Anybody else here after their last one being a miscarriage? At what point will you feel comfortable this one “stuck”? I’m a few days further than the last but not confident yet.

Totally understand how you’re feeling. I had a MC in March of this year at around 5w. I’m still feeling cautious about this one - I’m 4w today. Trying to enjoy it though and remind myself that just because we experienced a loss last time doesn’t mean it will happen again. Hoping it sticks for both of us this time around!

I feel you! I am 5 weeks today. I miscarried at 7 weeks so I am trying not to let the nerves get in the way of my excitement. I think I will feel more comfortable when we hear the heartbeat at our first appointment. I hope for the best for all of us ❤️

I also had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in March! It was my first pregnancy and this one is my second. I got a darker line sooner with this pregnancy and now I’m nearly 5 weeks again. My doctor is having me come in for an early ultrasound at 6.5 weeks. I’m so nervous!

Hoping good thoughts for all of you! I think for me I’m banking on the “rarely doesn’t anybody have repeats” logic to tell me this one’s going to stick. But every time I feel myself with that one I also say “but you could also just be the unlucky few” 🫠. I also got a darker line this time but my symptoms are less intense so idk if that’s a good sigh or bad?

We are. We had a second trimester(15 week) twin boy loss in April of 2020. I’ve had a lot of issues after their delivery and we’ve been doing fertility treatments for over a year now. We are extremely nervous.

I had a chemical in May and surprise conceived in June! I’m 5w3d and so anxious. My chemical was also my second loss, hoping this one is our sticky baby 🤍🌈

It's been almost exactly a year since I got pregnant last time and lost my baby. This baby will have a due date that's very close to my last loss (only a week or so apart). I'm so thankful but anxious and overanalyzing. I've had 6 losses over my lifetime and both my previous 2 kiddos are rainbows as well. The unfortunate truth is that once you experience a loss, you never truly feel safe. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop even now.

Same here. We had a loss this past December around 7 weeks. This pregnancy feels different to me than the last one, but I don’t want to let myself get excited just yet. It was a hard blow the first time around. I am just staying positive and trying to take the best care of myself that I can and pray this one is “sticky”. Praying for all you mamas as well!! 🥰

I had an ectopic pregnancy with the loss of one of my tubes back in March. The loss was one of the hardest things I had to go through. It burst my idealistic bubble completely. So thankful that I am pregnant again. Im only 5w right now but I’m already feeling better this time around. I don’t think I’ll feel 100% safe until I see that the babe is in the right spot this time around. And even then I think I will still always have that cautious/apprehensive side lingering. Sending all the good vibes everyone’s way!

We had a chemical in May this year and got pregnant in June.. we’re now only 5 weeks and due in March ❤️ Fingers crossed for all you mamas

I had one miscarriage back in 2015. I lost the baby at 14 weeks. I had a baby boy last year in January. Now I’m about 5 weeks pregnant and they are doing an early ultra sound with tests on July 19th. I’m worried to say the least. After losing one it’s hard to think everything will be ok with pregnancies after.

txrae · July 2022

Me too. I'm finding it hard to manage my expectations. My MC was at 6 weeks so I probably won't feel comfortable until I get to 8 weeks or so. Who knows, I may never stop cautiously checking my underwear every time I use the bathroom to check for spotting...

thelastraeofsun · July 2022

I had a 32 week stillbirth and multiple miscarriages, so I don't think there's any point at which I will feel safe. Hearing a heartbeat will certainly settle my nerves. That first ultrasound is everything

thelastraeofsun · July 2022

Oh my heart. I am so sorry.

emilyrtaylor0817 · July 2022

I am completely in same boat. It’s really scary when I saw the positive, such a different feeling this round, but so hopeful. ❤️

kenz246 · July 2022

I had a miscarriage last year at 6 weeks and since have been through multiple failed rounds of IUI, I recently found out I am pregnant naturally and am very scared. I have been having alot of cramping and am terrified that I will have another miscarriage and not get pregnant again. I am hoping and praying for all of us that these babies will meet us earthside!! Hugs to everyone

vkenn3183 · July 2022

Miscarried in April of this year between 6-7 weeks....very stressful this time around just praying all goes well!

miss_lynn9 · July 2022

I had a missed miscarriage in October at 10 weeks. I've had issues with my hormones in the past so I decided to get them tested and found out my progesterone and estrogen were too low. I've been working on getting them up to a good level. I'm also very nervous.

