I'm 42 and have just had my second missed miscarriage in less than twelve months. I really thought the one I had last year was a one-off but both babies died at 7 weeks so a pattern seems to be developing. With the mmc last year I found out the baby had died at a scan at 10 weeks and had the actual mc the following week, and with this one I found out at a scan last week when I should have been 9 weeks pg and I'm now waiting for the pregnancy to mc naturally as I don't want to take the pills or have a D&C if I can help it.
Are there any older mums reading this who had a successful pregnancy after mmcs? Did you try anything in particular to maintain the pregnancy? (I don't smoke, didn't drink during the pg, I eat healthily and take my folic acid and multivits). I have a ds and have read that women who have sons as their first child tend to have more mcs than those who have girls. Has anyone had the immunoglobulin injections I've read about to try and combat this? Sorry, I'm probably clutching at straws here, and perhaps, as the radiographer suggested, I'm too old, but I don't want ds to be an only and want to do anything I can to make our next try successful (have never had any problem getting pg, it's staying pg that seems to be the problem). Thanks for reading.
