Miscarriage cervical shock (may trigger)

[Elles1980]

I'm new here and I'm hoping for maybe some reassurance, I have 4 beautiful children already but my new partner and I (I'm 39 he's 41). Conceived in April, we were due on Xmas day and super excited as it would have been his first child. On Tuesday I had the worst miscarriage, I didn't know how bad it could be. I lost over 30 clots bigger than my hands and so much blood. Luckily I headed straight to accident and emergency as soon as it started. I ended up in cervical shock and passed out and had to be resucitated. I then had to have surgery the next day to remove the rest. I'm a total train wreck and scared to death to use the bathroom, I feel lost and empty and sad and angry. It's been a totally traumatising experience. The gynecologist said it would be fine to try again after a month. Please if anyone has similar experiences could you share? Did anyone have normal pregnancies after such experiences? I'm scared but we so want to have our own child and to complete our family ☹️

This happened to me...cervical shock as I miscarriaged, passed out twice and ended up in resus. It was very traumatic. That happened in the September and I conceived again in the January. DS Is 2.5yrs old now. I've had 2 more miscarriages since Ds one where I had medical management and one earlier natural. Neither was problematic.

Forgot to say I'm 43. Had the mc where I haemorrhaged at 39.

Lumpy76 thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me, I'm such a terrible mess at the moment. I can't help but feel the emptiness inside and just keep thinking about being pregnant (I know that is not a fix for what we have been through). There's is a total irrational fear the same may happen again though. It's so lovely to hear you went on to have a healthy baby ❤️😊 and were well. Midwives and doctors are so contradictory saying it's my age and be careful to try again and others saying there's no reason I shouldnt, it just very confusing but I guess it's early days too xx
