Hi everyone I am just wondering if anyone has had a successful pregnancy after a missed miscarriage at 17 weeks pregnant and also how long did it take to get pregnant again?
I have just had a missed miscarriage at 17 weeks pregnant. We went for a routine consultant appointment last Thursday, I was actually looking forward to our appointment, I was not ready for the shock we had. The doctor couldn't find the babies heartbeat so they sent me down for a scan, who confirmed there was no heartbeat and the baby had died the week before. I was absolutely devastated. I went back on Friday for the tablet, and then I went in on sunday to be induced. It was the most horrible experience of my life, I gave birth to our baby, and we held it and took photos. We were given a memory box off the hospital. We have agreed to a post mortem, and have to wait 8 weeks for the results. I still can't really believe what has happened, and I am constantly crying. I keep thinking it's a horrible nightmare and I need to wake up. We know we want to try again as soon as I stop bleeding, but I am so scared of it happening again and also I am scared of it taking ages to fall pregnant again as it took 10 months in the first place. Also previous to this miscarriage I had a miscarriage in august last year at 5 weeks. Has anyone had a successful pregnancy after two miscarriages? How long did it take to conceive again? Thanks xx
