My first time posting so I hope it's in the right place. After 2 miscarriages in 8 months 1 at 6 weeks 6 days last one at Christmas at 9 weeks after 3 years trying, I'm really loosing hope on the scan we saw heartbeat I'm gutted. Small fibroid was seen at the scan but was told it was nothing to worry about, Was it that?? Why does it feel like it will never happen?? SadSad

@Lacedwithgrace

I had a stillborn daughter, then my living daughter (now 7) then 6 miscarriages. Now I'm suprisingly pregnant without ttc, progressing nicely and have no complications so far. SIL is pregnant after 2 mmc and is due any day. It is possible, it can happen but it's difficult and it's normal to feel so upset x
Congratulations 🥳, And thank you, It is so very difficult but hearing of women getting through this and having a healthy pregnancy afterwards is keeping me going through my bad days, Thank you 🙏.

@Pinchofnom

Sending you a handhold OP. I had multiple miscarriages before a successful pregnancy. I was undergoing tests with the hospital but then became pregnant.

DP and I are in discussion over whether we should have another but I am anxious over the possibility of further miscarriages so I completely understand you being worried.

I hope 2022 will be your year.

Thank you so much and I hope if you decide to try again it all works out 🤞, Thank you for sharing your success it's really helping me ❤️.

@TimeForTheChristmasTree

Sorry about your losses OP, and best of luck going forward.

It took 10 months ttc for DD. She was born at 32 weeks, so traumatic, so we didn’t think about adding another baby for years. It then took 12 months ttc for the next pregnancy to end at 6 weeks, another 12 months ttc for another miscarriage around 6 weeks. Then a few more months ttc DS (who is now 1). Born prematurely too, but here, and we are forever grateful.

We’d given up to be honest, so many months and years spent staring at ovulation sticks and pregnancy tests. I had a procedure to put dye into my tubes, to be checked, and I got pregnant the next month.

Best wishes to you xxx

And Im sorry for your losses too and so glad you got your happy ending 🙏, 🤞 I do too 🙏🤞.

@itshappened

I lost my first baby at 17 weeks, then had a successful pregnancy. I then had 2 consecutive miscarriages at 6 and 8 weeks, before conceiving my second child. I'm sorry you are going through this, but please do not give up hope. As others have said, it may be worth getting a private appointment with a specialist to do some exploratory investigations to see if there is anything going on. In my case they were pretty much unexplained, although the last miscarriage they think may have been due to an infection.
Thank you for your reply, So sorry for your losses and Congratulations on your babies. Hope I get some answers next month at my appointment 🤞🤞.

@pastaparadise

Sorry for your losses, its so painful.

I had 2 early m/c. Luckily got tested 9n the NHS and diagnosed with anti phospholipid syndrome. Was started on blood thinners in subsequent pregnancies and now have 2 dc. Sooo grateful to the Dr who suggested I get tested.

It does make subsequent pregnancies quite stressful, but lots of people get there so try to stay positive.

Thank you so much for sharing, And Congratulations on your babies, I'm hoping to start having tests in February 🤞.

@Glendaruel

I'm writing this holding my 1 year old daughter as she drifts back to sleep. I had two miscarriages before her. The pain and fear doesn't leave you, as you know things can go wrong. But hope drives you through. I tried to be open about the miscarriages as I found it easier to deal with and thought it was more helpful for others experiencing it. My cousin miscarried and didn't realise just how common it is until people mentioned their experience.I

Good luck!!

Awh how lovely 🥰, Congratulations, Yes it seems to be more common than I first thought. Stories like yours give me so much hope thank you 🙏

Dollydingleberry my thoughts exactly, I assured them I wasn't overweight but got another long comment a very patronising one I agree?!.

@MothExterminator

OP, I really hope you will have your baby soon. I had three miscarriages before my third baby. I have no idea why things suddenly went wrong. We had private care (aspirin and progesterone) but I have also heard really good things about the recurrent miscarriage clinic at St Mary’s hospital in London. Professor Reagan is supposed to be amazing.

Thank you so much and congratulations 🥳, I have an appointment next month so hoping to start getting some answers very soon 🌈

@Bells3032

One of my closest friends is currently 31 weeks after three miscarriages in 18 months, they're not sure what caused it.

My mother in law had a balanced translocation and had 5 miscarriages before going on to have two successful pregnancies in a row and that was over 30 years ago when treatment was limited

Makes me very hopeful, Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

@Tarne

It must be tortuous to know that excess weight is a proven endocrine/hormone disruptor. rbej.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12958-018-0336-z basically a toxic cocktail that inhibits or stops fetal growth completely, when you don't have the will power or psychological strength to become slimmer and for a baby to grow healthily.

It's so crucial to fetal health it really is in your future baby's and in your best interest to sort this out BEFORE trying to get pregnant if only to increase your chances of a happy, healthy outcome for you and your baby.

I don't think doctors stress this enough to overweight couples because it's such a sensitive and emotive issue but please op, there really is no getting away from this.

I wish you all the best Flowers

Piss. OFF. Your first paragraph is incredibly patronising. For most, not being able to lose weight isn’t a ‘lack of willpower’ and the fact you’d even think that shows how little understanding you have of the obesity crisis. I bet you’re also a calories in Vs calories out subscriber too... read some Gary Taube ffs Hmm Being overweight isn’t a failing of character or morality, in most cases it’s a failing of our system to provide a nutrient rich diet rather than normalising high carb, low nutrient density food as the norm in the name of cheaper food production. Bodies are built differently and how they interact with high carb diets is one of those many differences. As I said, read some Taube. He summarises the problems with modern western diets and the research theyre based on (Angel Keys’ 7 countries study is the root of our modern diet and is deeply flawed research etc).

Secondly, Overweight and yes, even obese women are perfectly capable of having completely normal and healthy pregnancies. In fact, shockingly, perfectly normal, healthy pregnancies are the norm for overweight women. Yes there’s some increased risks to pregnancies in some cases - but you’re presenting you’re argument as if all overweight women will have complex pregnancies when the opposite is true. Historical high blood pressure, a history of drug use, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive exercise or smoking are all much higher risk factors than obesity. IUGR is also not exclusive to obese women - most cases of IUGR occur in women with healthy or underweight BMI’s.

I speak as a woman who’s only living child was conceived and born after a completely straight forward pregnancy when I weighed 21 stone at 5ft 5. My one experience does not a case study make, but it’s posts like yours which terrified me when I found out I was pregnant and there’s absolutely no need for it. Stop presenting nuanced statistics and risk as absolutes - it’s deeply, deeply wrong.

I ate a low carb, high fat diet to get pregnant (PCOS causes insulin resistance, not the other way around). If you have hormonal disruption like PCOS (which is what you’re talking about there), you know about it. Trust me when I say if this is the OP’s issue, she doesn’t need you to tell her.

It’s worth you noting also that Not every fat woman is insulin resistant and not every woman with insulin resistance will develop PCOS. There’s a much higher link between nutrient poverty and PCOS than weight.

The OP will be acutely aware if she has PCOS or if her weight is a barrier to conception, you don’t need to ‘educate’ her.

You might feel it’s your calling in this world to tell fat women they’re weak willed and murdering their own babies with food, but I speak for all fat women when I say DFOD.
