Healthy pregnancy after 2 miscarriages?

[catkins2003]

Hi

MY DS is 1yrs old. I got pg accidentally (was shocked as had taken 2 years to conceive DS) and had a mmc (started bleeding at 10+5 but baby stopped growing at 5/6 weeks). Had no previous experience of mc, was not given option of D&c by hospital so went through naturally, was absolutely horrendous it took a week and the pain was worse then labour.

Became pg again 3 months later (planned). At 5 weeks had bleeding, scan showed that it was not ectopic but had to come back as too early to see heartbeat, so asked to come back at 7 weeks. Was delighted (so happy i burst into tears) at 7 weeks to see my little beans heartbeat. As i was so nervous due to previous mc was offered another scan at 9 weeks. 9 weeks comes, no sign of mc, good strong pg symptoms, so excited about seeing my baby on the screen again - scan showed no heart beat :( Devastated, this was on Tuesday. Insisted on D&C which i had on thursday. Consultant said i could start trying as soon as bleeding stopped and that there was no need to wait.

Am desperate for another child but am so scared of going through this again.
Has anyone been through similar and gone on to have healthy pregnancy/get past 12 week barrier?

I took years to conceive then had 2 MC's. I then had a healthy DS. Had another MC then had healthy DD. It has taken me 9 years to have my children but I feel they were worth the wait.

Good luck to everyone in their quest for a family x

I had 2 mcs in 3 months (5 weeks and 8 weeks), got pg again 3 months later and ds2 is now 11 months. Hideous and terrifying as this sounds, it can just be horrendous luck.

Sympathy and best wishes for the future.

It's so good to hear other people's stories, I sometimes think I should accept I might not have another successful pregnancy, but this gives me some hope.

Oh Maja, it's a good time to practise being kind to yourself. After 2 weeks, I realised I had been in shock for the 1st week, it took me that long to realise. Then I felt very very low, I'm glad I wasn't at work, I would have been crying in the loos most of the time. If you don't deal with it now, you'll have to deal with it later.

tasmaniandevilchaser - I know! Unfortunately, my first instinct is to try 'to go back to normal' (back to work, see people etc) and get pregnant again ASAP. I know this is all denial and trying to pretend that this never happened.

Luckily (ahem) my body won't allow me to do that, since I'm too unwell. So I'm going to try to chill out, listen my meditation cd's and take my posh bath salts & foams out and try to look after myself fist. I'm also stressing the hell out of my poor husband who must be wishing he could tie me to bed so I would stop following him around the house saying 'I'm feeling better, I really do think I'm feeling better, I think I'm fine'.
