Pregnancy after Miscarriage

Hi,
Just wanted to see/get some resasurrance/advice from others and their stories.

Background: I had a miscarriage 19th September 2023 (first pregnancy). I had been spotting since 3 weeks with this pregnancy. Had 8 week scan (only measuring 6 weeks), heartbeat found all looked good. When Mc occured at 10 weeks the baby was only measuring 8+4w. Night before MC had heavy bleeding and incredible lower back pain Opted for D&C. Also found out that I am Rheus negative.

Only had 1 period inbetween falling pregnant this time round.

25th November 2023 (my partners birthday) we found out I was pregnant again!! Had an early scan at 7 weeks because I was paranoid with muscle back pain (only measuring 6 weeks, but saw hearbeat). Sonographer tried to reassure me that once a heartbeat is found that it is a positive thing.

Although I have had no bleeding or pain this time around and feeling more pregnant (nausea, old bras feeling too small and hurt, some clothes feeling tight already) I am struggling because we saw a heartbeat last time and it didn't end well.

Any success stories or advice would be great. Is it normal to measure behind by a week?

Got a 12 week scan booked for 15th January but it feels so long away!

Hey OP - so sorry for your loss, it must be such a stressful time for you currently. Only a couple more weeks to go until your scan, I hope it gives good news. I'm afraid I've not had a successful pregnancy yet so I can't give support there, but keeping everything crossed that you have a successful pregnancy and all is well this time around. I don't know if it helps, but statistically it's far more likely to go right than wrong, and one miscarriage doesn't add an increased risk for the next pregnancy x
