Pregnant after miscarriage

Hey ladies.. I recently had a miscarriage at the end of November at 8 weeks.. it was an awful experience 😭.. any way I found out I’m pregnant again and I’m currently 5 weeks, I was just wondering if anyone has had a healthy pregnancy so soon after a miscarriage before? I’m so paranoid and scared it will happen again.. and it’s not healthy to keep checking tissue after ever toilet use to check for blood 😩 ... I’m hoping this one sticks xxx

Hello! The have had 4 miscarriages in the past. My first pregnancy ended in a MMC at 11 weeks, I got pregnant 4 months later and had my eldest child. Then 1 more child, then 3 more miscarriages, then DC3. The heathy post miscarriage pregnancies were both conceived with 4 months of the miscarriage (my 3rd child was conceived less than 2 months after my last MC).

I wish you the very, very best of luck, congratulations and a very uneventful pregnancy and labour! Flowers

I conceived 2 months after a miscarriage which was a huge surprise. He's currently fast asleep next to me and perfectly healthy (apart from his current ear infection). Much like you I was constantly checking for blood and every twinge had me panicking, but all was well. Congratulations on your pregnancy Flowers

Apparently you are statistically more likely to keep a pregnancy if you conceive quite soon after a miscarriage so the odds are in your favour!

Thank you. No it’s not nice at all, but I would never have had the beautiful children I have if it wasn’t for them, so I try and look at it that way.

Hi @Carrie92827 I am in a similar situation to you - miscarried at Christmas and just found out I’m pregnant again. So shocked it happened so soon and I’m super anxious. Also, I’m scared of going to the toilet too! Hopefully this will get easier over the next few weeks. Good luck! Xx

Yes, I got pregnant very quickly after a miscarriage. It was about 2 months, and resulted in a healthy baby. It seems to be pretty common, and I've often seen threads on Mumsnet from people in a similar position, who are quite surprised how quickly it can happen! All the best, and I hope this pregnancy goes well. Flowers

Yes I've had 3 miscarriages. DD was conceived the month after my second, and then DS was conceived 3 months after my 3rd. Both pregnancies that went to term were very straightforward. Sorry for your loss - always makes subsequent pregnancy more stressful.

Yes, years ago, I had a miscarriage 1st July and was pregnant in august.
I was paranoid about it happening again but it was all fine.

pippakins · 11/02/2021 10:52

I miscarried in the March and was pregnant again by the May. I worried all the way through but she is now a very healthy seventeen year old! Good luck!

mindutopia · 11/02/2021 10:55

Yes, I had a miscarriage early April 2016 and found out I was pregnant end of May. He’s turning 3 this month. It was a really easy straightforward pregnancy.

QueenArseClangers · 11/02/2021 11:38

I miscarried around 6 weeks and was pregnant the next month (wanted to TTC).
She’s now 7 and I do remember that it seemed to be that I was pregnant for ages!

I’ve also just found out I’m 6 weeks pregnant after a MMC late December at what would have been 11weeks. So worried that it’s going to happen again but trying to o be positive. I see the midwife the end of the month and hoping they’ll offer me a slightly early scan 😳
