Hugs.

Hey hang in there, there is hope. I had a missed miscarriage as well and ended up having the D&C last February, I did have an early miscarriage (5 weeks) in May but now have a full term, healthy 10 week old baby.
