Update: Pregnant after a Miscarriage

we had such a great connection and support system in the last thread, I thought I would start another. Now that it's a week later, who has an update? Positive or Negative??

* here's mine - second ultrasound today and showed baby perfectly healthy and on target growth wise. Heard heartbeat at 168 bpm. We are very excited and know we aren't out of the woods yet, but at least odds go down!!

Re: Update: Pregnant after a Miscarriage

  • After a MMC earlier this year, we had an early ultrasound at about 4w6d. The tech said everything looks great and she wants me back in two weeks (now it's 1 week from today). Hopefully we will see the heartbeat and a little baby this time!

    It was such a relief compared to the ultrasound I had when we discovered the MMC. There was nothing in the sac and it was irregular. Just seeing a perfect sac and yolk sac made a world of difference to me.

    I'm 5w6d now and still going strong!

  • I still have a little less than three weeks to wait for our first u/s. I'm trying to put it out of my mind as much as possible, but I am really nervous that the same thing will happen again. No heartbeat.
  • I had a MC in March, so I was really nervous at the beginning of this pregnancy. My first OB appointment is only on the 24th, so I went to a clinic where they do free u/s and we saw the baby and could hear the heartbeat too. Can't wait to go see my doctor next Monday, to make sure everything is still okay.

  • So far so good here. I had a miscarriage in April at 11 weeks.. baby lost the heart beat... literally at 11 weeks. Everything had been fine up until that point.
    Ultrasound Monday showed a perfect sac and yolk and I will have weekly ultrasounds until 20 weeks..

    Praying for a rainbow baby for us all
  • My u/s isn't until Aug 26th, but I had my bloodwork done this week. My hcg # was good but the progesterone # was a little low so they put me on a pill. Based on my lmp I'm 6w6d, we will find out for sure next week. I had a mc in June so I'm still nervous but staying positive and anxious to see my little bean on the screen. :)
  • Had a miscarriage June 8th . Went in on tues for my first ultrasound and we got to see the heartbeat at 5w6d :)
  • I had my first MMC and D&C in September 2014 and my second in February 2015. I'm now just over 7 weeks and had my first u/s of this pregnancy when I was 5w6d. They found the sac, yolk sac, and heartbeat (134/min). I don't know when I'll get another...I'm hoping because of my history (and the spotting that caused the u/s I already had) that my OB will order one earlier than 12 weeks, but I won't know until I see her monday for my 8 week appointment. Cautiously optimistic.

  • Had an ectopic in March. Went in for a sonogram at 7 weeks, 4 days and showed a little embryo in my uterus! With a heartbeat!
  • I'm so so so jealous. I had a blighted ovum 8 months after my DD was born in April 2014, then a d&c this May after my 9 week US showed the baby stopped developing at 7.5 weeks. This time around my Dr won't see me until 9 weeks. I'm a bundle of nerves and feel like all the pregnancy magic has been stripped from me. I'm only 5 weeks today so it's gonna be a looooong 4 more weeks!

    I had a MC and d&c in dec 2012. Was pregnant with twins lost the first one around 11w went for second u/s at 14.5 weeks and no heartbeat. This is the second pregnancy and I'm 8w tomorrow. Saw my NP just the other day and she reassured me that every pregnancy is different so we are waiting till 12w to do u/s. I wish you ladies all the best and being optimistic for every single one of you and your new little ones!!!
  • I just found out I am pregnant. I miscarried on April 21st and I wasn't even sure I wanted to try again. I want to be excited but I am terrified. My doctor has me coming in tomorrow for a blood test and look at my progesterone level. The crazy thing is... if all goes well, it looks like my due date for this little one will be on my one year anniversary of my miscarriage. Just praying and praying that this little peanut stays with me. Sending love and light to all of you and wishing you healthy and happy pregnancies.

  • So happy to see and read everyone still has their angel babies. I say a special prayer each night for all of us!!! I feel like we are a special group that nobody wants to be in, but so happy we are here for each other!

    It didn't even occur to me like that. I lost a baby April 16 at 11 weeks.... and am due April 20. Life hopefully will come full circle...

    How far along do u think u are?
  • 5 weeks today, I believe. You're right, maybe this is life's full circle. The very best of luck to you.

  • Had a mc in May and this time had low progesterone so am on the pill. We are one week earlier than the lmp date, so guess I ovulated late!

    First us was at 5w and there was the yolk sac and today 5w6d we had another one and heard the heartbeat...121bpm...soo excited and relieved!!! :)
  • Had an MMC and 2 EPRC's (similar to D&C) earlier this year.

    Pregnant now and have had a worrisome few weeks as symptoms come and go. Each time they go I'm frightened it's another MMC.

    We had a positive scan at 6 weeks and had an emergency scan this morning (at 7+5) - saw a beautiful little baby, and strong regular heartbeat of 161bpm.

    Keeping fingers crossed for us all.

    I had surgery for an ectopic on March 31, this baby is due April 4. I am kind of hoping it comes on March 31 just to show what my body is capable of :)
  • I'm still very early but I'll add my story. Chemical Pregnancy in Feb and D&C May 20th for a MMC. Baby was 9.5 weeks but there was no heart beat. They estimated it stopped growing right around 7 weeks. We are praying and believing everything is good with this pregnancy and we'll get to meet the newest addition to our family At the end of April.
  • I had a similar situation- found out I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks in March. Got pregnant again in jun me and had a chemical pregnancy. I just found out I am pregnant again this week and am praying for a healthy baby this time around!
  • We've had 4 mcs over the last 16mths. We had a D&C with the last one to test for genetic abnormalities, because every other test under the sun said we were incredibly healthy and fertile. The tests came back with significant chromosomal abnormalities, so we opted for IVF with PGS. We are 6w1d and we go in for our first US on Monday. Betas and progrsterone look great, but I won't let myself get excited just yet! Monday is so far away!

    I just got my bfp and realized that im in the same boat as you. If i have a healthy pregnancy and baby is born, the due date is 2 days before my
    Mmc anniversary too!