I got pregnant around Halloween of last year and right after telling our family for Christmas we found out that we had a silent miscarriage. I was given a pill to pass the tissue but t nothing happened. I had a terrible nurse practitioner/midwife that never got me scanned and thought I had passed the tissue even though my HCG levels remained around 200 for the following 3 months. Then March 30th rolled around and I woke up with extreme pain had to go to the ER and basically gave birth to a 4-month placenta. One of the most traumatic things in my life. I think the hard part for me was I don't know a single other person in my friend or family group that has had a miscarriage yet they say it's so common it's 1 and 4. And after dumping the nurse practitioner and going to an OBGYN post ER visit to make sure all the tissue had passed she honestly did not believe that that could have happened to me and thought it was a second pregnancy. She said she had never seen someone hold on to tissue that long, go figure. However we had been testing my HCG levels and they had never dropped below 5 since the first miss. Apparently I was the "lucky one" that all the bad stuff happened to. Move forward to June 12th and my husband and I conceived again. It's just really hard now because I don't want to get overly excited just to feel that lost again. And in all honesty that's taking away from the joy of pregnancy because I'm just acting like it's not real at this point. I have my ultrasound today at 11, and hoping everything is okay, but honestly I don't know if I will ever be one hundred percent comfortable after that experience. I had zero spotting cramping or any kind of symptom other than my morning sickness and breast tenderness kind of disappeared. This go around I don't have quite the morning sickness I did before, but every day that I feel it makes me happy because I feel like that's a sign that my baby is still alive. It's all a tough situation. It's something I looked at before going through and thought it really can't be that bad when it happens so early on. But I was 100% wrong. From the moment you find out you start planning. I had my baby registry already done, the nursery colors picked out, had her name already and had announced to all of the important people in our life. When the moment comes that you find out that isn't going to happen anymore that's such a devastating loss. And then you have to constantly tell everyone around you about the loss when they ask you how your pregnancy is going. As sad as it is that all of y'all have gone through it, it's really nice to feel support and togetherness with a group of other ladies. We will all get through this and we are all stronger than we were before, even though sometimes it doesn't feel like it. Sending Good Vibes y'all's way and hoping for the best for all of us.

I think it is a gradual process. I probably won’t feel totally safe until my baby is in my hands breathing. And maybe not even after that cause I’m have to protect them from the world after that lol Guess we all just have a better idea of what being a mom is like…

My husband and I started trying in October 2022. We had a chemical pregnancy in February at 5w1d. I did a lot of reading on miscarriages after that. I had no idea how common they were and maybe I would have taken it a little easier if I had known. My best friend is also trying and going through the same issues, so that has been helpful to have someone close to talk to that understands.

This time around they did blood tests to confirm the pregnancy at 4w3d and 4w6d. The levels were what they expected and growing so that made me feel a little better.

I’m at 5w2d today. I felt a little better when I got past the point of my chemical pregnancy, but I’m still cautious with my heart and telling others. We told just a couple very close people and we probably won’t tell anyone else until week 14 or 16.

I think I’ll feel even better at my first ultrasound which is scheduled for 9w4d.

I honestly wish I felt more sick. That might make me feel better mentally. During my chemical pregnancy, I felt sick for a couple days and then nothing, so feeling not sick now makes me worry. I didn’t have cramping until the loss during my chemical pregnancy. I have felt minor cramping on and off throughout week 4 and 5 so I’m hoping that means things are moving in the right direction.

I’m hoping this is my sticky baby. Having children is really the only thing I’ve wanted since as long as I came remember. And I worked hard to build a life, home, and relationship that would be good for my future family. I sometimes just feel like I’m being punished for waiting so long to start trying.

I’m wishing the best for all of you. Sticky babies for everyone!!!
