Did my weight cause my miscarriage?

[EmiJomobean]

Hi All,

Not doing so good.

I know it’s early days, I only confirmed miscarriage yesterday.

This was my first pregnancy, and we want to start trying soon. My biggest fear now, is that this will continue to happen again and again. I have PCOS, and a very high (40+) BMI. I’m left wondering if this is what caused my baby to be unable to stay snug in my body for 9 months. They say being overweight increases the risk so how can it not be my fault.

if I lose weight will my next pregnancy have a happy ending?

I hate myself right now.

@EmiJomobean I agree, there were some less than sensitive comments here.

whatever your weight/health/journey, it doesn’t negate the trauma of your loss. It’s irrelevant, you were looking for support at a vulnerable time not for advice on weight loss and I’m sorry you had to read some of these comments.

As has been mentioned so many times, there are so many reasons that have nothing to do with maternal health that factor in.

I’m so glad to hear you’re feeling better mentally, sending you lots of love for your healing and future pregnancies if you choose xx

@Lemonyfire thank you ❤️❤️
