Hi ladies. I had a miscarriage last Friday. I was almost 16 weeks. I thought I was safe because I’d passed the magic 12 weeks. My heart is broken in a way I never thought possible. I had a 12 week scan and all looked good, there was a strong heartbeat but my baby wasn’t moving. When I showed my concern about this I was told she could be asleep. Im still concerned that this was the start of my baby dying and was a sign that she was sick. I have 3 other children and this pregnancy was so different to there’s. I felt so bloated all the time, even before I knew I was pregnant, no sickness, no sensitivity to taste or smells. The only strong symptom I had was my boobs were killing me all the time until after she was delivered. I also had a small bit of spotting around 8 weeks, can this be a sign that things were never right?
I have this unnatural emptiness, I loved my baby so much from the minute I knew she existed but I need to be pregnant again. It took years for me to conceive so I seen her as my miracle baby, now she’s gone. Am I more fertile after a miscarriage and D&C? I was going to wait to ttc until after my test results come back so hopefully I’ll have answers and know the likelihood of it happening again but I’m afraid the longer I leave it the less fertile I’ll be, I’m nearly 38 so I don’t have years left to try this time. I am not trying to replace a baby with a baby, my little girl will always be part of me but I need to fill this empty hole. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I’d love to hear your experiences.
