Hi Mon26 and squizita. So sorry to hear of your losses. It is really the worst, most horrible time 
In answer to your question about gym/swim mon26, I was told that could do gentle exercise at the gym as soon as I was ready and build up (but I was exhausted for about a month and could hardly lift the remote) and was told to avoid swimming for 6 weeks.
Hope that helps......thinking of you both.

Hi all,
Just posting in a mad panic, going to read through all your posts properly and get to know you in a min...
I had a MC in Dec & have literally just this minute found out I'm pg again. Absolutely terrified 
We'd persuaded ourselves to wait to 'try' as ive been offered a fantastic job in 6 months' time. Which I guess is now out the window. But above all I'm petrified I'm not strong enough to go through this again.
I've been feeling really ill and exhausted, with awful tummy pains and a little spotting on fri. But no other symptoms it was only the missed AF that made me wonder.
Oh god, not sure I can do this - or my poor DH, he wants it so much - & this pain surely isn't a good sign
Massive hugs to you all, thanks for listening

LCR I found out I had rhesus negative blood when I had the mc last year and the nurse gave me an injection after the ERPC. Didn't know what it meant and to honest, the doctor didn't help make it very clear. From what I understand, after much reading, is that it is okay in a first pregnancy but during the birth, when yours and the baby's blood come into contact (they can also come into contact during mc or if you have a serious fall when pregnant), if the baby is not rhesus negative, your body makes antibodies to protect your blood from what it sees as something harmful. So next time you get pregnant you already have the antibodies in your blood ready to attack. You need the injection to stop that happening. They usually give you another shot of the injection in the few weeks before the birth too. Do you know what your DH is? We've not found out yet, but if he's the same there's no problem as the baby will be rhesus negative too.
Congratulations boymeetsworld you are officially in metalling phase. No matter what you planned or the worry over being pg, you are pregnant today and all you can do is try to go with the flow..easy words, you can tell me to get lost if you want!!
Mon have you had any investigations so far? I've just had one mc which was bad enough, I cannot imagine how sad you must feel or answer those questions, I just hope that others can offer more support on here, and that you can get some help to look into things.
I'm sorry that you're also here squizita at 34 you have a lot going for you though and I'm glad you're so positive about trying again 
Here's lots of the requested moral support!

Welcome Mon26 and squizita. So sorry you find yourself here, but hope you find as much comfort and support as I have on the thread. I may have recommended it to this thread before, but if you've not come across it, I'd really recommend the book 'Coming to Termiffy Jon Cohen if you want to know more about recurrent mc.
It's by a science journalist whose wife suffered multiple losses and I read it after my second when I was trying to understand what could be causing them. It's really useful in summarising what little is known and the huge amount that's not known about recurrent miscarriage and it also has some very hopeful, and truthful, stats about chances for successful pregnancy after many losses.
Wecome to you, too, BoyMeetsWorld, and congrats on your BFP. Understand the intensity of the fear when you know your pregnant again and hope the next few months go quickly and uneventfully for you. Do you have an EPU which will give extra scans, etc., because of your history?
I found myself wondering if getting pregnant quite easily could be a factor, too, as both my pregnancies ending in early miscarriage were conceived on the first or second month we tried. There was actually was something in the news about this last year (Google 'super-fertility' and 'miscarriage' to read about it), so this is an area of active research.
Glad you've gotten to hear the heartbeat, lcr77, and hope the rhesus news turns out to be not much of anything to worry about. Will keep fingers crossed. Can you get a midwife or someone to explain the ramifications to you a bit more?
And finally, thanks, jolly, feeling much better now. Think my body has worked out how to cope with the new huge bump and I've been sleeping and eating ok the last few days. Sleep makes a world of difference.

Hello everyone, can i join you all on the voyage?
Dh has finally agreed to trying for a baby, baby no5!
Wasn't contemplating anymore babies, until i became pregnant by mistake on the contraceptive pill!
Although my pregnancy was an accident, i got used to the idea, as did dh but unfortunately i had a miscarriage . It really shocked me, and I'm still upset about it now, but i feel ready to try again so im looking to join this thread.
I have had one full cycle since my mc, so im safe to start trying as soon as .
Goodluck to all of us, sprinkling baby dust

Congratulations boymeetsWorld
I haven't been sick yet, just a little nausea. Which would be very welcome after the two horrific sicky pregnancies I had with DS and DD, if it wasn't for mc last month.
Ah, if only i could properly work out dates. I am really glad to have been able to get pg so quickly, but if I had a period in between then I'd find the dating thing easier . Oh, I live in Sweden, so I have to battle through midwife appointments in my broken swedish, everyone speaks english, but lots of the subtleties are lost. Dreading trying to explain it, over the phone, as I'll have to give them dates before I can get an appointment.

Evening ladies - I'm here still lurking in the background - welcome to the new ladies and I'm sorry you find yourselves here but this is the best place to be for you right now - you will feel the love and support in the room as time goes on and plenty of hand holding.
Congratulations mumtum - wow I first met you when we mc'd early last year and now look a you :) xx
Great to hear some good results and scan stories :)
mrshp how are you doing?
jolly how was the holiday v jealous :)
Afm I have officially stopped bleeding and am now waiting for that bloody woman to arrive - the specialist said we were damn unlucky even at my age (nearly 43) to have suffered three mc's in the last 12 months and said the odds are in our favour for the next one :) a friend suggested IVF - how do you explain to a non-maternal person that I have no problem getting pg ....... It's just staying pg I have problems with???
Wedding plans are going great guns, dress picked and paid for - unfortunately the poor lady in the bridal shop had a bit of a shock when I said the wedding is July this year lol luckily it doesn't need too much alteration (unless we get lucky between now and then 
)
Love to you all and big hugs to those in need ;) enjoy your Easter break xx
