Pregnancy after miscarriage

[Mummytomatthew18]

Hi lovelies

I’m 22 years old and had a miscarriage at 6 weeks last week, this was my second pregnancy. I have a DS who is 16 months old. I’m struggling to come to terms with what’s happened to myself and my husband and have been spending lots of time wondering why it happened and trying to deal with it.

I don’t want to sound selfish but one thing I’ve finding myself constantly wondering is when I will be able to have another baby. I know that another child will not replace the one that we have sadly lost but we are desperate to extend our family and I just want a bit of advice from those who have experienced similar and have gone on to have another baby, how long did you wait? Any complications etc?

Please share any stories/advice that you may have. Sending baby dust to everyone TTC and lots of love and hugs to those going through something similar to us.

Sorry you have experienced this. It's a horrible thing to happen no matter how far along you were.

Firstly take some time to process what has happened, it's difficult however you need to look after each other and talk.

For trying to conceive again, you don't need to wait however you do need to check you have a negative test first. If you are desperate to get pregnant again I would recommend getting opk and testing so you know when you are ovulating and can plan to dtd.

Not to panic you I miscarried at 12 weeks and it took 9.5 weeks for me to get my period back. Sadly I've never managed to conceive again.

Thanks so much for your response. So sorry for your loss that you experienced and sadly not conceiving again. I appreciate your advice, I will get some OPK tests and will ensure that I have a negative pregnancy test before we try again. I am so hopeful that things will work out eventually.

Right now we are doing just as you say and trying to look after each other and allow ourselves to heal emotionally.

Love to you 💙

So sorry for your loss. I've also just had a missed miscarriage picked up at our 12 week scan, the baby's heart stopped beating around 10 weeks and I'm waiting to have surgery as my body won't let it go. It's so important that you don't keep wondering why it happened; the Dr told us that the destiny was set at conception and there's nothing that we could have done to stop it and nothing we could have done differently.

We also want to start TTC again and that's what gives me hope. I've read so many positive stories from people who have gone on to have more children. Sending you luck and love on your journey x

So sorry to hear of your loss, sending lots of love and hugs to you. I have an appointment at the hospital tomorrow as haven't seen anyone since miscarriage confirmed at private scan so unfortunately haven't had much in means of reassurance that I couldn't have done anything differently. I don't think anyone ever expects to be in this 'club' but I've taken so much from talking to women who sadly have experienced the loss of a baby regardless of how early/late. I wish you and your partner all the luck with TTC and am sending lots of baby dust your way. Likewise, from reading many threads I am attempting to remind myself that there are positives after loss and that will hopefully be the same in our cases.

Love to you 💙
