Not the same but another perspective…my DH is the only child from a similar situation. Lots of awful miscarriages either side of his birth. His mum still talks about it but she has processed it all (so not traumatised) and 40 odd years later he (and his mum) are perfectly happy and doing just fine. Good luck but even if doesn’t work out I hope you can find peace

I’m almost there, but at the same time not relaxed at all.

I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant, my 8th pregnancy and I have one child. I lost one pregnancy at 20 weeks. Sending you lots of unmumsnet hugs. Also took 10 years to ttc dc, and 7 years to get to this point in this pregnancy.

I just wanted to add, I really couldn’t come away with peace. If you are able to find it/reach it with one then that’s also good.

Im sorry you’re going through this. I can share my positive story - had my second DC at 41 after having x3 miscarriages, a living DC and then a later loss at 17 weeks. Progesterone and aspirin helped me (I also needed blood thinner injections). Second DC was all the more surprising as it had taken me 6 years to conceive DC and this time we weren’t even trying and I was almost a decade older than when I first started ttc.

Good luck.

I had a mc, then DD (4yo) then five losses, one of which was an ectopic. All very similar stages to you. With the last loss I was on aspirin and progesterone but still no dice.

When I was 16w with DS (5mos) I was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome. This is an immune condition which makes your blood clot more easily. They don’t know exactly how it relates to recurrent mc but the theory is the clots might hinder the development of the placenta. I was on daily blood thinner jabs and aspirin for the rest of the pregnancy and for six weeks after his birth. They also picked up through weekly scans that DS was measuring small which can be a feature of APS, so I was brought in for a section at 37w.

I really, really hope you have a good support network around you and get some good news soon Flowers
