Miscarriage support PLEASE

[KM2003]

Hi ladies.
I wrote here a week ago asking to get some support regarding my bleeding situation ar week 8 (there was also no heartbeat so fetus didnt develop). I ended up having a miscarriage.
I'm extremely sad and angry. Hoped to get some positive stories from mums who have been through this situation in their first pregnancy and ended up having a healthy baby in the next round.

Please only good and not horror stories (i saw enough on google)

Thank you....

Hi OP. I might be slightly off your request here because my first pregnancy was fine, but I did go through a number of losses ttc baby 2, and really did think all hope was lost. It wasn't, my DS was conceived a week after my last loss somewhat unexpectedly and is now 18 months and a delight, despite my age and other factors. I'm nearly 25 weeks with baby 3 at the mo, entirely unplanned and a very happy accident for us, all very easy despite gestational diabetes and being not far off 43.

M/c is a dreadful, lonely thing and I'm very sorry for the loss of your baby. So many trite words come up I have found, and not many help, I know. I wish you plain sailing from here.

You have a right to be upset and angry. Do whatever you need to. Try and talk and share your feelings with your close family and friends. Look after yourself and do some little things that make you happy.
I have three children after losses it is such a tough thing to go through.
Take care and best wishes.

I am currently miscarrying at what should be 12 weeks after a MMC at around 8 weeks. I asked lots of questions at the EPU and they were overwhelmingly positive about the chances of going on to have a healthy pregnancy to the extent that they changed my mind - I am 40 and have 2DCs and had said we wouldn’t try again. The optimism of every medical professional I’ve spoken to has convinced us to have another go.

Anecdotally, I have 2 good friends who had miscarriages before going on to have 2 or 3 children without incident.

Miscarriage is awful but it is very common. Good luck!

So sorry.

I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks a few years ago. I was devastated but we picked ourselves up and a month later fell pregnant again - that pregnancy is now a wild and crazy 2 year old.

I'm told you are fertile after miscarriage - luckily it rang true for us. Xx

Glad I have seen this thread, I could also do with seeing some positive stories right now.
I have been spotting lightly for almost 2 weeks now, had an early internal scan at the hospital on Tuesday but no heartbeat was found. I am devastated, I was 6+2. I have another scan booked for next week when I will be 7+2 but the lady who scanned me mentioned that she was surprised not to hear a heartbeat so I am trying to prepare myself mentally for miscarriage, I am sad and scared. We conceived after 9 cycles of trying and I turned 36 in the last few weeks so I am worried time is not on my side and it's not going to happen.
@KM2003 I'm really sorry that this has happened to you. From what I have read miscarriage is common but that doesn't help stop the anger and the hurt when it happens to you. Life can be cruel. Big hugs xx

I'm glad I've seen this too. I'm having a very down day and reading positive stories is very helpful for me.

I’m sorry for what your going through, I had a miscarriage 5 weeks ago myself. I already have a 7 month old so not a first time mum but hopefully it will show your that miscarriages happen, even when you have had a successful pregnancy.
One of my best friends had a miscarriage for her first pregnancy and gave birth to a little boy 7 weeks ago.
I know a few people who have had one, the stats are 1 in 4 I think. My SIL, 2 of my husbands cousins, my friend mentioned above, another friend of mine, my Dads PA. All of them have gone on to have a baby after. The odds are very much in your favour x
