Hi everyone,
I've just turned 30 and I'm currently experiencing a MMC. This is my second miscarriage in less than 6 months.
With this pregnancy, I haven't miscarried yet but will probably start to over the next couple of days as there has been very slow growth and no heartbeat. I should be 9 weeks pregnant.
We don't seem to have any problems conceiving, as with both pregnancies it only took us 2 tries each time to successfully get pregnant. My problem seems to be staying pregnant.
I know nobody here can tell me why it keeps happening, but I suppose I'm looking to hear stories from other people who've been in a similar position and who have gone on to have a successful pregnancy. What helped you stay pregnant?
I have my suspicions that I have IBS and food intolerances, as I've always suffered from extreme bloating and irregular bowl movements. Could this lead to pregnancy loss if there is an issue in my gut? Before we try again, I am going to get blood tests/a full health check to rule out anything, but I wonder could that have something to do with it?
I never thought I'd be referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic at the age of 30 😢 I just don't know how we go through this again.
Thanks ❤️ and thinking of all those going through loss. It's so sad.
