Success Stories after 2 Miscarriages

[Nunu90]

Had a mmc in July which resulted in ERPC. We started trying again in November and am currently 6+4 but have pinkish/brown discharge and resigned myself to the fact this is most likely a miscarriage. I didn’t have symptoms with this pregnancy whereas with my first pregnancy I had symptoms from the start. I know that symptoms don’t really mean anything, given I lost the last baby. However, my heart rate has now decreased back to it’s pre-pregnancy rate, so I’m just not hopeful. GP won’t refer to the EPU due to Covid, I checked this with the EPU and they said this was the case.

Anyway, I’ve booked a scan for Monday at 7 weeks so I will know one way or another at that point. Kind of think it would be better knowing than wondering all over Christmas

I feel like this is affecting me anxiety wise much more than the last, I feel incredibly isolated and powerless. I guess it’s because I’m thinking there might be something wrong and this might not happen for us.

Has anyone got positive stories to share of having successful pregnancies after two miscarriages? I’m in desperate need of some positivity

Hello!!
So sorry this is happening it's bloody awful...however there is hope!

I first got pregnant in May 2018, started bleeding at 10 weeks, scan showed the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks...I took ages to recover physically and psychologically in all honesty.

New Year's Day 2019 i got another positive. It didn't feel the same at all!! No symptoms, I didn't feel pregnant and i started bleeding at 8 weeks.

I got another positive at the end of Feb, no period in between the miscarriage and falling pregnant! After doing some reading I decided to take a small dose of aspirin (75mg) from when I first found out and went on to have a successful uneventful pregnancy and now have a gorgeous one year old!

Hope this gives you some hope!! Good luck and be kind to yourself xx

Thank you so much for your response. I am so sorry you had to go through what you did but that’s so great that you now have your baby.

I have read a lot of things about aspirin, is that because sometimes blood clotting can cause miscarriages?

It's ok, we have come out the other end and he was worth allllll the pain

I'm not entirely sure the science behind the aspirin, the GP told me not to take it as did the midwife however the risks were minimal so I took the chance...I'll never know if it made a difference but I'll take it again when I get pregnant in the future.

Hi, so sorry you are going through all this. If it helps, I TTC unsuccessfully for over a year then had a surgically managed MMC at 12 wks (after a normal 8wk scan) then just as I recovered from that 3 months later a natural MC at 6 weeks. I was devastated it had happened twice, and thought there must be something terribly wrong but then a month after that unexpectedly fell pregnant with what is now the beautiful healthy baby in my arms as I type this! Sending good wishes your way.

Strangely, I also took aspirin for my successful pregnancy from as soon as I tested positive as I had read quite a bit in favour.

Thank you so much, it’s so good to hear that not all hope is lost. I am so glad things worked out for you hopefully I will get my rainbow baby soon! I might consider taking the aspirin next time - I’ve read sometimes it is prescribed if you have a clotting disorder which sometimes causes miscarriage...
