Hi im new to everyone, in fact im not expecting but am a worried sick mother of a young daughter who has tonight had a second miscarriage at 15 weeks. My daughter is 18 has a lovely home and partner of four years. Last january she miscarried her 1st pregnancy at 15 weeks, it was a difficult time and she never fully got over it. Just after christmas she found out she was pregnant again and everyone was so excited for her, last week she had a scan and everything was perfect and as it should be, this evening she passed a clott with no pain and i rushed her for a scan, which showed no heart beat. She is beside herself and i am trying to be strong fjor her, the sonographer had no answers and she has to go back tomorrow to arrange an erpc. Can anyone help me to try and get answers for her, is there somewhere she can be referred to test her or at least give her some infomation. The doctor said its just one of those things. Sorry its so long winded. I would be grateful of any help as to what to do or if she can have counselling.Debi XX

hi grummy

i cant be of much help, sorry but i didnt want you to go unanswered.

i misscarried a few times too over the last few years and its heartbreaking, im so sorry for you an your DD. im so glad she has you and her partner to support her as i never felt i could talk to anyone about it.

all i can suggest is maybe asking the doctor about it when she goes in again? or see what comes up on here

id definetly recomend counsiling though, its a very dificult thing to come to terms with at any age nevermind 18

hope it works out for her, shes got plenty of time to have her family :) xx

Ive miscarried my 1st then had 2 daughters, miscarried again at 16 weeks then had my 3rd daughter, then miscarried again. I asked the hospital to investigate as i thought maybe i had a problem carrying males. They said they would investigate after 4 which is ridiculous. I never received and support and was never offered counselling but i didnt ask. I would follow it up with the g.p.

So sorry for your daughter.

Different health authorities have different policies on recurrent MC testing. Most seem to be after 3 MC, although some are 2, but I think that is more for older women.

MC is sadly so common at any age.

What IS a bit different in your daughter's situation is that both have been after 12 weeks. This may "qualify" her for some earlier investigation?

Good luck. On the plus side (and I know there probably doesn't seem like a plus side at the mo) she is very young and has lots of time to grieve and investigate and try again.

I am so sorry for your daughter. I have had 3 mc's but early on and the NHS will not refer me because I am young (30) and the mc's were not consecutive.

However, the fact that she is miscarrying so late is an indication that something is wrong and needs looking into before she TTC again.

Your GP should be able to refer her for counselling, and given the circumstances this should be quite quick.

Thanks to you all, we have seen the doc today and she is bein ref after her erpc tomorrow,mainly because i had the same problem many many years ago when things were different and we just had to get on with things.Hence both my girls decided to start a family early as after i had problems that resulted in being an older mum. thanks again.
