Miscarriage first pregnancy

[SSBbris]

I had a D&c last week due to missed miscarriage. I should be 12 weeks this week. I’m finding it hard to move on and am worried about trying again. How did people cope with mc and how long until you got pregnant again?

I was pregnant three months after both of my miscarriages, the pregnancy after the second missed miscarriage resulted in my very lovely DS who is almost 8 months old .

I still think about the babies I miscarried on the day I lost them and also the due dates but equally realise I wouldn’t have DS had they survived. It’s an awfully traumatic thing to experience and I’m sorry it happened to you .

Mine were also missed miscarriages btw, I found it more cruel than a ‘spontaneous’ miscarriage. It’s the fact you have no idea anything is even wrong until the scan, cruel.

Mine wasn't quite a missed miscarriage but it started 4 days before my 12 week scan. I was pregnant again within about 3 months and my last day at work for maternity leave was the same day a year later as the miscarriage.

3 years and 10 days later I have an almost 2 year old and 4 month old. I don't really think about the miscarriage other then on the date.

What made it harder for me was that i had only been back at work a week after having a week off when a colleague who I am close to came back from maternity leave, those first few days were awful.

I also miscarried my first pregnancy and had a D&C. It was 11 years ago. I started trying as soon as I could but it took me a little while and I was pregnant about 11 months later with DD born 9 1/2 years ago.

Be kind to yourself, take time to grieve. Talk about it if you want/need to. It is awful but time can heal, you never forget but it does get easier.

I waited for my next period then tried again, and luckily got pregnant straight away with DD1. The MMC was very traumatic, though, and I'm not sure I had processed it properly. The second pregnancy/DD1's first year was a very anxious time and in hindsight I wish I had told people how I was feeling and got some help.

Had another trouble-free pregnancy three years later with DD2.

for your loss.

I had a five day old baby on the first anniversary of my mmc (at 11w) and went on to have another baby two years later. It took me a long time to grieve and even being pregnant again didn’t stop me feeling sad for the baby I miscarried oddly enough. In hindsight I maybe should’ve given myself some more time to get over it but I just wanted to move on. I only think of the mmc every so often now, six years later, usually on the anniversary but I don’t feel too sad. Hope things work out for you.
