2nd miscarriage

Hi everyone. Unfortunately I've just experienced my second miscarriage this morning. Everything happened naturally overnight and at this moment in time I feel numb and confused. I think with the first time I coped with it pretty well, but this time as I was over 10 weeks it's just heartbreaking.
Is anyone else going through this currently or experienced something like this in the past? Did you go on to have a healthy baby after?
I already have children and those pregnancies were always healthy and complication free. These 2 miscarriages have happened after that and it has really affected me emotionally. It makes me wonder if I should be grateful for the children I already have and just save myself from all this heartache. Regardless of this my heart also aches for another baby. I would love to hear anyone else's experiences regarding this and hopefully it will help with my healing process too.
To all the women that have had miscarriages I pray you find the strength to overcome it and hang in there.

Didn't want to read and run. I am so so sorry for your loss Flowers I've had two DC and two miscarriages in between them. Please do not give up hope. I sometimes think some of us are just more prone to them then others unfortunately- although I do believe if you have three or more losses in a row the NHS will help you with tests etc to see if there is a root cause. Sending hugs- take care of yourself CakeBrew

I had mcs- 14,11,6 and 5 wks, then had 2 fabulous pregnancies and wonderful babies, another mc then final 3rd baby.
I taught myself to think that each pregnancy and mc is completely independent of the other- having had mcs means in no way will you necessary have another so I just tried to brush the slate clean and start again. It was very hard at pg no. 5 but hey! He's a handsome 12 year old now and all the heartache soon leaves, however I appreciate that while you're experiencing it, the pain is like no other.
I had a ds and a dd and wanted a 3rd baby. I had that last mc and worried was I pushing my luck? Should I just be grateful, and stop? Also with having one of each I was very lucky. But, like you I wanted another and thought I'd take a chance and luckily did have my 3rd and so for that reason I'd say that if you do want your other babies and can cope with the stress at the moment of the mc.
Just don't give up hope- one day you'll look back and forget all of this. I have. I have 3 fabulous dcs and consider myself to be very lucky.
Good luck xx

Thankyou so much MyEternalSunshine and bramblina for getting back to me, it means so much as you tend to feel quite lonely at this stage. My husband is trying to be as supportive as he can be but it's still hard. It's reassuring to hear such great news from you after your pregnancy losses, so at least I have some hope if I ever choose to try again. In the meantime I need to take each day as it comes, hoping the heartache will clear up soon.

It does. I did dwell on it for a long time. It was all I focused on and it was hard not to as my dh worked away so it was just me and the dog, and work.
You sound relatively positive so keep that up and focus on the positives of your life xx
