pregnant after 2 consecutive miscarriages

(18 Posts)
I am pregnant, 3rd time around and hoping for some positive news!!
Last 2 I miscarried, both stopped growing at the same 8 week mark.
This time around I am 6 weeks, hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I am young (24) and have no health problems, or family history of anything wrong.
Has anyone been in the same boat and carried successfully third time around without medical intervention???
I am just married, and the last two have caused so much grief that I just don't know how we will get through it a third time around!

Well for those looking for hope I hav some....
was 6 weeks when posted this, had a scan which actually dated conception earlier (!!!!)
Had a scare last night with some bleeding, went to A&E, was told things were not looking good...and we thought (well assumed) the worst.
HOWEVER tests, scan, and internal done today - 14 weeks and baby is ok!!!
Thank you for everyone who gave me positive stories... now I believe that things can work out!! Sooooo happy!!!

Juliet2 - aspirin - unless there was a problem then things may just happen when they are ready. Although I think that aspirin is safe (1/2 a day baby aspirin) i have read. Probably best to check with Dr first though, and trust me, just when you feel like there is no hope things work out unexpectedly

I lost 1 abay at 12 weeks then twins at 10 weeks and had just about given up hope... and now ihave 2 DDs and 1 DS. But I do remeber only too well that fear of it all going wrong, checking your knickers every time you go to the loo, jumping at every twinge. You just have to trust that this time it's meant to be, or you'll drive yourself barmy! Lots & lots of luck!

Thank you everyone for so many positive responses!!
I have a scan booked in for the 30th, all going well should put my mind to rest for at least a few days!
My GP has said if i miscarry this time around they will do some testing, for now I am preparing for the worst, but still hoping for the best.
I had 4 mc before ds1, i was 17/18 at the time of them. was put under consultant care, scanned, they found PCOS but suspected inverted uterus, they did a hysteroscopy(sp?) which showed nothing but immediately after that I fell pregnant with ds1. 14 months later I fell pregnant with ds2, no problems.

Its hideous at the time, somthing i hope i never have to go through again, but dont lose hope because just because youve had 1/2/3/4/5 mc doesnt mean you wont go on to have a baby. xx gd luck

I had 2 consecutive m/cs between my 1st and 2nd babies. It was awful. I also took 6-8 cycles to get pregnant each time. The whole thing was really hard at the time. Anyway, i went on to have 2 healthy pregancies and 2 beautiful baby girls. Hang in there. Can you get an early scan. I sobbed at the GP and he got me one so you could try that! All the best.
I had 3 early miscarriages, all missed miscarriages between 8 and 10 weeks.

Now have 3 boys without any medical intervention smilesmilesmile. And: I am much older than you...

Good luck to you - as somebody said earlier the odds are heavily stacked in your favour!!
I had 2 mmc in a row, first at 10-11 weeks and the second at 7 weeks. DD was born exactly one year after what would have been the due date of the first mmc.

I don't have to tell you how on edge I was all the way through, until she was safely delivered..
I had two consecutive early miscarriages between my 2nd and 3rd children. Each time I felt uneasy until I had passed the point of the previous miscarriage. My 3rd child was born at term and healthy, after a fairly normal pregnancy with no interventions.

Miscarriages are utterly miserable experiences, but nonetheless they are usually a completely normal part of a woman's reproductive life.

Hope you are encouraged by all the good outcomes!

hmm me too. I had 2 mcs then had my son who is nealry 6,

But trying for number 2, same thing, i had 2nd mc in march just gone.

We are trying again now.
So similar to you. Took us 2 years to have 1st mc, so i am very worried.

Still, its encouraging to me that you have posted 6 weeks into your 3rd pregnancy. There may be a bit of hope for me. x
