Pregnant again and scared

I've been pregnant twice and both of those pregnancys ended in miscarriage. The latest of which was just over a year ago. This would have been my first Christmas with my new baby. I am now 7 weeks pregnant again and scares that I will loose this one as well. I lost my first child at nearly 3 months pregnant and my second at about 9weeks. I don't think I could cope with another miscarriage. Can anyone help me calm the nagging in my head

I understand how you feel I have been there but have to boys now. But it is a very scarey time. I think there is a pregnant after mc thread.
I will keep my fx for you.

I'm 24 weeks pregnant after 2 miscarriages - this would have also been my first xmas with a baby. I know how you feel and how scary the early weeks are until you have at least got to the scan. To be honest it's still quite scary but it does get better once you are out of the first trimester.

There is a thread in Conception called "Freak out Room" for people in early pregnancy after miscarriages where everyone is in the same boat and gives loads of support for people who are going through the fear and worrry.

I found a 9 week scan very helpful this time around, perhaps an early scan is something that might help you. I was lucky to be in an area with an understanding hospital but you could always go private if not.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and fingers crossed for a happy outcome this time.

Hi, I am 29+5 weeks pregnant after two mcs, I had an early scan and found great comfort in seeing that little heart beating. It is very scary and still is, I feel like pinching myself sometimes and the fear hasn't really gone. From reading around it seems very common to have two mcs unfortunately. :(
I hope this is a sticky one for you, depending on your pct you might be able to ask your gp for a referral for an early scan? This is a good antenatal thread, many of us sadly have had losses or high risk pregnancies, anyone can join it isn't specific like the freak out room.

Congratulations :)

Congratulations to you Kellzi glad to have helped Blush I have had some great help myself on MN, a real comfort these boards. I really hope this one works out for you. If you can afford it try and have an early scan and/or enquire if your Dr can refer you for a scan. :)

sazbrilla been following this post as TTC again after mc myself. So sorry to read your news.

I hope you are able to take some time out and look after yourself.

Take care xx

Sazbrilla - my heart goes out to you. I had my 3rd MC a couple of weeks ago so know how hard this will haev hit you. So I am all guns blazing now on trying to find out what is wrong, both NHS and private route. It's helping me to feel like I am doing something constructive. I also joined a signing group (Glee club UK) to give myself a new hobbie and to try and stop myself obsessinig all the time! It is helping.

Take some time to lick your wounds then think about next steps

Sazbrilla · 11/01/2012 15:01

Mildredh thank you. I hope it works out for you. Really is hitting hard. Fortunately I have a guides group so that is helping me a little. Just going to see what happens next. Not rushing into anything now as really do think I need time to concentrate on myself and sort my head out. Thanks for your support x

Really sorry to hear that op. When you feel ready maybe consider seeing your gp and getting some tests done? My aunt had several mcs and found a problem with her uterus which was weak, she had some stitches put in and carried full term, she now has two dcs.

Sazbrilla · 11/01/2012 23:37

Thanks angel. Might just do that.
